Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Thousand Islands, Canada is located near Kingston, more than 200 kilometers southwest of Ottawa. Kingston is also known as the "Water City" because of its location at the junction of the Great Lakes, and was a well-known water transport fortress long ago. The Thousand Islands of Qiandao Lake refers to the stretch of the St. Lawrence River connecting with Lake Ontario. There are more than 1,800 islands of different sizes scattered. The smaller is just a reef, and the larger can reach several square miles. The definition of an island in Qiandao Lake is very interesting. It is said that as long as there are two trees growing out of the water, it can be called an island. These islands spread across the St. Lawrence River like stars, like a fairyland in a fairy tale.
