The St. George campus is the main campus and has no walls, blending into downtown Toronto's neighborhoods. The campus features century-old Romanesque revival buildings alongside modernist new structures, and the contrast between old and new creates a unique charm. Entering the campus and crossing the open green leads to the main building of University College, a mid-19th-century Romanesque revival structure that is one of the campus's iconic views, with its heavy stone exterior and arched doors and windows conveying the solemn dignity of a classical university. On the side of the lawn, Hart House is another classic building, housing reading rooms, galleries, and student activity spaces, and its Gothic revival style is worth a close look. The campus is dotted with sculptures and green spaces, and it is common to see students in small groups discussing or relaxing on the lawn, creating a strong academic atmosphere. Strolling across the campus along King's College Circle to the Hart House lawn offers a concentrated way to appreciate the campus scenery shaped by generations of interwoven architecture.Toronto · 94.3km from Saint Jacobs

Although the museum is not very big, the exhibits inside are very interesting and suitable for children to visit. There are many interesting small objects and various histories. Although children cannot fully understand them, it is still very good.

Recommended Day to Visit: SATURDAY On weekends there are flea market beside the main building. pretty cool to check it out for handcrafted goods. The market itself has lots of awesome goodies like sweets and snacks to taste from. Very local and very friendly store keepers. DO BRING CASH!! Not all stores accept card payments.

The University of Toronto building was a drab gray, covered in vines, some windows were dark and gaping. Students lay sprawled on the lawn, sunbathing, their backpacks tossed aside. Passing through the archway, the lettering on the stone wall was worn smooth to the touch. A squirrel darted out of a trash can, snatching a potato chip. A guitarist sat on the steps of the library, playing a languid tune. Turning out, across the street was the Chinatown sign, bright red, a stark contrast.

5.1当天去的尼亚加拉大瀑布，很幸运正好赶上雾中少女号游轮开航，30美金去体验了一下在大瀑布下的大雨倾盆劈头盖脸从头到脚浇下的感觉，景点会发雨衣，记得自己带鞋套不然全湿。但想看全加拿大那边的瀑布还是乘船效果最好。尼亚加拉大瀑布有好几处观景台，时间长的话可以都去看看，另外还有个风洞景区可以看到新娘面纱瀑布。美国瀑布在不收费的观景台也能看到，但最好的角度也是乘雾中少女号游轮欣赏

Spadina Avenue is a main north-south street in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It starts from the Gardiner Expressway in the south and ends at Bullock Street in the north. The Spadina Avenue we are talking about today refers to the section of Spadina between Queen Street West and Bullock Street, not far from City Hall. In a broad sense, it is Chinatown
The signs in Chinatown are written in both Chinese and English (as shown in the picture), and the government has also set a precedent by setting up a road sign with "Chinatown" written in Chinese on the Gardiner Expressway
Today, Toronto's Chinatown is one of the most famous Chinatowns in North America. There are more than 400,000 Chinese people nearby. It's amazing that my great China has its people all over the world

Dundas-Yonge Street is the Nanjing Road of Toronto. It is very lively every day with a constant flow of people. I also watched an IMAX movie "Shazam!" here and drank the long-missed milk tea. It was really a very happy experience.

There is a cliff park next to Lake Ontario in Toronto. It is also a very tall place with beautiful natural scenery and a waterfall with a large drop. There are many small animals in the park, making it a very suitable place for entertainment.

It is mid-September now and there are no more flowers, but it is still very comfortable, with green everywhere, fresh air, blue sky and white clouds. The park is not big, but it is in the city center, so it is nice to take a walk 👍.
