The perfect combination of maple🍁 and snow❄️ in Montreal🇨🇦

#fallingseason Canada is certainly a great place to travel in Autumn as maples are everywhere! I traveled to Montreal, the largest, French-speaking city of the Quebec province in late October. I was lucky enough to see the first snow in Montreal in the Fall! Maple and snow are such a perfect match! My impression of this combination was even stronger when I went to the Mont-Royal, an iconic mountain where you can embrace the beauty of nature in Montreal. Snowflakes were fluttering in the air, falling onto the maple trees, adding a white color to the red, orange, and yellow. The scenery was picturesque! In addition, the Chalet du Mont-Royal, located on top of the Mont-Royal, is where you can observe the cityscape and the skyline of Montreal. Upon my arrival, the snowy city view disappointed me as I could hardly identify even the nearest architecture. But thankfully, after it stopped snowing, the stunning view became clear! The photos are evidence for comparison. Hooray! #montreal #montroyal

Overall, a walk through Chinatown will transport you momentarily to Asia. Spend a morning or afternoon there for a trip without leaving Montreal! #explore #chinatown #montreal #canada

Outdoor winter fun

Île Bizard is a lovely island located right next to Montreal island. It's a mostly residential area but there is also a nature park which is lovely to stroll/jog in, especially in winter. The park is not very large but the landscape is varied and it is very enjoyable to walk around. There is a parking around the beach area, but it is chargeable. If you don't mind walking a good 30 mins in the woods (around 50 mins return) then you can park for free in the residential area. The beach area is especially spectacular in winter ad the water is frozen over and you can walk over it; this is an especially special experience. A word of caution though, just make sure the ice is hard enough to support your weight. The area is very calm and in winter there is a very calming quietness to the are, especially when you're alone! The overall landscape is lovely to capture in pictures so it's a great place for both great pictures and light exercise. Dress warmly though as it can get cold once you're outdoors; always better warm than sorry! #winter #outdoors #explore #Montreal #Canada
