The CN Tower is really impressive. Take the high-speed elevator to the top and stand on the glass-floored observation deck, overlooking the Toronto city scenery and Lake Ontario. The view is breathtaking. The revolving restaurant is also a great experience, enjoying the panoramic view while enjoying the food. It is worthy of being a Toronto landmark and is worth a visit.
I had the most amazing time visiting Toronto last December. I would definitely recommend this destination for your next travel adventure.

As soon as I entered the lobby, I saw Chinese treasures. The cultural relics on display were much better than those in China. It was a pity that they did not return to the embrace of the motherland. I was also glad that if they had not been looted by the invaders at that time, would they have been destroyed? I felt very conflicted. In addition to the Chinese national treasures on the first floor, the second floor is a bit like a natural history museum, with crystal tubes, which are very beautiful. The interior of the museum is also very suitable for taking pictures, very beautiful.
The museum is very convenient to access. You can take the subway directly to the museum. The exhibits are very rich, especially Chinese cultural relics. The entire route is arranged reasonably and the ticket price is not very expensive. It is worth a visit.

Niagara Falls is located on the border of the United States and Canada, on the Niagara River, and can be seen from both countries. If you look at the falls from the United States, the other side of the river is the bustling Canadian city of Toronto, with modern buildings such as high-rise buildings and towers. The south bank of the river in the United States is relatively more natural, without high-rise buildings. A Niagara State Park has been built around the falls. It is free and has green trees and carpeted lawns. There are bridges and trestle trails in the park. You can see the wide Niagara River and the rapid water flow. After arriving at the park, parking in the surrounding area is charged. It is recommended to park in the park's internal parking lot, which charges $10-15 and is closer to the viewing point. Go to the visitor center to get a free map or take a photo of the roadside sign. Because there is more than one waterfall, it is recommended to visit each waterfall viewing point. It is not too far to walk around, and different angles and altitudes have different beauty, all of which are very shocking. If you are not afraid of getting wet, you can go down to the bottom of the waterfall or take a cruise on the Niagara River to see it, where you can see the panoramic view and have an intimate contact with the waterfall.
Located in Niagara County, western New York, close to the Niagara River, it is connected to the Canadian city of the same name by a rainbow bridge. The city is named after the waterfall, and it is the main base for viewing the waterfall in the United States. Niagara Falls Niagara Falls is the world's largest multinational waterfall. It is the Great Falls on the Niagara River in northeastern North America. It is also one of the most famous wonders of the American continent. Victoria Falls is also known as the world's three major transnational waterfalls.

Casa Roman Castle is truly amazing! From the moment you step in, it seems to be back to medieval Europe. The castle is unique in style, with gothic spires and exquisite carvings, showing the luxury and mystery. The interior is even more gorgeous, with elegant study rooms and mysterious towers, each room full of stories. The tower overlooks downtown Toronto with a panoramic view and intoxicating.
A castle with over 100 years of history in Toronto. It has a long history! You must come to see it when you come to Toronto. It is very exquisite inside.

The Art Gallery of Ontario is a very attractive museum designed by the architect Frank Gehry. Its appearance is like a crystal ship, with a strong sense of modern art. The glass wall and glass wings on the north side of the main entrance glow under the lights at night, creating a beautiful scenery. The spiral staircase in the museum fully demonstrates Gehry's design talent.
The Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) is one of the largest art museums in North America, located in Toronto, Canada. It houses a diverse collection of over 95,000 works, including European, Canadian, and contemporary art.

St Lawrence Market is a nice place to go in Toronto. It is near downtown Toronto. I enjoyed some delicious fresh salmon sashimi at a very affordable price. More shops are open during weekend, it is better to go there during weekend.
There is probably a similar market in many cities. From the seaside, walk along Yonge Road back to Front Street, turn right and walk slowly for about 10 minutes to get there (you will pass a puppy fountain in the middle). There are a lot of things in the market, quite rich. I wanted to try the Montreal smoked meat sandwich, but I found flies on the meat, so I gave up. I tried the fruit (Raspberry), but the middle was not fresh; I had a turkey sandwich 🥪, which tasted okay; I had a chocolate (puff), which tasted very good.

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]
The University of Toronto is the best university in Canada. When you walk around the campus, you will see cute little squirrels from time to time. This is a place where nature and humanity are in harmony. It has a strong academic atmosphere and a heavy historical flavor.

After my visit to Ripley's Aquarium of Canada, I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with the experience. The aquarium is located in the heart of downtown Toronto and is a must-visit attraction for anyone in the area.
As soon as you enter, you are transported into an underwater world with stunning exhibits that showcase a variety of aquatic life. From sharks and stingrays to sea turtles and jellyfish, there is something for everyone to see.
One of the highlights of the aquarium is the Dangerous Lagoon exhibit, which features a moving walkway that takes you through an underwater tunnel surrounded by sharks and other marine life. It's a thrilling experience that is sure to leave a lasting impression.
The aquarium also offers a range of interactive experiences, such as the Touch Tank, where visitors can get up close and personal with a variety of creatures, including horseshoe crabs and sea stars. There are also daily shows and feedings that provide a deeper understanding of the animals and their behavior.
Overall, I would highly recommend a visit to Ripley's Aquarium of Canada. It's a fun and educational experience that is perfect for all ages. The exhibits are well-maintained, and the staff are knowledgeable and passionate about their work. It's definitely worth adding to your list of must-visit attractions in Toronto.

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!
The main street in Chinatown is Spadina Avenue. There are many Chinese restaurants and some other Asian restaurants. Some of the buildings and alleys have impressive murals on their exteriors. There are several stores selling cheap T-shirts and other clothing.
