Thousand Islands

Thousand Islandslie at the outlet where Lake Ontario flows into the St Lawrence River, stretching dozens of km downstream from the Kingston area, with over 1,800 islands of various sizes scattered across the river, belonging to both Canada and the United States. The islands vary greatly in size: the smallest are just a few rocks that remain above water year-round, and some are even small enough to hold only a single house, while the larger ones feature villages and farmland; there is also an interesting local standard for what constitutes an island—a piece of land that remains above water year-round and can support 2 trees counts as an "island." These islands are scattered across the St Lawrence River like stars, resembling a fairytale wonderland.Leeds and Grenville United Counties · 0m from Thousand Islands

Kingston City Hall, completed in 1844, is a neoclassical limestone building located in the heart of downtown on the shores of Lake Ontario, occupying an entire city block. Kingston is known as the "Limestone City," and this historic building, with its columned portico and domed clock tower, is one of the city's landmarks. When construction began, Kingston was the capital of the Province of Canada, and its grand scale and imposing style were built to match its status as the capital. It is not only the seat of Kingston's municipal government but also a venue for various public events and exhibitions.Kingston · 40.6 km from Thousand Islands

The Thousand Islands consist of over a thousand islands, with well-preserved natural ecology. The seawater has excellent visibility, allowing for underwater reef views during boat tours. The air is rich in negative ions, making it very comfortable and much fresher than the city.

Kingston is a two-hour drive from Ottawa. I was tired of visiting Montreal and taking photos of Notre Dame Cathedral. It became necessary to choose another city to check in. Kingston, which has Queen's University, a well-known Canadian university, naturally became the first choice.

Kingston used to be the capital of Canada. We stayed here for one night. The town is small but clean and tidy. It is built along Lake Ontario, so the scenery is also beautiful. The town hall in the center of the town is also relatively low-key. Compared with the town halls of many European and American metropolises, this building is much less luxurious. Opposite the town hall is a fountain and a locomotive model, and opposite is the shore of Lake Ontario.

First time here, our guide was great, unfortunately we forgot his name. He answered all our questions and didn't rush us. At the end of the tour you can walk around on your own and explore.

I drove there from Toronto, it was a little late and the attraction was closed. There is a visitor center at the attraction, and you can park across the road. It is under renovation now, and the appearance is not very clear. The mature apple tree in the yard is the most eye-catching.
