From coast to coast: a journey across two oceans

Canada has a land area of 9.98 million square kilometers, ranking second in the world. It borders the Pacific Ocean in the west, the Atlantic Ocean in the east, the United States in the south and the Arctic Ocean in the north. Canada consists of ten provinces and three territories. What are the ten provinces from east to west? Newfoundland and Labrador in Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island in Prince Edward Island [5] Nova Scotia in Nova Scotia, Quebec in Quebec, New Brunswick in Ontario, Manitoba and Manitoba; Saskatchewan, Saskatchewan; Alberta, Alberta; And British Columbia. These three regions are Nu Loewit, Nu Loewit, Northwest Territories and Yukon.

When I first set foot on this vast and sparsely populated land, I had the idea of going from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Although there is always a distance between reality and ideal, we never give up. How many years have passed, last year, this year, this year finally achieved the plan.

In the autumn of 20 17, I spent nine days in three provinces in the eastern Atlantic, which are often called the three marine provinces. Include Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. The journey is about five thousand kilometers.

Cavendish Beach, a red beach on Prince Edward Island.

Anne's little green house, green gable's former residence, Anne. This is one of the few cultural landscapes in Canada.

Halifax, the capital of Nova Scotia. An ice-free port in the Atlantic Ocean. It is also the seat of the Canadian Ministry of Defence.

Peggy Bay fishing village Peggy Bay?

? Cape Peggy Lighthouse is a landmark building in the province, and it is indispensable in postcards. This is also a lighthouse still working in the Atlantic Ocean.

Hopewell Rock, Cape of Good Hope, Fundy Bay National Park, New Brunswick.

? The gap between high tide and low tide is 40-70 feet. A place that westerners think they will go all their lives.

? Ontario and Quebec in central China are omitted here, because they have been in and out countless times and are familiar with them.

In the early autumn of 20 18, I set out from Ontario again. This trip is to four western provinces: Manetho, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia in the Pacific Ocean. The coast-to-coast plan was officially completed. When my wish for many years is about to come true, I feel less excited and uneasy than in the past. Perhaps life has experienced countless ups and downs, and the clouds are light and the water is long, which is more desirable. Since the distant goal is no longer important, enjoy every section of the scenery on the road now.

Day 1 day

Toronto-whoa, whoa, whoa.

In the early morning, the car just entered 404, and it felt strange. After investigation, the rear wheel leaked air. After some twists and turns and repairs, I officially set off. More than three hours later than originally planned. Only the 404-400-69- 17 expressway is in running all the way.

? After more than 900 kilometers of galloping, when the sun sets, I arrived in Wowa Town.

? Wawa's mother tongue is "the land of wild geese".

The town stands the largest Canadian goose sculpture in the world.

? In the sunset, the goose quietly overlooks a golden lake and forest in the distance.

There is a waterfall not far away. Go there before dark. Ten minutes' drive, the end of the road is suddenly enlightened, and a magnificent landscape is presented.

"High Waterfalls with Beautiful Scenery"

When the sun sets, birds are tired, and there is no one in the empty valley. Only the sound of the camera shutter and the sound of the waterfall running water rattled in the humid air.

Travel: 953 kilometers

the next day

Wawa Kenora.

Leave W Town and continue on Highway 17. After an hour's drive, stop at a roadside town to refuel.

There is a bear statue near the gas station. A closer look shows that this is Baihe in Baihe Town.

? It is said that Winnie the Pooh's hometown in Disney animation is here.

There is also a big thermometer on the other side of the gas station. It recorded the extremely cold weather of MINUS 58 degrees here.

The morning fog has not dispersed, and we have been driving on the 17 expressway. Lake Superior is always by the car. Fog enveloped the winding mountain road. The speed limit of the expressway is 90 km/h. Arrived in Kai Nuo, Kenora later that day. Kenora was established with the appearance of Pacific Railway and Highway 17.

The abandoned old railway station has now become one of the landmark buildings in this town.

This town is the last one that passed before leaving Ontario. Just over 5000 people. Northern Ontario is sparsely populated, so there are limited places to stay. The night I stayed was the worst night of my trip. This is already in the central North American time zone. There is an hour time difference with Toronto. ?

? Today's itinerary: 950 kilometers

? the third day

Kenora Saskatoon

Today is the longest driving distance in the journey. It will span three provinces. Shortly after turning from 17 to 1, I left Ontario and entered Manetho Bar, Manitoba.

Myanmar province is a big province of grassland agriculture and animal husbandry. The scenery here is quite different from that in Ontario.

The flat 1 highway is flanked by fields.

After refueling in Winnipeg, turn to 16 highway and continue westbound. The speed limit sign shows120km/h.

The scenery on both sides is constantly changing, with fields, lakes, rivers, haystacks and barns. ...

? Take Highway 16 westbound, cross Myanmar, and then enter Saskatchewan. At dusk, I arrived in Saskatoon, Saskatoon, and I will stay here tonight. I walked from Ontario and Myanmar to Saskatchewan in one day. I walked nearly 1000 km.

The fourth day

Saskatoon Saskatoon-Two Mountains

This is a day when you don't have to get up early to rush. Because today you can walk more than 400 kilometers to your destination. It's two hours' drive from Saskatchewan to a small town called Lloyd's Name, Lioydminster. The eastern part of the town belongs to Saskatchewan, but the western part belongs to Alberta. When the car passed four colored steel beams in the town, we also entered the province. Also entered another time zone. There is a two-hour time difference between Alberta and Toronto.

