    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.

    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 event was great. Please note that the place to exchange tickets is the ticket gate, a small green booth. Just show your voucher to him and you can go directly to the entrance. We looked for it for a long time according to the Ctrip address, asking around and wasting some time.

    You'll need to be conscious of how much time you have if you want to get the full enjoyment from this venue. Elevator queues can sometimes be long coming up and going down. This is the only real drag. The views are spectacular from both the elevator and the viewing deck. Worth the money if you have enough time.

    5.1 I went to Niagara Falls that day. I was lucky to catch up with the Maiden Cruise in the fog. I went to experience the feeling of pouring the rain from head to toe under the waterfall for $30. The attraction will send raincoats, remember to bring your shoes or it will be all wet. But it is best to see the waterfalls across Canada by boat. Niagara Falls has several observation decks. If you have a long time, you can go and see it. In addition, there is a wind tunnel scenic spot where you can see the bridal veil waterfall. The American Falls can also be seen on the observation deck without charge, but the best angle is also to enjoy the Maiden Cruise in the fog

    Hours to spend: 3-4 hoursLOVE THEIR UNDERWATER TUNNEL! Recommend to plan this visit after your visit at CN tower or Cruise. Very educational experience that shows you the aquatic life in Canada’s waters. Very children friendly and accessible to those with disabilities. Gift shop have very unique items, NO ENTRANCE FOR PUBLIC. So do check things out before you leave.

    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]
