    Kingston is two hours drive from Ottawa. I am tired of Montreal and I am tired of Notre Dame Cathedral. I have to choose another city to punch in. Kingston, who has Queen's University, a well-known Canadian institution of higher learning, has become the first choice.

    The weather forecast was a naughty goblins, and it was clear that a week ago, so I bought a train ticket to Kingston. I didn't expect that on the day of departure, the snow in Ottawa chased all the way to Kingston.

    The natural scenery of Kingston is also great. Of course, the most famous is Qiandao Lake. Qiandao Lake Scenic Area is located on the east side of Kingston City, and on the river between the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario, it is scattered with more than 1,800 different islands, so it is called "Qiandao Lake". This is also the border of the United States and Canada, and the two countries each occupy the waters of 1/3 and 2/3. In summer, there are many tourists here to browse the scenery of Qiandao Lake by boat. There are many summer tourists on the Internet to visit Qiandao Lake in summer, but there are few relevant introductions when tourists cannot take a boat in winter. Winter strolls on the beautiful lake. You can walk on the lake with confidence, jumping and rolling like a child on the thick ice and snow. On the south side of Kingston, Lake Ontario is close to the lake, across the lake and the largest of the lake. From Kingston Prison to the east, King St. Street leads to the city center, and there is a Waterfront Pathway between King St. and the lake. After the snow, I strolled on this 3-4 kilometer-long pedestrian trail. The lake was white and I could vaguely see the wind farm above Wolfe Island. There are not many people in KINGSTON, there are no tourists in winter, and there are no footprints on the snow. It has been snowing for more than ten days in a row. I have never experienced such a big snow. The thick snow has not crossed my knees. The roadside is full of snowmobile snowmobiles. The blue sky, white land, white trees, white windmills, and white smoke from the tall chimneys are definitely a rare view of the world. More than ten meters away from the lake, a row of dog teeth staggered ice lines arranged like a messy sword piercing the sky, and somehow formed. When I started walking on the lake covered with thick snow, I didn’t know what was going on under the snow, and I was in my heart, but I walked cautiously along the footprints left by others. But after a while, there was nothing to worry about. The temperature of minus 20 degrees has frozen the lake to a solid, and there is no problem with tossing and jumping. I walked on the lake for more than half an hour, leaving a line of my own footprint on the snow on the lake. There is an apron by the lake, where an orange helicopter is parked, but there are no pilots and no guarded security guards, and pedestrians are free to pass by with photos taken.

    Board the cruise at 12 noon. This cruise will drive to the depths of Qiandao Lake. It takes 3 hours for the whole journey. The fare is $35 (excluding tax). There is a free Chinese explainer. The first floor is a FIT, and the second floor is a restaurant. The third floor is an open deck, where you can bask in the sun, blow the lake breeze, and take pictures of the scenery. Qiandao Islands: Lakes and mountains, flying lakes, little sails, mansions. Most of the mansions are spires and large yards. Most people have their own docks and docks, and there are public yachts. Because Qiandao Lake is located in Hanoi, St. Lawrence. The St. Lawrence River is the border between the United States and Canada, so Qiandao Lake is divided into two parts: the United States is larger, and the Canadian part has more islands. Since it is the dividing line between the two countries, the flag problem has become a noteworthy thing. Island within the scope of Canada should be inserted with the Canadian flag, island within the scope of the United States should be inserted with the American flag, interestingly, some islands are inserted with the United States and two flags at the same time. That means that a national of one country has purchased an island within the territory of another country, if the flag of the United States is on top and the flag is on the ground, which means that the small island belonging to the Canadian country has been bought by the Americans. If the reverse is true, the buyer must be Canadian; Moreover, if two flags are juxtaposed, it is likely that the couple are of American and Canadian nationality. Uncountable so-called "connected bridges" connect these islands with different flags. An island with the national flags of both countries is rare in the world, and it can be found in Qiandao Lake, which is indeed a unique landscape. Now, more than 1080 rich people around the world have purchased more than 1080 islands on all Qiandao Lake. Each island owner built a beautiful house according to his own interests and gave it a nice name, it is said that there is no complete style of house on Qiandao Lake, the most praised is: this is the world-class; "A-word island". The shape of the island is very similar to the letter A, the owner suddenly imagined, built an A-shaped residence on it, and, with artificial extension of 6.2 meters, so that from the sky, the shape of the island has become a very complete letter A; From the boat, the island residence is also a very complete letter A! What is even more amazing is that sitting on the boat around the island, finding this house is a letter A from any angle! The most creative "Napoleon Hat Island". The island is not named for its shape, but because its owner, who worships Napoleon, built a strange mansion on it. It looks like a big head of Napoleon with a round eye and a hat! From time to time, the rich rowed their own small yacht from the cruise ship, they very friendly to wave to tourists. The cobblestones on the river bed next to the cruise ship dock were clearly visible. Originally wanted to clean the heart and lung system of the city for a long time by the purity of the water and sky here, but the water quality in front of you is so clean and transparent, people suddenly feel that they can wash the soul!