At lunch time, we arrived at today's destination, two hills. The town is about 20 minutes' drive from 16 expressway. I came to visit a couple I met by chance when I was working here a few years ago. He is also the owner of the hotel we renovated. There are bars and restaurants downstairs, and rooms on the second and third floors.

After such a long separation, our friends prepared delicious Chinese food for us. The best is the wild duck medicine soup. A solution to the recent lack of taste. Wine is indispensable. Sip all kinds of wine in the bar.

A long time ago, I found a quiet town far away, opened a tea and wine shop, and spent the rest of my life with the people I like. It is the dream of many people. However, the owner gave up after five years of operation. Because the town's economy mainly serves the oil field. With the decline of the oil industry, business is no longer good. Standing in front of the guest room window, looking at the depressed street, remembering the prosperity of that day is very embarrassing.

Travel: 466 kilometers

Fifth day

Two Mountains-Edmonton and Emmington

? Breakfast is made by friends themselves, jiaozi. It's amazing to eat zongzi in such a place. In the farewell, we set foot on the road to Edmonton.

The car continued westbound on 16 highway. Jin Aimin suddenly caught a glimpse of a road sign pointing to Elk Island National Park. Take a quick look. This is also a good place to watch the aurora in the starry sky. Unfortunately, in recent days, due to the influence of nearby mountain fires, the sky is overcast.

I met the owner here in the jungle by the lake. A herd of elk.

I left the park and went to Edmonton, the capital of Albania. A city full of oil.

It was still early, and I went for a walk in the park next to Abbott University.

Then go to West Edmonton Mall, the largest indoor shopping center in North America.

? In addition to hundreds of famous shops, the center also has large-scale activities such as indoor skating, artificial waves, beaches and children's play.

Light blue beaches and evergreen pine forests appeared on both sides.

Stop at the top of Marlene Canyon and walk down the valley.

? The cave type eroded by glaciers for hundreds of millions of years has become such a strange landscape today.

Ribbon-like waterfalls flowed down from the lush plants. There are six small bridges in the canyon, and each bridge has a different view.

? Traska Falls, Abbas. Asabaka falls.

In the light rain, turn onto Highway 1 and drive towards Columbia Icefield. I wonder what will happen on the ice sheet. Because I made an appointment online in advance. Ran into the service center in the rain, just in time for the departure. Then transfer to a special ice car to reach the ice rink.

? When I got off the bus, there was a heavy snow. It is a rare experience to experience In the snow in midsummer.

Because I bought a sky walk and an ice sheet package. After coming down from the ice sheet, transfer to the park free shuttle bus to the glass plank road.

Hanging glass is popular in recent years, and it is also available in Rocky Mountain. There is no public parking lot in the scenic spot, only cars in the park can be parked. To come here, either take a bus in the park or walk.

? It doesn't rain anymore, and there are clouds on the peak. Continue in the center of the Rocky Mountains. Here we are, Lake Peto and Lake Peto.

It has just snowed, and the green pine forest under the snowy mountain is covered with a layer of snow, which is a beautiful winter scenery. Walking through the snow to find the lake and walking to the observation deck in the middle of the mountain, a blue star-shaped lake appeared in front of you: Lake Peto.

? Continue to drive on 1 and finally reach the famous Lake Louis. Lake Louis.

Mist enveloped the white peaks. By the lake, I saw a unique little mouse here.

Gonghe Guan Jing Avenue-Banfu Town-Gonghe Waterfall

Warning signs of various animals will be seen from time to time on the expressway. But I haven't seen a bear. Try to take 1 A to banff town one by one and see if you can meet them. 1 A is Gonghe Guan Jing Road, which is parallel to 1 highway and Gonghe River. Legend has it that many animals appear. Enter 65438 +0 A and slow down to 60. Take your time. I soon found something.

? There are several sika deer in the jungle in the distance. Stop the car and take photos with your hands and feet together. The bear I hope to see won't come for a while.

Gonghe River flows to this special blue section.

? The Pacific Railway also appeared by the river. If you can go to the Rocky Mountains by train, it will be a great pleasure in life.

Banff town has become a very mature tourist destination. There are many hotels and shops in the town. If you want to visit sulphur mountain on the bus, the handsome guy at the ticket office knows that there are dark clouds on the mountain, so he will show the live video and make his own decision. Cancel the trip up the mountain immediately. I really want to give a compliment to the handsome guy. Perhaps only in Canada can such a good deed be done.

? After slowly flowing through the town, the Gonghe River suddenly ran down, creating the Gonghe Waterfall in front of us.

Stay in canmore tonight.

Trip: 82KM?

the ninth day

Banff-Whistler visa

? The bus goes from 1 to Highway 99 via Highway 97. Entered BC province. I also moved to a new time zone, with a three-hour time difference from Ontario.

The car is driving on Highway 99 where the speed limit sign is constantly changing. Roads are mostly built by cliffs in canyons, with steep slopes. It feels like walking in Yunnan, Sichuan and Tibet.

? When the car was walking between the Marble Canyon and the Fraser River, it reached the town of Liluoette. A place where indigenous people live. It was once famous for its minerals and jade. Railways and bridges built by mining in those years are still in operation today. Only the railway was changed into a tourist train.
