#2024 Travel Review Address: 8649 Appleby Line, Campbellville, ON Lavender is not only found in Provence, France, but also in North America, and throughout the summer you can visit up to 30 lavender-growing venues in Ontario. In pursuit of a fantastic and romantic adventure, perhaps you can add “The Purple Road” to your list of must-sees in your life. Before planning your trip, be sure to ask the farms about the blooms of lavender. Some require appointments for visits, most of which are open to the public. Among them, Kelso Lavendar, which costs about ten Canadian dollars for adults, is good. It is worth visiting because you can take a selfie in front of the fantastic venue of 15,000 lavender plants, the icon is the Tanaka wooden chair and piano. There are many different varieties, once you enter the garden fresh fragrance is incomparable, very relax. Be sure to eat lavender ice cream and buy dried lavender and other small gifts from the garden, no less than France.

Eaton Mall Like most urban shopping malls outside the UK, this is a large shopping mall with many shops, and the design is exquisite. The master is responsible for polishing the roof structure of the center. It's actually in the center of Toronto. If the weather is wet or cold, it's a place worth spending a few hours shopping. Downstairs is packed with a variety of fast food and restaurants, and you can eat almost any kind of food from every country.

Toronto’s China Town is one of the biggest communities of its kind in North America. Toronto has the highest number of Chinese in all of Canada. So it’s not surprising that the city is actually home to 5 separate China Towns. The main one is located in the city center of Toronto. Spreading westwards along Dundas Street to Spadina, as far as Nathan Phillips Square. There are many excellent Chinese restaurants, shops and specialty stores in Toronto. There are also many street vendors and craftsmen selling their wares, especially at weekends. If you plan to visit the city and want to spend some time in this wonderful area filled with luxury restaurants, fun shops and markets, know that Toronto’s China Town area has many clean, comfortable and pretty hotels. Restaurants and shops practically spill out onto the streets, and most of the passersby are Chinese, so you’ll feel yourself at home here. The best thing about visiting this part of the city is the food. There are tons of restaurants in the area and very few of them offer North American style nouvelle cuisine; instead you can find authentic Chinese cuisine here. Szechuan, Hunan, Cantonese or even Northern style cuisine can be found. Of course, the food prices here are very reasonable. For those of you visiting Toronto but whose stomach yearns for home, you can allay your fears.

Niagara Falls, renowned worldwide, offers a particularly majestic view from the Canadian side. The thunderous sound of the cascading water and the mist become increasingly overwhelming as you approach closer. For an exhilarating experience, you can take the 'Hornblower' cruise to get right beneath the falls. At night, the illuminated falls create a magical atmosphere, showcasing different charms depending on the season. This is a must-visit destination where you can simultaneously admire the power and beauty of nature.

Today, I ordered a takeaway of crayfish in Toronto, and the whole process was full of anticipation and surprise! This crayfish is seasoned with garlic and spicy, which makes my taste buds can't wait. 📦😋 When I opened the takeaway box, the bright red crayfish lay in the rich sauce, and the aroma instantly filled the whole room! Each crayfish exudes an attractive luster, making people want to feast on it immediately. 🍽️ The first bite I took, the tender meat blended with the taste of garlic, and instantly exploded in my mouth! The garlic aroma accompanied by the sweetness of the crayfish made me feel an irresistible deliciousness. 🥰 The spicy part is even more exciting, and the spicy sauce makes every bite full of layers. The spicy taste dances on the tip of the tongue, making people unable to stop, it's so addictive! 🌶️🔥 It is worth mentioning that the crispy cucumber and tofu at the bottom also absorb the essence of the fragrant sauce, and the fresh taste forms a perfect match with the crayfish. The crispy cucumber made the whole meal more balanced, and the tofu was so smooth that I couldn't help but eat it one bite after another. 🥒🍲 This takeaway crayfish not only satisfied my taste buds, but also allowed me to experience the fun of enjoying food at home. Every bite is a taste of happiness, which makes me fall in love with this classic Chinese crayfish even more! 🌟🥳 I believe that whether in a restaurant or at home, this crayfish can bring unlimited deliciousness and happiness. Looking forward to another such food trip next time!

At the Haliburton Forest Wolf Centre, you can observe wild gray wolves up close! 💦【Niagara Falls: A World Natural Wonder】 🌟【Recommended Experiences】 🚁Highly recommend Niagara Helicopters for a breathtaking aerial view of the falls. This once-in-a-lifetime experience combines majestic scenery with thrilling adventure. From above, you'll see the river connecting Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, with water cascading from the higher lake into a deep, narrow valley—like bold brushstrokes in calligraphy. This river marks the actual border between the U.S. and Canada. Drones aren't allowed here, so helicopters are your only chance for aerial footage! ✈️For more adrenaline, try the Whirlpool Jet Boats—small vessels with three jet engines that plunge into raging whirlpools and power out with sheer force. You'll get soaked (wear a swimsuit!), feeling like a wall of water is crashing onto you—so intense it could even bend your GoPro mount. 🚢For a close-up encounter with the "Thunderous Waters," take a Niagara City Cruises boat to the base of the falls.

