But it has a myriad of wonderful scenery. ★Emerald Lake is as crystal clear as emerald. At this moment, I am mesmerized by the beautiful scenery. Every winter, the mountaintops are covered with snow, which is reflected in the lake like a natural and invincible beauty. This mini wooden house has all kinds of souvenirs.
You can pick a few to give to your relatives and friends. If you feel that just looking at the scenery is not enough, you can rent a small wooden boat and leisurely wander in the Emerald Lake and embrace it! The lake is so clear that you can see the bottom, and the color and luster are like sapphire. There are not many tourists on the beautiful lakeside at this time, and the temperature is about 10 degrees.
You can enjoy the unimaginable and cool mountain forest lake scenery. I originally wanted to rent a small wooden boat to cruise the lake, but due to lack of time, I could only enjoy the boat fixed on the lakeside! [Jasper National Park] Jasper National Park is located in the northernmost part of the Rocky Mountains in Alberta and is the largest mountain national park in Canada.
The Columbia Icefield is the most spectacular. Take a glacier snowmobile to visit the remains of the glacier that humans can personally visit. The spectacular scenery is amazing! ★The temperature here in the Columbia Icefield is already below 0 degrees, and the beautiful glaciers have been formed through repeated erosion. All tourist buses can only stop at this green mountain resort.
Then we took a special transportation to the glacier scenic spot. In the distance was the Athapascal Glacier. We couldn't wait to set off! This huge thing was the first time Yunluo saw it! It was called "Giant Wheel Icefield Snowmobile". As the name suggests, the Giant Wheel Icefield Snowmobile is a car with large tires. The giant tires are almost as tall as a person.
Specially designed, it is a means of transportation exclusively for use on glaciers, slowly driving on the vast Columbia Icefield. Take a special scenic bus from the Green Lodge to the entrance of the glacier scenic area for about 5 minutes to arrive at Jasper National Park in the Canadian Rockies. The giant wheel glacier snowmobile tour can be said to be one of the most exciting activities!
On the endless ice field, humans are as small as ants. We finally stepped onto the so-called glacier. We felt very cold as soon as we got off the car. The tour guide said that we could only stay on the glacier for no more than 5 minutes, otherwise our ears would fall off. Yunluo didn't believe it at the time and walked forward with his friends about 20 meters away from the snowmobile, walking on the 300-meter-thick Athapascal Glacier.
Seeing this amazing scene, the huge glacier was like a river frozen in an instant. Because of being too excited, when Yunluo came to his senses, he felt colder and colder, so he hurried back. The temperature was about 10-15 degrees below zero at that time. ilovecanada already has a history of snowmobiles. The rear wheels are very similar to the wheels of modern chariots, but the front wheels are very simple.
It is very different from the large snowmobiles nowadays! When we returned to the visitor center, we met another elk and gave it a big hug. There are also many goods and souvenirs in the visitor center, but they are all made in China. I just looked at them but didn’t buy them haha! Warm reminder: Although it is an "ice" field, you must wear sunscreen to prevent your fair skin from getting tanned.
Also, be sure to wear sunglasses to protect your eyes. (Seasonal limit: Columbia Icefield and Icefield Snowmobile, open from mid-April to October each year depending on the weather) ★ Banff Town After feasting your eyes on the beautiful mountain and river scenery along the way, you finally arrived at the famous Banff Town.
It is said that Banff is the earliest town established in the Canadian Rockies. It is surrounded by mountains, and the majestic Cascade Mountain in the north is the most famous landmark of Banff. It was almost 7 o'clock when Yunluo and Anchu arrived at Banff. The afterglow of the setting sun just illuminated the street, embellishing the originally small Banff town like gold.
Behind the town is the landmark Cascade Mountain. The original meaning of "Cascade" is waterfall. In winter, the top of the mountain is covered with white snow. In summer, when the snow melts, only the bare face is left, and the traces of glacier cutting can be seen. The main road of Banff Town is Banff Avenue, which is about 300 meters long and there are restaurants everywhere on the street.
