This is the historic site where the Northwest Mounted Police built the castle in 1875, but it's gone now, and it's this beautiful park with wide lawns that oozes its charm. In the Interpretation Center located in a corner of the park, the scene of the Northwest Mounted Police at that time was reproduced, and the video was also shown.

🏙️ Calgary Tower, Canada 🇨🇦 — Incredible Views Above the City! ✨Visiting Calgary Tower was a wonderful experience! ❤️ Standing 191 meters above the city, the observation deck offers spectacular panoramic views of downtown Calgary, the surrounding landscapes, and even the majestic Rocky Mountains on clear days! 🏔️😍The most exciting part was stepping onto the glass floor, looking straight down at the streets below. Definitely a thrilling moment! 😅📸I especially loved seeing Calgary’s modern skyline from a completely different perspective.💡 Travel tip: Visit around sunset for beautiful golden light and stay to admire the illuminated city. 🌅❤️ A fantastic attraction for photography lovers and anyone exploring Calgary!#CalgaryTower #Calgary #CanadaTravel #ExploreAlberta

This is a multifunctional sports center. It is not just a stadium. First of all, the appearance is quite unique, which is different from ordinary gymnasiums. There are several venues in the venue, which can carry out various sports activities.

It looks like a tunnel bridge, and it is also a transportation hub for passing through the other side of the river. The color of this bridge is very eye-catching, with red intersecting structures. Vehicles cannot pass through, but people and bicycles can pass freely. There are lights at night, and Fengjia feels magnificent. [Scenery] Very beautiful

It's a very comfortable place. The key is that you can enjoy such a large and natural park without going to the suburbs. It's really nice. There are artificial lakes, large lawns, and woods. It's very beautiful.

Blocks 1 to 4, not far from Chinatown, offer a seamless experience with food, drinks, entertainment, and artisan performances. Flanked by low-rise, old buildings, two-thirds of Calgary's brand-name stores are located here. However, it's only about a kilometer long, so I won't post photos to avoid disappointment. Compared to pedestrian streets in China, the architecture is older, with influences from Britain and France. The other issues are that the business hours are about half of what you'd find in China, with more street performers and fewer spicy food restaurants. While the street hygiene is comparable, the food is superior. Foreign liquor and beer are superior, but cigarettes are nonexistent.

This place is a local historical park, but it actually looks like a wasteland. Maybe it is to maintain its original appearance, except for a statue and a small exhibition hall.
