    The first floor exhibition area, including the China exhibition area, is currently free. If you only have time and want to see the China area, you don't need to buy a ticket. However, for some reason, no one checks tickets when you go to other floors. The content is excellent and worth visiting.

In 1995, it was recognized as one of the Seven Wonders of the World by the American Society of Civil Engineers and is a member of the World Federation of Great Towers. The "CN" in its original name was an abbreviation for "Canadian National" and is now an abbreviation for "Canada's National," though neither name is commonly used. Standing 553.33 meters tall, it is the fifth tallest free-standing structure in the world. Considered a landmark in Toronto, it attracts over two million visitors annually. Since its completion in 1976, it has been consistently listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the tallest building until surpassed by the Burj Khalifa (Dubai). However, technically, the CN Tower is not a building, but a non-structural structure. The CN Tower is a landmark building in Toronto and the second-tallest telecommunications tower in the world. It boasts nearly 1,700 metal steps and stands roughly as tall as a hundred-story building. In 1995, the CN Tower was recognized by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

    In late summer and early autumn, Niagara Falls is at its peak flow, with the rushing waters and newly colored autumn leaves creating a breathtaking scene. The most worthwhile viewpoint is the Horseshoe Falls observation deck on the Canadian side – directly facing the powerful spray of the falls, where you can often witness the spectacular sight of a double rainbow spanning the azure waters. Descending the falls path to the Maid of the Mist boarding point, you can experience the ultimate feeling of the falls' power by walking through the cool mist amidst the thunderous roar of the water. If time permits, climbing the Skylon Tower for a panoramic view and watching the sunset gild the rushing waters is an even more awe-inspiring and unforgettable experience.

    The moment you step into Casa Loma, you're transported back to the days of the aristocracy of the early 20th century. Climbing the spiral staircase to the tower is a bit leg-wrenching, but it's well worth it—the rooftop view offers breathtaking views of the Toronto skyline. The underground wine cellars and secret passageways are truly adventurous, and I can't help but imagine the banquets the owners once hosted there. However, some of the furniture in the rooms looks a bit worn, and the signage is a bit blurry. My favorite part is the garden, where the roses are in full bloom in the summer, and it's so relaxing to sit on a bench and just relax. If you enjoy historical architecture and photography, this is a great place to take photos!

    The moment I stepped into St. Lawrence Market, I was immediately greeted by a riot of aromas—the charred aroma of freshly baked bread, the savory aroma of seafood stalls, and the tangy sweetness of honey stalls! I waited in line for ten minutes at the Peameal Bacon stall, and it lived up to its reputation: the crispy, tender Canadian bacon sandwich was bursting with juice. In the antique section on the second floor, I found a vintage maple leaf brooch, and the owner enthusiastically explained its origins. The oyster stall is open and ready to eat, and a squeeze of lemon juice down your throat is simply breathtakingly delicious! Even on weekends, the crowds are so intense that I nearly knocked over the shelves while trying the cheese stall. The vibrant atmosphere of the city is so vibrant here that it's best to come hungry.

    The moment I entered the Art Gallery of Ontario, I was captivated by the grand lobby's spiral staircase—the modern structure and classical exhibits so seamlessly blended! The exhibition of Canadian Indigenous art on the second floor held my attention the longest. The works, which used traditional symbols to speak to contemporary issues, were incredibly powerful. Occasionally, stumbling upon a Rodin sculpture or a Monet water lily, I felt like finding an Easter egg in a maze. The contemporary exhibition hall on the top floor was a bit difficult to navigate, but the twisted metal fixtures and whimsical fluorescent lighting made for photo ops. My only regret was that the lattes in the cafe were a bit pricey, but sitting by the high windows and gazing out at the streetscape was well worth it. It's a perfect place to spend a leisurely afternoon.

    The University of Toronto is in a good location, adjacent to the bustling city center, and life is extremely convenient; the buildings on campus are antique and quaint. Of course, the most important thing is that it is still a top university in the world [like it]

    Toronto Zoo is Canada’s largest zoo, with a vast area of more than 460 species and more than 5,000 animals. Animals from all over the world, such as polar bears, polar wolves, lions, tigers, pandas, giraffes, etc., make people feel like they are in the animal world. Giraffes and lions in the African exhibition area are magnificent; kangaroos and koalas in the Australia exhibition area are coveted.

    Toronto's Chinatown has no eye-catching archways or clear landmarks, and most of the shops are not very large, which makes it look a bit run-down. Toronto has a large Chinese population, and the new mayor is also Chinese, so Chinatown should be renovated and revitalized!
