On March 2 0, 2 0 0 6, the second one was launched? The style and characteristics of the coin with a face value of 2 5 cents are pink ribbons, which symbolize hope and self-awareness, and strive to build a society without breast cancer.
One of the largest waterfalls in the world.
Niagara river is a river connecting the five lakes. The flowing water of Lake Erie flows from this river to Lake Ontario after collecting three lakes: Lake Superior, Lake Huron and Lake Michigan. The river is only 56 kilometers long, but the valley is narrow and steep, forming a deep fault. Hedong is new york, USA, and Hexi is Ontario, Canada where the world-famous Niagara Falls are located.
The lake is divided into two parts by the "goat island" on the cliff. The Great Waterfall is horseshoe-shaped in Canada, known as horseshoe waterfall, with a width of 750 meters and a height of 56 meters. Waterfall is an American waterfall, 330 meters wide and 55 meters high. Horseshoe-shaped waterfall, because of its large amount of water, rushed down from 50 meters high, with a thunderous momentum. Sometimes the splashing waves are as high as 100 meter. When the sun shines, it will produce seven-color rainbows. The small waterfall is very wide and detailed, like the bride's wedding dress, also known as the wedding waterfall. Because the bottom of the lake is rugged rock, the water flow is swirling, in contrast to the vertical waterfall. It has also become a resort for couples to meet and newlyweds to spend their honeymoon.
Canada's ice hockey is the best
Ice hockey originated in Canada 150 years ago and soon spread to Europe and other countries in the world. Canada's ice hockey level has always been in the forefront of the world, and the number of ice hockey players and venues far exceeds that of other countries.
At present, there are10.3 million registered ice hockey players in the world, of which about10.2 million are concentrated in Canada, the United States, Sweden, Russia, Finland and the Czech Republic, the six ice hockey powers in the world today. Among these six countries, the number of ice hockey players in Canada alone is as high as 50 1 10,000, accounting for nearly half of the total. Even according to the proportion of the national population of 29.8 million, the number of ice hockey players in Canada is absolutely the highest in the world.
The most livable place in the world.
In the annual world city survey, Canada has won the title of "the most livable place in the world" for many times, among which Vancouver and Toronto rank among the top ten most livable cities. To a large extent, they are also considered not to be the targets of terrorist attacks.
The Economist Intelligence Unit magazine surveyed all 127 international metropolises in the world, and evaluated every factor that can be called "difficult ranking", including urban infrastructure, medical and health care, public safety and the convenience for residents to obtain goods and services.
Canadian national stone-mottled gem
Spotted gemstones (also known as patchwork/unicorn stones) are produced in Alberta, western Canada. It is the only gem with seven colors found at present, so it is also called rainbow in stone, which is very rare. It evolved underground more than 70 million years later and was pushed to the surface by the crustal movement of Loki Mountains.
Spotted gems not only have a long history, but also have legendary myths. Because they originated from mysterious colors, Europeans regard them as geomantic stones and wear them as various ornaments to pray for good luck. It is also considered to have extraordinary therapeutic and regulatory effects because it absorbs the essence and energy of the universe. No wonder it was named the national stone of Canada after being unearthed, and it was also designated as an engagement token by the Japanese royal family, which naturally became the new favorite of the gem industry at present.
Legend has it that this colorful gem originated from an Indian tribe in Alberta, Canada, and was trapped in a cave due to a snowstorm and was starving to death. One night, the chief's daughter heard a beautiful song coming from outside the cave, so she went out to find out. But at that time, all I saw was a colorful humanoid gem shining brightly under the big tree, and a voice told her to take it back, so that I could summon buffalo to satisfy their hunger. So she followed the instructions and found the buffalo wandering outside the cave the next day. From then on, they called this kind of stone Buffalo Stone, which is now known as colorful lucky gem.

Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls is one of the three famous waterfalls in the world. "Niagara" means "water of Raytheon" in Hindi. Indians think that the roar of the waterfall is the voice of Raytheon, because the huge water flow of the waterfall goes straight to the valley with the trend of the Milky Way and Ma Benteng, roaring and roaring like a muffled thunder, and the sound is thousands of miles away.
Niagara river borders Canada on the left and the United States on the right, winding from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario, with a total length of 57.6 kilometers. The upper reaches are flat and the water flow is slow. In the middle reaches, the river drops 48 meters, where the river falls vertically, forming a huge waterfall, which is Niagara Falls. Historically, in order to compete for this treasure land, a fierce war broke out between the United States and Canada from 18 12 to 18 14. After the war, the two countries signed the Ghent Agreement, stipulating that niagara river belongs to both countries, and the center line of the main channel is the border between the two countries. Since then, the two countries have established the twin cities, Niagara Falls, on both sides of the waterfall (one belongs to Ontario, Canada and the other belongs to new york, USA). The two cities face each other across the river and are connected by the Rainbow Bridge. The flags of the United States, Canada and the United Nations are flying in the middle of the bridge (the American Stars and Stripes are in the south, the Canadian Maple Leaf Flag is in the north, and the United Nations flag is in the middle). Neither country has a single soldier here, and people can move freely and live in peace.
