RichardThe last nail ( The Last Spike) The world's second largest land area has been nailed since then /The last spike is a well-known humanistic attraction halfway from British Columbia to Banff National Park. To be honest, it’s really a little bird-free place (Craigellachie) The eastern and western sections of the Canadian Pacific Railway have been connected to the Great Lakes region of Canada (Toronto) and the Atlantic region (Halifax), and neither the westward United States nor the Russians that encircle Alaska can erode the land. The Canadian Pacific Railway System was built between Great Lakes Canada (the three further west prairie provinces and British Columbia, which were newly developed until the end of the 19th century) and British Columbia, between 1881 and 1885. The existing railway linking the Ottawa Valley and the Gulf of Georgia fulfills British Columbia's promise of return to the Canadian Confederacy in 1871. Visitors to Banff National Park will be surprised by the magnificent mountains there, Of course, this terrain in the 19th century is absolutely right. Until now, there are many places along Canada's No. 1 highway named after a pass (mountain pass) a tunnel, these places are often the nightmare of the railway construction! Railway construction parties that want to save budgets and catch up with construction began to use cheap Chinese workers in a large number of battles, and consumed these "one-time consumables" that could not protect their interests in the steep cliffs of the Rocky Mountains on November 7, 1885. The Pacific Railway was knocked into the last nail (made of gold to commemorate this historical moment) in Craigellachie, and the Canadian National Railway was connected, and North America was a big iron plate "from ocean to ocean". In that era, even the popularity of Chinese characters was only a few percent, The only thing our compatriots have done is to survive. The "last nail" attraction is an important historical witness to Canada's founding history, and it has an extra weight for us Chinese.
