Niagara Falls

Historically, in order to compete for this precious land, the United States and Canada fought a fierce war between 1812 and 1814. Neither side was able to defeat the other, so they had to cease fire and signed the "Treaty of Ghent", which stipulated that the Niagara River was shared by the two countries and the centerline of the main channel was the border between the two countries.



Since then, the two countries have built a sister city called Niagara Falls on each side of the falls, one belonging to Ontario, Canada, and the other to New York State, USA. The two cities are across the river from each other and are connected by the Rainbow Bridge. The flags of the United States, Canada and the United Nations are flying in the center of the bridge, with the Stars and Stripes in the south, the Maple Leaf flag in the north, and the United Nations flag in the middle.



Neither country maintains a single military presence here, allowing citizens to freely travel between them without border crossing procedures. This peaceful environment also allows Niagara Falls' rich tourism resources to bring even greater benefits to both countries. Niagara Falls stands as a model for peaceful development of natural resources between nations. As a monk, peace is the most precious value.

In reality, only one side of Niagara Falls is visible from the US, while Canada offers a panoramic view. Rainbow Bridge, connecting the US-Canada border, offers a stunning viewpoint, allowing visitors to cross into the US on foot. The emerald water behind the railings feels eerily close, as if within reach, and the thunderous roar of the falls inspires awe at the natural spectacle. It's said that over the decades, hundreds of people have sought celestial or adrenaline-fueled activities here, miraculously surviving. Their tools (mostly buckets) are on display at the Falls Museum. We weren't well-prepared and rushed, so we didn't get to see the falls from above or below. There are countless ways to view the falls—walking, climbing the observation tower, taking the elevator down to the bottom, taking a boat, reserving the best seats at a restaurant, or even entering the tunnel. Facing the surging waves, my heart truly pounded, and I lamented that my life wasn't as valuable as that tree in the water, unfazed by the raging current.

Although I live next to the waterfall, it is still very complicated to get close to the waterfall. I need to take this elevator. There are two elevators running back and forth.

We drove very slowly. We came to the visitor center next to the waterfall. From a distance, we could see three layers of tourists inside and outside.

It is worthy of being the most famous natural landscape in the world.

Finally I heard the roar of the waterfall.

I traveled thousands of miles and gave up the old city of Quebec.

Just for you,

We walked along the guardrail and the entire waterfall appeared before our eyes, which was amazing. Tomorrow we will also put on red raincoats and take a boat to experience the magic and power of the waterfall up close.

After observing for a while, I found that the boat would stay in front of the waterfall for quite a long time.

Then turn around and drive back so that the tourists at the stern can also take a frontal photo of the waterfall.

The rising water vapor turned into a pink girlish color under the reflection of the setting sun.

I silently hope to see a rainbow tomorrow.

Walking further, the water became much calmer.

You can see the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls across the United States.

On the way, we also happened to see the summer fireworks display over the waterfall.

The lawn by the waterfall is so beautiful that I really want to stay there for another day.

Admission is free, but parking is charged for vehicles. The main falls are located on the Canadian side, providing the best viewing point. On the American side, the falls are separated by Moon Island, allowing for a lateral view. We spent the entire day at Niagara Falls National Park, and after lunch, we took the Journey Behind the Falls tour. Located at the Stone Table Visitor Center, the tour takes an elevator down 38 meters to the Secret Tunnel, where we visit the observation deck and various viewing gates to admire Niagara Falls, Canada, from behind the surging Horseshoe Falls. The temperature outside is freezing, so wearing gloves is essential for taking photos. Remember to wear the provided raincoat and protect your camera, as the closer we get to the falls, the louder the splash. Seeing the falls up close is truly a truly remarkable experience. The best vantage point for nighttime photography is Skylon Tower. The falls at sunset are a different, more beautiful sight than during the day. The vibrant colors of the lights illuminated the falls, giving me a completely different perspective on Niagara Falls.

Although the waterfall is not high, it is very wide, so it is quite spectacular. The splashing water can be seen from far away on the plane!

