[Montreal Ferris Wheel]

Montreal Eye

Address: No. 362, Loudera Commune, Montreal

I have always thought that whether Having a Ferris wheel is a class standard for a tourist city. If a city has a Ferris wheel, locals will often talk about it with pride. There are many world-famous Ferris wheels, from the London Eye to the Singapore Wheel. Some of them are old and romantic, while others are trendy and handsome. The Montreal Ferris Wheel is the tallest Ferris wheel in Canada, the Montreal Ferris Wheel (also called the "Big Ferris Wheel"), located nearly 200 feet above sea level in the Bonsecours Basin in Old Montreal.

The stunning old buildings in the Old Town make up the history of the city.

Your heart will definitely be immersed in the dusk beauty of the old port, and at the same time, you will slowly calm down and read about the new and old of this city.

The diversity of the streets is a real characteristic of the city.

Address: Saint-Laurent, Quebec

The observation deck and Ferris wheel help us overlook the whole of Montreal from a high altitude. In fact, in addition to retaining the historical feel of the old city, Generate also has a fresh and youthful atmosphere, which can be seen from the wall paintings that can be seen everywhere in the city. You will find that whether it is architectural styles, shopping mall interiors, or street bar decorations, they are all "varied" with artistic atmosphere. Graffiti flourishes in the city, especially near the Duras neighborhood of Lafontaine Park, northeast of Mount Royal, down from the Lady of Victory. As soon as you look up, there are graffiti works of different styles and expressions everywhere!

Street artists enthusiastically display their talents, and their bold and creative graffiti murals are full of creative inspiration.

Saint Laurent's graffiti artists create giant graffiti on the streets, conveying a kind of power to the soul through exaggerated faces or strange character shapes. This wave of street art from Montreal is in the ascendant, and street graffiti is also developing in an increasingly larger direction.

Montreal street graffiti is one of the most commendable visual arts in the city, so if you are keen on trendy culture and paint a few strokes from time to time, this place is definitely worth checking out.

Today's Montreal is no longer a quaint town. It has grown into a modern city with many high-rise buildings. Walking between modern and Gothic buildings, you are looking for Montreal for young people.

Beyond Montreal’s art world, it also enjoys an unrivaled prosperity. As one of the seven design cities, it offers world-class fashion design and mouth-watering cuisine. The most direct manifestation of modern urban landscape is scattered high-rise buildings, but I don’t know why I start to imagine Spider-Man when I see so many high-rise buildings.

If you don’t have much time to visit a city, you have to get to know Montreal quickly and deeply. In my opinion, there are "shortcuts" to this kind of speed travel.

The Old Port is the representative and epitome of Montreal's old city. I have never been to Old Port, even if I haven’t been to Mengcheng. Old Port first came to Canada as a French-born fur trading port and has a history of more than 350 years. The boundaries between Montreal's Old Town and Old Port and New Town are not as clear as in other cities. They are inseparable from the center of high-rise buildings, which is why everyone says that the new and the old complement each other so well in this city. The Old Town and Old Port are the concentrated essence of Montreal. If the weather is nice, you can take a leisurely walk through the city center.

On the one hand, you can see what the CBD of Canada’s second largest city is like. On the other hand, you may find yourself transported from the 21st century to the 19th century without even realizing it.

By far, for any tourist, Old Montreal and the Old Port are the first choices for traveling here. The historical buildings in the nearby old town are well preserved, and it is appropriate to say that this is an open-air museum, because it displays the city's vivid history and culture.

Every weekend, the market here makes Old Port lively. The most famous clock tower in the Old Port is the Clocktower Quay, which was built in 1922 to commemorate the sailors who died in World War I. Climb up and have a panoramic view of the St. Lawrence River, the Jacques Cartier Bridge, St. Helen's Island, the Cape of Good Hope, the Old Port and the Old Town.

Jean Talon Market

North American foodie paradise

Eating habits should be local customs important aspects. What do Montrealers eat? How to eat it? The most down-to-earth way is to go to the most famous local vegetable market to find out. Jean Tallon Market, located in the heart of Montreal's Little Italy, is the largest wet market in Montreal and the largest wet market in North America. There is a saying that for a foodie, no matter how far you go, just for the spoonful in your heart. No matter how far you go, it’s worth it!

This kind of pastry cabinet with Western characteristics is filled with snacks of various shapes and colors. There are so many types that you will have difficulty choosing if you are not careful!

The technology house in the world's cities, the city of projected images

The city of world art awards, the city of European and American cultural accumulation, the city of modernity washed away by classics.... ..Montreal has enough titles that alternate between old and new, but there is another very important part of its urban character, and that is technology. Trier is such a city, especially when night falls, you will find yourself in a dreamlike country...

(Picture from the website /en/cite- memoire/）

The "City Memory" (420MCGILL,BUREAU401,MONTR_AL(QC)H2Y2G1,Canada) curtain wall slides are scattered in the pedestrian lanes of the old city, recreating the steps of history. It makes the old city of Montreal It became a huge open-air museum. As night falls, more than 20 video images flash on the treetops, walls and ground, inviting passers-by to get to know these various characters who have left their footprints in the city since 1642.