Despite its tropical appearance from above, it's entirely freshwater. Explore shipwrecks ranging from wooden sailing vessels to steamships. If diving isn't your style, Brockville’s Underwater Sculpture Park features dozens of submerged sculptures to discover.

Recently, I went to a seafood market to try the famous local oysters. There are different types of oysters in the market, each with its own unique flavor, which is really dazzling. First, I saw a booth full of fresh oysters, complete with some seaweed. The stall owner enthusiastically introduced each oyster, saying that they came from different places and tasted differently. I tried an oyster called "Shugoku", which was smooth and tender and full of seafood. Next, I tried the "Sunberry" oysters. This oyster is slightly sweeter than the "Shugoku" and has a light fruity aroma that adds more layers on the palate. The stall owner said that "Sunberry" is a local favorite and was not disappointed. I also saw a booth called “Phat Basterds,” which I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. Their oysters are particularly big and full of flesh. It's really addictive to take a bite. Served with some lemon juice, the flavor is more prominent. The atmosphere inside the market is also lively, with the smell of seafood all around and the laughter of other diners making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I find that both oysters and other seafood remain at their freshest. Finally, I tried an oyster called “Mamacita Mega Jumbo,” which was so super huge that you almost had to hold it with both hands. Very rich in flavor and surprisingly plump. After eating, there is no greasy feeling at all, but rather refreshing.

Bluff Park in Scarborough, Canada is literally a place on a "cliff" It's popular because the beautiful cliffs and Lake Ontario meet, so it's great for taking pictures and it's a semi-touristy place where many people come to take a walk! If you don't have a car, I recommend taking the TTC and then taking an Uber 😄 If you want to take pictures in front of the beautiful cliffs, there's a dangerous wooden bridge that you have to cross carefully so that you don't fall into the waterㅎㅎ! #Overseas travel #Canada

LEF Restaurant This is a recommended restaurant on Lonely Planet. It uses a standard European style three-way style. The appetizer is somewhat like a dish in our northeast, San Si Bao Bean, sweet and sour. Personal favorite is the grilled octopus feet, not only the fire is just right, but also very tasteful, the shape is also very chic, it is a dish, more like a fine art. The rest of the dishes are also more in line with the Chinese taste. Overall, the Western food I have eaten is , at least not just steak, fish, chicken breast, lamb.

Nathan Philips square/city hall Toronto's nightlife is concentrated in bars, and one of them is special, not far from the Shangri-La Hotel in Toronto. This house is not only a bar, but also a collection of food from around the world. No matter which country you want to eat, there is everything here. and the bartenders here are also very good. At that time, I ordered a favorite Margaret of this life. The blue cocktail was shaken in the cup. The prints on the lamp were a bit confusing. As for the taste and The taste is the top three in my drink.

The Toronto TV Tower Revolving Restaurant is located in the 553.33-meter-tall tower and is the tallest revolving restaurant in Toronto. The restaurant's overall layout is elegant, stylish, warm, and romantic. It is an excellent place for couples to meet, family, and friends. With arc-shaped floor-to-ceiling windows, you can take in the sights of the Toronto city skyline, and many of Toronto's landmarks are at your feet. When you look down at the bustling downtown Toronto, you will be thrilled by the delicious food. It is now the fifth-highest self-supporting building in the world. The tower is considered a landmark in Toronto and attracts more than 2 million visitors a year. The TV tower is 553.3 meters high. It was built in 1976 and had 147 floors. The disc-shaped observation platform looks like a flying saucer and stands next to the harbor in Toronto. After nearly one hour of turning, it takes 1.5 hours to eat. The speed of rotation is not fast, but try to look far away, otherwise, stare at the iron pillar outside the window, and then dizzy. Also, remember to make your number of zones.

When I saw this attraction in the Raiders, I was deeply attracted. The museum has always been an essential part of the trip. The museums that have been transferred to cities encountered this kind of footwear theme for the first time. Its niche is new. The museum's more than 10,000 pairs of shoes, all collected by Mrs. Sonia Bata for half a century, are also her collection. The exhibits are displayed in different theme areas. Shoes of historical celebrities to classic with history and the times to the old shoes of the classical are the elements of the country. One of the earliest pairs was excavated from the Egyptian tombs more than 4,000 years ago. There are also shoes worn by Elvis Presley, Madonna and Lady Gaga. The collection is vibrant.
