Really a must-see train experience in a lifetime. In September 2019, the weather in Canada was very suitable. It was very wonderful to sit on the train and experience the feeling of the forest in the mountains. The train on the Vancouver train station held a grand farewell ceremony before departure by the train company. This made me feel a surprise. There were not only Chinese service staff on the train to introduce the scenery along the way, but also a food experience. Sitting on the train and watching the scenery of Rocky Mountain, eating Michelin meals, really can&#39;t be described in words. The fare is really not cheap, I was a little hesitant before booking, but I felt the value of the money after the experience. There is also a feeling that it will be boring on the train before leaving. I didn&#39;t expect that there were still a lot of activities. The photos couldn&#39;t stop at all, especially the glass dome was like watching the IMAX blockbuster. Soon a wonderful day passed. The Queen&#39;s favorite train really deserves its reputation and makes me and my wife feel very honorable. . .
