#northernlights This 3-day itinerary focuses on maximizing your chance to see the spectacular Aurora Borealis near Edmonton, primarily during the peak viewing season (October to early April). Day one begins by arriving in Edmonton and checking the AuroraWatch forecast for geomagnetic activity. In the late evening, drive just east of the city to Elk Island National Park, a designated Dark Sky Preserve, to escape light pollution. Bundle up with warm clothes and a thermos of hot cocoa as you wait for the magic to unfold overhead—the best viewing window is often between 10 PM and 3 AM. On day two, recover with a daytime visit to the Royal Alberta Museum or explore the shops and cafés of Old Strathcona. For your second night of aurora hunting, head northeast to Sir Winston Churchill Provincial Park, another established dark sky hotspot outside of Lac La Biche. Consider booking an aurora tour here that might include other winter activities like snowshoeing or ice fishing while you wait. Day three is a final chance for the lights. Enjoy a leisurely Edmonton morning, then monitor the forecast for a strong solar storm event. If the lights are active, head to a locally known in-city viewpoint like the Saskatchewan Drive Outlook for a final, breathtaking glimpse of the dancing green and purple skies before concluding your trip. #Edmonton #NorthernLights #AuroraBorealis #ExploreAlberta #DarkSkyPreserve #ElkIsland #TravelCanada #WinterWonderland #NightSky #AuroraQuest

#canadatrip If you can’t visit France, the courtyard around Place Royale might be just the spot! The entire area is pedestrian only, making it easy to explore at a slow pace and ideal for photos at any time of day. From here it is an easy walk to Petit Champlain, the Old Port, the waterfront promenade, and the Lower Town funicular that connects you to Upper Town. There are several nearby cafés and casual food spots for quick breaks, but most visitors use this as a sightseeing stop rather than a sit-down dining destination. Tip: early morning is the quietest time to experience the square before tour groups arrive, while evenings offer soft lighting and a very different atmosphere.

A place you must visit at least once in your life: Banff, located in Alberta, Western Canada. 🏔️🇨🇦✨ Falling in love at first sight with a photo of Moraine Lake in Banff, I chose Canada as my honeymoon destination and spent a dreamy week there. Let me share the must-see spots in Banff with you. 💌 📍 Moraine Lake (📷1-4) A special lake open to the public for only about five months a year, accessible only via authorized shuttle buses! The emerald-colored lake surrounded by the Rocky Mountains offers a truly breathtaking view. ✨ 📍 Lake Louise (📷5-9) One of the world's top 10 scenic spots, this beautiful emerald lake changes its hues with the sunlight, bringing peace to your heart just by gazing at it. 🫧 Don't miss the popular afternoon tea at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise Hotel located right in front of the lake! 📍 Emerald Lake (📷10-14) As its name suggests, this lake boasts a refreshing emerald color. It's a highly recommended spot for canoe enthusiasts, offering canoeing at a more affordable price compared to other lakes! 🚣 📍 Banff Downtown (📷15-18) A charming downtown with quaint buildings and a view of the Rocky Mountains embracing the town. Take a stroll and explore while enjoying the famous Canadian snack, BeaverTails, which even impressed former President Obama! 🥖 📍 Peyto Lake (📷19-20) Known for its emerald waters and fox-shaped outline, this stunning lake can be admired from a viewpoint without any special trekking. 🦊 Once in a lifetime, Banff in Canada! Don't forget it! 🇨🇦🤍

#falladventures You don’t need to take the boat to feel the magic of Niagara — just walking along the viewpoints is enough to fall in love with this place. 💦 The roar of the falls follows you everywhere, and the mist rises like a dream. ➡️There’s something unforgettable about enjoying lunch while watching one of the world’s most famous waterfalls right in front of you. 🍣At Grand View Restaurant, you can sit by the window, order fresh sushi, and listen to the sound of the falls in the background — it feels both peaceful and surreal. 🌊 The panoramic view makes every bite special — imagine sipping green tea while the mist rises outside and tourists stop in awe at the edge of the lookout. It’s one of those moments that make you slow down and just be there. After, do a quick stop at the duty-free — because who can resist a little shopping before crossing the border? 😄 Then spent hours strolling along the promenade, admiring how powerful and calm nature can be at the same time. No matter how many photos you’ve seen, seeing the falls in person is something else entirely — mesmerizing, alive, and unforgettable. 💡 Tips: Walk all the way to the Table Rock viewpoint for the best angle of the Horseshoe Falls. Grab a hot drink and just sit for a while — it’s pure peace. ☕️ #NiagaraFalls #GrandViewRestaurant #SushiWithAView #CanadaTravel #TripMoments #FallGetaway #TravelEats #canada #ontario

Feel the thrill of Niagara Falls! 🌊 Standing close to the edge, watching the sheer power as water cascades down, is unforgettable. Take a walk along the observation deck or opt for a boat tour to experience the falls up close (expect to get drenched!). The falls are equally stunning at night when they’re beautifully illuminated. A spectacular sight you can’t miss! 💦✨ #voyagevibes #niagarafalls #ontario #canada

I feel like Vancouver in autumn looks even better than in summer. When I first enrolled, a senior student told me I must spend a summer in Vancouver to enjoy its beauty. Indeed, summer days are always sunny with long daylight hours, and it feels like you can get so much done every day. You can swim at the beach and watch the sunset, and the temperature is very comfortable. Everywhere you look, there’s green grass and blue sky, and even just sunbathing on the balcony every day feels satisfying. However, I prefer Vancouver in autumn. The colors in autumn are richer, and everything looks vivid under the sunlight. Shining golden yellow, passionate maple red, green grass, and clear blue sky— just a casual glance is full of surprises, and I can’t help but keep saying, it’s so beautiful, so beautiful. The changes happen quickly, and the beautiful moments don’t last long, so I cherish them especially. When I’m out, I keep taking photos with my phone, wanting to preserve all the beauty. I hope the rainy season comes a little later, a bit slower, so that more beauty and sunshine can stay in Vancouver, and stay with me a little longer.

↓As the city of art, Edmonton doesn't feel like a major oil town in western Canada, or the capital of Alberta. The modern new city and the retro old city collide to create a unique charm. It is a city that can be both dynamic and quiet, with a natural environment that makes it very livable. Every summer, a cowboy festival is held here, where tourists from all over the world dress in cowboy costumes and celebrate with endless beer and food! Edmonton is the capital of Alberta and is known as one of the sunniest places in the world. It has a continental climate, with cold, dry winters and cool summers, long hours of sunshine, and large temperature differences between day and night. It is like a second- or third-tier city, not very prosperous, with few entertainment facilities, but with the lowest shopping tax, relatively cheap housing prices, a well-developed and regulated used car market, and excellent air quality, making it a great place to live. What impressed me most was that even when it rained, it stopped after 1-2 hours. In June and July, the sun rises before 5 am, and the night comes late, with the sun setting around 11 pm, making it feel like life is a bonus.