Museums and hotels are very lively. Walking on the exotic streets adds a bit of romance. Yunluo and An Chuyu also had dinner here in the evening. This building, which is particularly prominent under the setting sun, is the tourist information center. There are not many pedestrians on the street, only tourists in groups of three or two, visiting the shops here.
The only church in Banff town is Grizzly Town Breakfast: In the hotel Lunch: Alberta steak dinner Dinner: American fast food Accommodation: Grizzly Town Sandman [Banff National Park] was established in 1885 and is located in the southwest corner of Alberta. It is the first national park in Canada and has the most beautiful Lake Louise.
Moraine Lake, known as the gem of the Rocky Mountains, and Bow Falls, the famous filming location of the movie "The River Flows East", are all hidden deep in Banff National Park.★ Sulphur Mountain Cable Car After breakfast, drive for about 40 minutes to arrive at the Sulphur Mountain Cable Car Station. The unique Sulphur Mountain Cable Car allows you to climb to the "Sulphur Mountain Summit" at an altitude of 2,450 meters. As the cable car climbs higher and higher.
From the window, you can have a bird's eye view of the beauty of Banff. This scene is unforgettable and still lingers in my mind. From the observation deck, you can see the breathtaking scenery, including the town of Banff, the Bow River Valley, waterfalls, and the beautiful scenery surrounded by mountains. You can admire the incredible nature and the earth is so great and everlasting.
How blessed it is to grow up on this planet! My heart is filled with gratitude and gratitude... I stood on the top of the mountain and looked at the mountains. I was in a daze for a long time because I hadn't really enjoyed such an unimaginable and invincible beauty for a long time. It was not until my friend told me to go down the mountain that I came back to my senses.
Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel was photographed from the top of the mountain with a telephoto lens. The century-old castle-like Banff Springs Castle Hotel is surrounded by mountains and looks so small! Take a photo as a souvenir when you go down the mountain, because you don’t know how long it will take to see you again! Goodbye Banff in the clouds…
Bow River Falls This is the Bow River Falls where Marilyn Monroe filmed "The River Flows East". The river rushes down, which is very spectacular. I think Marilyn Monroe was also deeply attracted by the beautiful scenery here. ★ Cape Surprise Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel Banff Springs Castle Hotel, a century-old castle building, has a chocolate cake-like castle appearance and is the most famous landmark in the area.
The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel is a castle hotel with a history of more than 100 years. It is nestled between the majestic Rocky Mountains, and at the foot of the mountains lies the clear Bow River! The Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel was founded in 1888 by the then general manager of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company.
Founded by William Van Horn, one of the founders of Canada's Banff National Park, the park has attracted numerous heads of state, princes, movie stars and other high-class people from all over the world, including George VI, Queen Elizabeth, Helen Keller, Marilyn Monroe, etc. Modern celebrities have visited the park innumerable ways.
It is said that this castle hotel with a century of history and civilization still has many magical stories. Tips: One night stay is about CAD495★Lake Louise is surrounded by dense forests, and Lake Louise is as clear as a pearl, crystal clear. The entire pearl is protected by Mount Victoria.
The mountains and waters complement each other, forming an extraordinary landscape photo. It is said that this is also the most popular photography location in North America. Let me take a photo of Yunluo. Lake Louise originates from Victoria Glacier, and the lake water is turquoise and clear. From a bird's eye view, it looks like an emerald embedded in the Rocky Mountains.
It was already October, the autumn season, and the lake was extremely cold. Yunluo thought it would be a great pleasure to go boating on it. Although he didn't go in the water, he still found a boat to serve as a guide. It is said that the lake will freeze from November to June of the following year. The lake is covered with white snow, which blends perfectly with the ice and snow of Mount Victoria, turning it into a beautiful ice skating rink.
I heard that you can often see wild animals foraging by the lake. It's a pity that I didn't see them at that time. If I lived here for a long time, I would have many surprises! This is the time when these flowers are in full bloom. I don't know what they are called, but they are very beautiful! Enjoying a leisurely afternoon without being disturbed, my mood really relaxed!
