Early in the morning, I took another stroll in the center of Whitehorse and saw quite a few city sculptures that I hadn't noticed before. The history of Whitehorse was ignited by the gold rush initiated by prospectors during the Klondike Gold Rush era, but the majority of the street statues are dedicated to commemorating the writers and artists who left their mark in the Yukon region. How interesting! Is there really any connection between the gold mined and the stories penned? Regardless, 'White Fang' by Jack London, inspired and influenced by the northern scenery, is definitely worth a read, and the movie is also one of my favorites.

The good place that you can see Northren light .And it is a good place it also has wildlife zoo there.

White Horse, the capital of the Yukon Province of Canada, also known as Whitehorse, is the largest city in the Yukon. The most important supply station for our trip. Few cities, like the White Horse City, can access such a rich wild nature and provide a public facility in a modern city. This is a city surrounded by the Yukon River. It also has mountains such as Grey Mountain, Haeckel Hill and Golden Horn Mountain. White horse is an easy place to reach, especially compared to Juno. Whether it is RV, airplane or cruise, it is easy to reach. Here you can feel the locals' love of the city. The people here are very friendly and simple.

On the outskirts of Whitehorse, the capital of Canada, we found a cabin away from the city to see the aurora. The cottage is very fairytale, facing a vast wilderness and distant mountains. The space is wide and unobstructed, making it ideal for viewing aurora. Even indoors, there are transparent large glass windows, you can watch the aurora warmly, and bring a cup of hot chocolate by the way! This is the most comfortable way to see the aurora. The night aurora comes on time, we are immersed in the aurora cheerful beating. Today's aurora color is mixed with green, red and yellow. Like a rainbow. The white horse's aurora is said to be different from the most famous Aurora resort in Canada, where the aurora is rotating. Sure enough, the aurora circle turned, I have to sigh the magic of nature.

The Yukon area in northern Canada is a bit like New Zealand, a lake and a lake, but compared to New Zealand, it is obviously more desolate. From the Yukon capital, Whitehorse, after several lakes, although it is cloudy, it has a taste, so that when you return to the road, you will pass through these places again, thinking that the sunny day must be more beautiful, but it is not rainy, but let it rain. People are intoxicated. Cloudy enhances the reflection of the lake, everything is washed, very fresh, this is the most beautiful cloudy day I have ever seen. The temperature is not too cold, it can be lying on the trestle. This lake is called Fox Lake. The empty lake, the little friend asked me not to be afraid, to be honest, okay, feeling very quiet, there is a kind of unique scenery.
