Kingston is two hours drive from Ottawa. I am tired of Montreal and I am tired of Notre Dame Cathedral. I have to choose another city to punch in. Kingston, who has Queen's University, a well-known Canadian institution of higher learning, has become the first choice.
Kingston was a January bonus, only known Montreal, Toronto, Quebec City, the big city, saw Kingston at the via train station, so jumped on the train to visit
The weather forecast was a naughty goblins, and it was clear that a week ago, so I bought a train ticket to Kingston. I didn't expect that on the day of departure, the snow in Ottawa chased all the way to Kingston.
The Thousand Islands, like the thousands of pearls scattered by God on the St. Lawrence River, the lake is deep blue, vast and quiet, lush woods, endless scenery on both sides of the Straits, the picture is like a fairy scene...
The natural scenery of Kingston is also great. Of course, the most famous is Qiandao Lake. Qiandao Lake Scenic Area is located on the east side of Kingston City, and on the river between the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario, it is scattered with more than 1,800 different islands, so it is called "Qiandao Lake". This is also the border of the United States and Canada, and the two countries each occupy the waters of 1/3 and 2/3. In summer, there are many tourists here to browse the scenery of Qiandao Lake by boat. There are many summer tourists on the Internet to visit Qiandao Lake in summer, but there are few relevant introductions when tourists cannot take a boat in winter. Winter strolls on the beautiful lake. You can walk on the lake with confidence, jumping and rolling like a child on the thick ice and snow. On the south side of Kingston, Lake Ontario is close to the lake, across the lake and the largest of the lake. From Kingston Prison to the east, King St. Street leads to the city center, and there is a Waterfront Pathway between King St. and the lake. After the snow, I strolled on this 3-4 kilometer-long pedestrian trail. The lake was white and I could vaguely see the wind farm above Wolfe Island. There are not many people in KINGSTON, there are no tourists in winter, and there are no footprints on the snow. It has been snowing for more than ten days in a row. I have never experienced such a big snow. The thick snow has not crossed my knees. The roadside is full of snowmobile snowmobiles. The blue sky, white land, white trees, white windmills, and white smoke from the tall chimneys are definitely a rare view of the world. More than ten meters away from the lake, a row of dog teeth staggered ice lines arranged like a messy sword piercing the sky, and somehow formed. When I started walking on the lake covered with thick snow, I didn’t know what was going on under the snow, and I was in my heart, but I walked cautiously along the footprints left by others. But after a while, there was nothing to worry about. The temperature of minus 20 degrees has frozen the lake to a solid, and there is no problem with tossing and jumping. I walked on the lake for more than half an hour, leaving a line of my own footprint on the snow on the lake. There is an apron by the lake, where an orange helicopter is parked, but there are no pilots and no guarded security guards, and pedestrians are free to pass by with photos taken.