At this moment, I don't know whether the lake is in the mountains or the people are in the painting. I thought I was sleepwalking! After seeing so many lakes in the Rocky Mountains, have you discovered that the color of the water is pure sky blue, like Pantone color 2925c in color science, haha! The Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise Hotel (the fairmont chateau lake louise hotel).
In addition to the chocolate-like hot spring castle hotel, Banff National Park also has the Lake Louise Castle Hotel, commonly known as the Banff Twin Castles. Unfortunately, Yunluo has no chance to visit these two castles, so this group will not stay here.
Next time I have the chance, I must go on a self-guided tour and enjoy it! The lake changes with the color of the sky! In the morning, we drove to Summerhill Winery. Summerhill, located in the Okanagan Valley at the same latitude as the famous wine towns of France and Germany, has a warm climate, plenty of sunshine, and excellent water quality. It is known as the fruit basket of British Columbia.
The largest city here is "Colonna". On the slopes around the lake, you can see almost all lush green vineyards. "Colonna" is the hometown of Canadian ice wine. It is said that if you want to know the origin and production process of ice wine, you must go to the Okanagan Valley, because as many as 80% of British Columbia's wineries are concentrated here.
We drove past the Summerhill Winery that day. The waiter explained carefully and offered ice wine tasting to each guest. The taste was really good! Here you can see the winemaking process and the magnificent wine cellar, and taste craft white wine, red wine and the world's most famous icewine. Yunluo, who loves red wine, also bought a bottle.
Gift to a friend. There is also a Western restaurant here. Although Yunluo and An Chuyu did not eat here, they just posed to show their visit! However, you can imagine how romantic it is to eat here with wine and food! When we left, we found a monument that read, "Yunluo and An Chuyu wish for world peace."
The scenery is even more perfect with the addition of "human beings and nature coexisting"! ★ Okanagan Lake Continue driving to the last stop of this trip, the shore of Okanagan Lake. This lake is more than 200 kilometers long and the depth of the water is unfathomable. It is said that there are water monsters. The Canadian government has even offered a reward of 2 million Canadian dollars for the real photo of the water monster.
Is that black thing a water monster? Haha, of course not. It's just a fake one, created by humans. Haha, we caught you, go get your prize. There are a bunch of villas built by the lake, with shops, restaurants and casinos! Lazy time always passes fast, stretch yourself and pose for victory.
The lakeside is full of yachts and sailboats. Whether it is residents or tourists, they all look like they are on vacation, leisurely and comfortable! At this time, walk slowly along the lakeside and feel the last moments of super romance. Sydney can be said to be a perfect tourist city, where there is almost everything that tourists want to see.
Those landmark buildings that I have seen countless times on TV and in magazines - such as the Sydney Opera House, high-end shopping malls, delicious food from all over the world, art galleries and museums, rich nightlife, plenty of sunshine, beautiful harbors... Yunlu prefers foreign rural areas. I thought Sydney would be just like many big cities, and one or two days would be enough for fun.
But after a week, I found that there were many interesting projects. If I had to compare, Yunluo felt that Sydney and Vancouver were somewhat similar, because after staying for a few days, you can slowly understand why so many people are willing to immigrate here, whether it is the climate, environment, food or the friendliness of the locals, it makes people feel comfortable.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
"It's up to the person to decide how to spend their money and money" is Yunluo's deepest feeling after returning from Sydney. From the perspective of tourists, the rich have a luxurious way of enjoying themselves. The poor also have a happy and fulfilling satisfaction. The endless sunshine and white clouds for more than 300 days a year, the beautiful beaches and waves, are enough to make tourists nostalgic.
The highlight of this Sydney trip is the annual Sydney Music and Light Festival "VividSydney". This festival, which has a history of 6 years, has attracted more and more foreign tourists to visit at this time. This year's Music and Light Festival lasted from to, continuing the tradition of "Colorful Sydney" and bringing the three elements of light, music and creativity to the extreme.