The largest waterfall in the world is known as one of the seven wonders of the world. Since the Belgian writer Henniping visited the waterfall in 1678 and gave a vivid description of this wonderful wonder on the earth, Niagara Falls began to be famous all over the world. A series of amusement facilities have been built around Niagara Falls, with Queen Victoria Park on the Canadian side and Niagara Park on the American side. Four towers were built around Niagara Falls. Visitors can take the elevator to the tower and have a panoramic view. They can also take the elevator to go deep into the underground tunnel, get under the waterfall and listen to the thunderous sound when the waterfall falls. Only when American residents or tourists come to Canada can they see the magnificent scenery of the waterfall completely. As many as140,000 tourists come here every year. Before falling into the waterfall, the wide river was divided into three parts by Goat Island in the middle of the river, forming three waterfalls: the horseshoe waterfall on the west side of the island, with a width of 675 meters and a drop of 56 meters, is the most imposing waterfall and belongs to Canada; On the east side is the "American Waterfall", which is 320 meters wide and has a drop of 58 meters. It belongs to the United States. At the southern end of the American Waterfall, there is a smaller waterfall that looks like a bride's veil. People gave it a lovely name, called "Wedding Waterfall". After the water flows downstream and rejoins, it flows directly into Lake Ontario. Niagara Falls is a magnificent three-dimensional picture scroll. When viewed from different angles, people will have different feelings. In front of the Great Waterfall, people are stunned. In the earth-shattering masterpiece "The Great Delay", it adds a little righteousness to the world and reduces a little filth, just as Dickens, a famous western writer, expressed in that philosophical language: "Niagara Waterfall, beautiful and gorgeous, deeply touched my heart; Remember, never fade, never migrate until her pulse stops beating, forever, forever. "
Vancouver
Vancouver is the largest city in British Columbia, adjacent to Washington State, with a population of about 654.38+0.9 million. Surrounded by mountains and seas, she is a famous tourist attraction in Canada.

The main attractions are: pacific coliseum, Gas City, Chinatown, Queen's Park, Canada Square and Science World, Robertson Street, glanville Island, grouse Mountain and Takako Waterfall.
Ottawa
The capital of Canada, located on the south bank of Ottawa River, is the political center of Canada, with beautiful scenery, quiet environment and rich cultural atmosphere. Every July 1 day, a solemn National Day military parade is held in front of the Parliament Building with an ancient European style. In the early morning of summer, it is breezy, and you can watch the changing drill of the Royal Guard in front of the Capitol. At night, in the square in front of the Capitol, endless bonfires accompanied by beautiful music bring great enjoyment to tourists and cool people.
Banff national park
Banff National Park in Canada is located on the east slope of the Rocky Mountain in the southwest of Alberta, bordering British Columbia, with an area of 6,666 square kilometers. The park was built in 1885 and19th century. In order to protect a hot spring here, Queen Victoria of England ordered to set aside 25 square kilometers, and then the hot spring was expanded into a swimming pool and bathroom. Moreover, the area of the park is expanding, and many scenic spots and beautiful scenery in the nearby mountainous areas are placed in the park, thus forming today's scale. Banff National Park is the first national park in Canada and a famous summer resort. There are ice peaks, glaciers, ice sheets, lakes, mountains, grasslands and hot springs scattered all over the park, and its Xiushui Qifeng is rare in Canada, ranking first in North America.
In the park, especially in the middle of Lake Louis, the scenery is the best. Here, the lake changes color with the sunlight, sometimes blue, sometimes green. From a distance, the lake is transparent, just like a piece of jasper embedded in the soil, so it is also called "Emerald Lake". Looking up from the lake, I saw mountains surrounded, the top of the mountain was snowy, and the forest belt on the mountainside was like ink. Under the blue sky, the mountains and rivers set each other off and the scenery is pleasant. Tourists strolled by the lake and suddenly felt chilly, and the summer heat disappeared.
Along the Rocky Mountains, there are many such blue lakes, just like a string of pearls intentionally scattered by nature, which makes the quiet mountains full of vitality. There are bears, elk, moose, wild goats and other typical Rocky Mountain animals in the national park. However, due to too many tourists, Kashi National Park can no longer be used as a nature reserve, but has become a leisure and entertainment area for human beings.
There are many modern hotels, motels and forest camps in the park. Among them, the "Castle Hotel" on Lake Louis is the best. There are beautiful lakes and mountains, antique exterior design and magnificent interior design, which is really an excellent place for tourists to stay. Banff, where the Castle Hotel is located, also has an art center and a museum.