The Jacques-Cartier Bridge (134 Pont Jacques-Cartier, Montréal, QCH2K4M2, Canada) spans the St. Lawrence River, but not everyone has seen its new look. In 2017, a breathtaking lighting system was used to create an interactive digital light show on the bridge's external structural frame, creating a vibrant visual experience. It is said that the lighting design of the bridge reflects the life, environment and spirit of Montreal itself. The lighting control system uses weather, traffic and tweets [SW1] to collect data from the city, and then reflects it to Montreal in real time by changing the color and activity of the bridge lighting. But what I find most surprising is that even a bridge can Can tell the story of the city!

If you were to find several city cards for Montreal, then the Old Town and the Old Port are really on par with "CitiMemoroire". I have long heard that the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Montréal (110 Rue Notre-Dame Ouest, Montréal, QCH2Y1T2, Canada) is famous all over the world for its majesty and magnificence. Now, "AURA" has used the magic of light and shadow to give this vicissitudes of beauty a new lease of life. Nowadays, every change in digital media technology brings different surprises to the audience. I think I have seen too many dazzling and spectacular immersive experiences, but when the cathedral turns into a world like Pandora through the lens of Cameron, Sometimes, I am still amazed at how wonderful it is! No wonder it’s so hard to get tickets for the multimedia light show! (Ticket for the light show is 25 Canadian dollars)

When the sacred music sounded, I couldn't help being shocked to tears. The scenes inside the church are sometimes splendid, sometimes shrouded in silver light, sometimes magnificent, sometimes chilly and solemn... I have no more adjectives. When a century-old building encounters the light and shadow of science and technology, everything can be traced back and forward in one moment. Filling everyone's eyes with anticipation.

The annual "C2Montreal" opens as scheduled every May in Montreal, Quebec (900 René-Lévesque Boulevard Ouest,, 21eétage, Montreal, Quebec H3B4A5, Canada). It is said that during these three days, the most creative people in the world have been in Montreal. Interactive and immersive music and dance performances ignited the C2Montreal venue; and at the PHI Center, fans who are passionate about new technologies have the opportunity to explore virtual reality technology as an art.

The heavy sense of religious ritual gives it the most simple decoration

Notre Dame Cathedral in Montreal

No makeup, more profound beauty

Address: 110 Rue Notre-Dame Ouest, Montréal

Although Montreal has undertaken many "best in North America", this outfit is definitely heavy. As the largest church in North America, Montreal's Notre Dame Cathedral has been mentioned in the light and shadow technology just now, but obviously everyone has seen that when it is beautifully dressed up, it is definitely less than what it looks like "without makeup".

Celine Dean, the goddess who sang "My Heart Will Go On", got married in this church. Pavarotti once held a solo concert in this cathedral. The reputation of Notre Dame Cathedral cannot be underestimated. , the church is magnificent, magnificent, blue ceiling and neo-Gothic stained glass, all attracting the attention of tourists.

Today we have experienced the regret of Notre Dame de Paris, and we have paid more attention to the protection of intangible cultural heritage. "Notre Dame Cathedral is also known as the Little Notre Dame de Paris." Visitors who have never been to Paris may wish to come here to appreciate its charm.

St. Joseph's Cathedral

Faith high in the clouds

Address: 3800 Chemin Queen Mary, Montréal

Shift your sights to Mount Royal, the same They are religious buildings. The styles of St. Joseph's Cathedral and Notre Dame Cathedral are very different. Who would have imagined that the tallest building in Montreal is actually a church. St. Joseph's Cathedral is 150 meters high, divided into two floors, with more than 4,000 seats. To reach the top of the church, you have to take an elevator.

"St. Joseph's Cathedral" has won the admiration of countless people for its grand exterior, exquisite interior carvings, and many exquisite murals and window decorations.

Compared with the solemnity of Notre Dame Cathedral, St. Joseph’s Cathedral is a little more beautiful and romantic. The lit candles and rose petals in the plastic cups remind us of the scene of young people courting.

The church also has a story of "wonderful hands and benevolent heart": it is said that Brother Andre once cured many people with disabilities using the lamp oil in the church, and the huge group of crutches in the underground church are witnesses. , so there are many believers who are ill and on crutches in the church. No matter where you are in the world, religious stories are always so wonderful.

The "Meng" cute literary and artistic style is the true meaning of the museum here

The "in front of thousands of people" mentioned before, in the eyes of different people, a city will appear Different appearances, fickleness comes from it, wisdom comes from it, simplicity comes from it, literature and art comes from it. Montreal is often seen as the crystallization of three different cultures: New French style, British culture and the essence of the First Nations. Teacher Gao Xiaosong also said that Montreal is the historical capital of Maple Leaf Country with profound literature and art. In my eyes, its literature, art and fresh elements are just right.