The harbor city has transformed into a colorful city that never sleeps. In order to experience the charm of the light show up close, Yunluo and An Chuyu took a water taxi to the port where the sailboat was docked in the afternoon. Then they took the sailboat to start a cool sea cruise. Considering the inconvenience of moving on the sailboat, Yunluo only took out his Canon telephoto DCSX50.
It is the best to take pictures of the sunset. The speed of the sea taxi is really fast. Yunluo and An Chuyu followed the captain to gallop in the vast blue ocean. The sunset dyed the houses on the opposite bank golden. The autumn in the southern hemisphere is warm and gentle. Yunluo thought, there is really no better way to watch Sydney Bay than on the deck of a luxury yacht.
The captain hoisted the sails and took Yunluo and An Chuyu to the Sydney Opera House and the Harbour Bridge, the city's most proud. Use a telephoto lens to take a photo of the golden Sydney Opera House and feel the comfort of the sea breeze. This is not enough. When Yunluo and An Chuyu were immersed in the beautiful scenery in front of them and kept pressing the shutter.
A speedboat had already flown to the captain's side, serving everyone a large shallow plate of seafood from Nick's Bar & Grill. In this scene, Yunluo just wanted to say that the life of a millionaire might not be so happy! Being able to enjoy a sumptuous seafood feast accompanied by such a beautiful view, this Sydney will be waiting for Yunluo to write his memoirs when he is old.
It will definitely occupy the top 10 position. Bring the scenery on the postcard home. Pictures of Australian attractions In fact, Yunluo and An Chuyu have hidden more delicious food in the cabin:) Yellow, red and then purple, the sky gradually darkened. The lights on the cruise ship also lit up. This year, Sydney Harbour joined the light show for the first time.
The barges and ships are all equipped with LED lights, and every time the ship passes through the beautiful harbor, the satellite navigation computer will control the wonderful changes in the color of the hull lights. When six o'clock comes, the "Colorful Sydney" mode is officially opened. This most unique light creative feast in the world has ignited the enthusiasm of the entire city.
Sydney has become a fun-filled little world of colorful lights. When we returned to the port from the ship, it was hard to move on shore. To describe how lively this scene is, think of Yunluo and An Chuyu, when every household went to the streets to watch the lanterns during the Spring Festival. Through collaboration with local and international artists in Sydney.
The facades of the Customs House and the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) sandstone building were once again bathed in light, and the images kept changing with the rhythm of the music. Everyone who passed by would stop to watch until they had seen the entire performance before looking for the next highlight. Yunluo and An Chuyu also sat on the lawn like the locals.
Film it once and watch it again. I remember the first time I saw this kind of sound, light and electricity performance was in the Rouen Cathedral in France. When Monet's paintings were projected on the main body of the church, the shock and beauty made people praise and marvel infinitely. In comparison, Sydney's Music and Light Festival is more modern and dynamic.
It makes people feel that this is a city full of vitality and youth, and the whole person is excited. Especially the creative interactive games, which allow every tourist to participate and experience more fun. Of course, the "Light Up the Sails" event at the Sydney Opera House is one of the most popular highlights of the festival.
The amazing changes of 3D projection, every color is not to be missed. Even though it is on the other side, the telephoto shooting effect of SX50 at night is also very clear. The colorful music and light festival brings a more novel, spectacular and beautiful experience to every tourist, and the whole city has become a happy city that never sleeps.
Yunluo said that the impression this city gave Yunluo was "rich or frugal, it's up to the person". So this article will write about the most impressive and luxurious lunch that Yunluo had during this trip. It's not hard to guess from the title, because Yunluo and An Chuyu went to eat by seaplane, isn't it luxurious!
Sydney people who know how to enjoy life will choose to "fly-dine" on holidays or special days, taking a seaplane to enjoy the beautiful scenery and food, eating slowly for three or four hours, and spending a wonderful and relaxing time. Sydneyseaplanes has been operating this tourism business since 2005. (To be continued...)
