    The event was great. Please note that the place to exchange tickets is the ticket gate, a small green booth. Just show your voucher to him and you can go directly to the entrance. We looked for it for a long time according to the Ctrip address, asking around and wasting some time.

    You'll need to be conscious of how much time you have if you want to get the full enjoyment from this venue. Elevator queues can sometimes be long coming up and going down. This is the only real drag. The views are spectacular from both the elevator and the viewing deck. Worth the money if you have enough time.

    5.1 I went to Niagara Falls that day. I was lucky to catch up with the Maiden Cruise in the fog. I went to experience the feeling of pouring the rain from head to toe under the waterfall for $30. The attraction will send raincoats, remember to bring your shoes or it will be all wet. But it is best to see the waterfalls across Canada by boat. Niagara Falls has several observation decks. If you have a long time, you can go and see it. In addition, there is a wind tunnel scenic spot where you can see the bridal veil waterfall. The American Falls can also be seen on the observation deck without charge, but the best angle is also to enjoy the Maiden Cruise in the fog

    When visiting Niagara Falls, you must take a cruise to get a close look at the falls. We bought a package ticket for about 100 yuan, and it seemed that taking a boat alone only cost a few dozen yuan. The waiting time in line was not long, and each boat could accommodate many people. Raincoats must be worn, but you will still get wet when you get close to the falls. The whole journey took about half an hour.

    Worth experiencing, watching the waterfall, the natural landscape near Toronto that is worth checking in, and the border with the United States is just across the bridge.

    It is worthwhile to take this trip to experience the charm of the falls up close. The angle is more shocking than watching it from the riverside. There is also a photo service at the entrance, which can be purchased when you come out for 50 Canadian dollars.

    This waterfall is so beautiful that I was fascinated by it. It is my favorite place to go. You will be shocked when you see this waterfall and how it connects with the world. Although this time was different from the first time, there were many tourists who rushed to take pictures with Niagara Falls as the background, but I was not disturbed.

    If you go to Canada, you can take this mountain and waterfall as a one-day attraction. This mountain is particularly beautiful to appreciate, and you can also take a small train to enjoy the scenery of this mountain. This is not far from the Rainbow Bridge, and there are not many people. If you want to visit, you can come and visit