Flocks of water birds guided us across the water, bringing us to the highlight of our trip. Everyone wore raincoats, but the massive spray pelted us without warning. The strong wind easily blew our hats off, sending water cascading down our necks. We couldn't open our eyes, and we couldn't tell which way the bow was heading. All we could hear was the screams of the people at the bow. The captain seemed particularly playful, intentionally lingering a few more turns. By the time we turned back to the dock, it felt like we'd just had our hair washed!

Niagara Falls consists of three sections, and you can see the entire falls from Canada. Looking across from here, you can see the United States, and the waterfall on the other side is the American Falls. Next to the falls is the Rainbow Bridge. The weather was absolutely perfect! It really showcased the falls's beauty!

Further ahead is the largest, horseshoe-shaped waterfall! It's truly breathtaking! The tourist boats dwarfed the waterfall. The majestic aura and the vast expanse of water vapor showcase the power and majesty of nature! It's truly breathtaking! Every visitor was snapping photos, exclaiming in admiration, and filled with excitement!

Then we got on the boat, wrapped ourselves up, and prepared to be "baptized" by the waterfall! Even though we were wearing bright red raincoats, we were still soaked all over, including our shoes and even our exposed phones!

The mist was so thick that it was impossible to capture the entire scene. The waterfall simply displayed its charm without hesitation, drenching you and captivating you! Finally, I gave up on filming and let myself simply savor the lapping of the mist. At this moment, we finally became so insignificant before nature, a mere spectacle in the eyes of others. Seize the last moment of the boat ride and capture this awkward yet blissful moment!

Niagara Falls was discovered by Native Americans and named the Waters of Thunder. On a clear day, you can see the mist rising from the falls from afar, which is quite spectacular. However, due to the rapid flow of the falls, which erodes the riverbed, the falls recede every year. We went in late October, and in a month the falls will be closed, so we won't be able to take the Maid of the Mist boat tour to see them up close. Across from the falls is Toronto, Canada, but unfortunately, the weather was always gloomy and unfavorable during our trip to the eastern US.

We took the Maid of the Mist to see the waterfall up close. Although I wore a raincoat, I was still soaked. It was really cool when the boat rushed into the waterfall. The splashing water made everyone on the boat scream.

Niagara Falls, located on the border of Ontario, Canada, and New York, USA, is one of the most famous wonders of the American continent and one of the world's three largest transnational waterfalls. Comprising the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls, the falls average 5,720 cubic meters per second, creating a thunderous roar and a truly spectacular sight.

Most of the falls face Canada, offering stunning views from within Canada. Tours include the Niagara Falls Horner Cruise, Whitewater Walk, Niagara Mist Brave Zipline, Behind the Falls Adventure, and Niagara Helicopters. Some activities include free raincoats. You can also make a day trip to downtown Toronto or stay overnight to enjoy the light show. At night, the vibrant lights illuminate the majestic falls, creating a truly spectacular sight. In the summer, there are also two nights of water fireworks displays.

As a world-famous waterfall, I think it is still worth a visit. You can choose to watch the waterfall on the shore or go down and take a boat to get closer to the waterfall (but your whole body will be wet because the water rushes down very quickly). I personally recommend not taking a boat to get close to the waterfall, it is also nice to watch the waterfall on the shore.

Niagara Falls, located on the border of Ontario, Canada, and New York, USA, is one of the most famous wonders of the American continent and one of the three largest transnational waterfalls in the world. The Falls consist of three sections: the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls. The water flows from the United States to Canada, offering a panoramic view of the falls from within Canada. Admission to the falls is free, but parking in the IMAX parking lot is $10 per day. Be prepared to pay for your parking ticket with coins. Remember to always place your parking ticket on your vehicle's windshield wherever you are in Canada, as staff regularly check to avoid tickets.

