University of Toronto

4.6/5
574 reviews
University of Toronto was founded in 1827 and is a well-known public research university in Canada. The St. George campus is the main campus and has no walls, blending into downtown Toronto's neighborhoods. The campus features century-old Romanesque revival buildings alongside modernist new structures, and the contrast between old and new creates a unique charm. Entering the campus and crossing the open green leads to the main building of University College, a mid-19th-century Romanesque revival structure that is one of the campus's iconic views, with its heavy stone exterior and arched doors and windows conveying the solemn dignity of a classical university. On the side of the lawn, Hart House is another classic building, housing reading rooms, galleries, and student activity spaces, and its Gothic revival style is worth a close look. The campus is dotted with sculptures and green spaces, and it is common to see students in small groups discussing or relaxing on the lawn, creating a strong academic atmosphere. Strolling across the campus along King's College Circle to the Hart House lawn offers a concentrated way to appreciate the campus scenery shaped by generations of interwoven architecture.Canada · Toronto

Yonge Street is a major north-south artery in Ontario, Canada, starting from the shores of Lake Ontario in the south, running through downtown Toronto and North York, and extending into the York Regional Municipality, spanning dozens of km. It also serves as the baseline for dividing Toronto into east and west. The street was built in the late 18th century, connecting the bustling areas along its route. In its early years, the street was connected to Highway 11, with a total length of nearly 1,900 km, and it once held a Guinness World Record for this length. Later, the relevant sections were re-designated, and the record was revoked. This anecdote remains a topic of conversation among locals to this day.Canada · Richmond Hill

Chinatownis located in downtown Toronto, Ontario, with its core area at the intersection of Spadina Avenue and Dundas Street West. It is one of the oldest and most well-known Chinese communities in the area. It began to take shape in the late 19th century, when early Chinese immigrants opened laundries, restaurants, and grocery stores here. As the city developed, the community moved to its current location and continued to expand. Strolling through the streets, you will see bilingual Chinese and English street signs and shop signs. Chinese supermarkets, roast meat restaurants, dim sum teahouses, Chinese bakeries, and produce stalls are packed side by side. Streetcars clang as they pass through the center of the street, and the sounds of Cantonese can be heard all around, creating a vibrant, bustling atmosphere.Canada · Toronto

Bluffers Parkis one of the more popular waterfront parks in eastern Toronto and a great place to enjoy the Scarborough Bluffs. On one side is the blue lake where water meets the sky, and on the other are continuous cliffs dozens of meters high. The scenery is rich and layered, and it is often considered the area in the Scarborough Bluffs scenic belt that is easiest to access the lakeshore. The park features a beach, trails, picnic areas, barbecue grills, and a parking lot. In summer, it is suitable for swimming, walking, sunbathing, and relaxing by the lake; in fall, the trees along the shore change color, which is perfect for photography; winter is quieter, and you can enjoy the expansive lake views along the shore. There are also marinas and sailing clubs near the park, where those interested in water sports can learn about related activities.Canada · Toronto

Toronto City Hallopened in 1965 and was designed by Finnish architect Viljo Revell. The complex consists of two curved towers of different heights surrounding a central, saucer-shaped council chamber. Viewed from above, it resembles an open eye, earning it the nickname "The Eye of Heaven." Its avant-garde design has made it a frequent screen presence, and the "Resident Evil" film series has filmed scenes here. Toronto City Hallis fronted by Nathan Phillips Square, an urban living room shared by residents and visitors alike: the central pool serves as a fountain in the summer and transforms into an outdoor ice rink in the winter. The square features the bronze sculpture "The Archer" by British sculptor Henry Moore, and the nearby 3D "TORONTO" sign lights up at night, making it a popular backdrop for photos. Whether you're admiring the architecture by day, enjoying the lights in the evening, or ice skating in the winter, you can easily soak up the urban atmosphere of Toronto here.Canada · Toronto

CF Toronto Eaton Centre

4.3/5
5 reviews
CF Toronto Eaton Centreis located along Yonge Street in downtown Toronto and is a multi-level complex that integrates shopping, office, and hotel facilities. Its name is derived from the historic Eaton's department store that got its start here: in the 19th century, founder Timothy Eaton started with a small shop in this neighborhood and built it into a nationally renowned department store chain. Today, it is both a popular shopping landmark for tourists and a daily thoroughfare for local commuters. The main part of the mall is an indoor galleria that runs parallel to Yonge Street and spans multiple levels, topped by a sweeping, arched glass roof that allows natural light to stream into the atrium. Suspended above the galleria is the installation "Flight Stop" by Canadian artist Michael Snow, featuring dozens of Canada geese with wings spread, frozen in a moment of flight. Hanging there since the late 1970s, it is a signature view of the center and a frequent subject for tourists' photos.Canada · Toronto

Unionville history of settlement here dates back to the late 18th century; by the mid-19th century, a community had formed around the "Union Mill"—from which the village takes its name.

Many of these structures are officially listed as heritage sites, with facades and porches that retain their original character—a unique sight amidst the high-rises of the Greater Toronto Area. The village also boasts historic workshops and churches that reflect the atmosphere of early settlement life.

Recommended Day to Visit: SATURDAY On weekends there are flea market beside the main building. pretty cool to check it out for handcrafted goods. The market itself has lots of awesome goodies like sweets and snacks to taste from. Very local and very friendly store keepers. DO BRING CASH!! Not all stores accept card payments.

The University of Toronto building was a drab gray, covered in vines, some windows were dark and gaping. Students lay sprawled on the lawn, sunbathing, their backpacks tossed aside. Passing through the archway, the lettering on the stone wall was worn smooth to the touch. A squirrel darted out of a trash can, snatching a potato chip. A guitarist sat on the steps of the library, playing a languid tune. Turning out, across the street was the Chinatown sign, bright red, a stark contrast.

This street is very attractive to me. It is indeed a tourist destination, with many restaurants and bars, as well as many cafes and shopping stores. The street is usually crowded. One of the biggest tourist attractions on this street is a large indoor shopping mall, the Eaton Centre. The street seems to be a center of attraction and activity in itself.

I am here# Spadina Avenue is a main north-south street in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It starts from the Gardiner Expressway in the south and ends at Bullock Street in the north. The Spadina Avenue we are talking about today refers to the section of Spadina between Queen Street West and Bullock Street, not far from City Hall. In a broad sense, it is Chinatown The signs in Chinatown are written in both Chinese and English (as shown in the picture), and the government has also set a precedent by setting up a road sign with "Chinatown" written in Chinese on the Gardiner Expressway Today, Toronto's Chinatown is one of the most famous Chinatowns in North America. There are more than 400,000 Chinese people nearby. It's amazing that my great China has its people all over the world

There is a cliff park next to Lake Ontario in Toronto. It is also a very tall place with beautiful natural scenery and a waterfall with a large drop. There are many small animals in the park, making it a very suitable place for entertainment.

It is mid-September now and there are no more flowers, but it is still very comfortable, with green everywhere, fresh air, blue sky and white clouds. The park is not big, but it is in the city center, so it is nice to take a walk 👍.

The old and new town halls are next to each other, which is very suitable for tourists to check in. Hahahaha. There is a large square in front of the new town hall. Because I went there in winter, the square was frozen. You can bring ice skates to skate. Friends who don’t have them can borrow them nearby.

It is a small community with European-style buildings in Markham. There is a festival celebration every June. There is also a trail near the lake where you can enjoy ice cream while walking. It is very leisurely!