I live in the area of the falls, and the sight of them is truly something you never tire of. On a clear day, there's a good chance you'll see a rainbow. The evening fireworks are also a must-see. While the fireworks themselves aren't as dazzling as those in China, the waterfalls set against a stunning backdrop create a truly stunning sight. Of course, if you have the means, a boat trip to the falls is also a great option. I recommend taking a daytime boat trip in the summer, as you'll get soaked, and it can be a bit chilly in spring and autumn. The boats are closed in the winter, when temperatures drop and the lake freezes over. If you have any other inquiries, please add me on my WeChat official account. I can also help you plan your itinerary and arrange a self-drive trip.

After a long day of flying, we finally arrived in Buffalo at midnight yesterday. This afternoon, we visited Niagara Falls, considered the second largest waterfall in the world. The Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls are all incredibly stunning, and we felt the trip was well worth it.

The majestic waterfall is something I have longed to see, and it lives up to its reputation.

Recommended must-see attractions: (US side) Maid of the Mist, Cave of the Winds, Goat Island

One of the seven wonders of the world is immersive and shocking.

The river that forms the natural border between the United States and Canada is majestic and magnificent.

The first floor of the Niagara Falls Visitor Center sells tourist products and souvenirs, as well as a number of restaurants, but the prices are generally high, which is understandable given the scenic area. The second floor seems to sell clothes, but the quality is average.

Niagara Falls is truly breathtaking. You can't truly appreciate its sheer magnitude without seeing it firsthand, and you can't truly feel its power without getting wet yourself. Niagara Falls actually consists of three waterfalls. The largest, Horse Shoe Falls, is shared by both the United States and Canada. Next in line are America Falls and the smallest, Bride Veil Falls.

Except for the boat ride and the wind tunnel, everything else in the Great Falls Park is free. After seeing the falls, we walked around Goat Island. The surrounding pristine ecological environment is excellent. Some tributaries of the Great Falls flow happily. There are few people and the air is fresh. I saw someone painting an oil painting of a stream in the afterglow of the sunset. I like traveling not only because of the excitement and surprises, but also because of this kind of simple happiness.

The buildings in Canada on the other side of the river are clearly visible, but if you calm down, it seems that the only sounds you can hear are the calls of seabirds and the sound of rushing water.

One of the three largest waterfalls in the world, it is also the largest waterfall in North America. It is a must-see attraction when visiting the United States and Canada. I went there in winter when the temperature was below 10 degrees Celsius and I couldn't take a boat. However, the water volume of the waterfall was not small. I was surprised that there was no entrance fee. There was a lot of water vapor on the viewing platform, which was very shocking. Canada is just across the way.

Speaking of grandeur and majesty, no matter how magnificent it is, Iceland, which I visited last year, is really a bit boring in comparison.

The Horseshoe Falls is truly spectacular! The other side of the waterfall is the United States, and the bridge in the distance is the cross-border bridge to the United States. The falls are indeed a bit deserted in winter, and the tour boats have stopped.

In fact, everyone is familiar with the scenery of the waterfall, but they just want to go there. I have to say that ice wine is more worth looking forward to than the waterfall itself.

Because I bought a package ticket, it also included three waterfall projects, one is a 4D movie, one is a visit behind the horseshoe-shaped waterfall, and the other is the Maid of the Mist.

Because the project is quite classic, there are a lot of tourists. But it is still worth visiting, at least better than the American section, which only has a small boat to play.

The sound in the center of the waterfall was really huge. The water soaked my whole body and I couldn’t take any photos at all. I just experienced it. I was quite embarrassed!!!

It’s best to watch it from the Canadian side, the view is said to be even better!

It's more stunning and spectacular than I imagined... I love this place~ The weather is also very good, I'm super happy

I never get tired of watching it... I even took a video... After all, static pictures are not enough to express the shock... I have to enjoy both the visual and auditory experience~

The weather wasn't great the day we visited; it was overcast and rainy. But that didn't stop people from going to Niagara Falls. The parking lot was nearly full when we arrived, so we found a paid parking lot a little further away and walked to the area surrounding Niagara Falls. There are actually two waterfalls: Horseshoe Falls and Niagara Falls, but Niagara Falls is the more spectacular.

The world's three largest transnational waterfalls cannot be felt from a distance. It is recommended to take a boat tour to feel the majestic

Walking to the bank, the deep green lake water and the three waterfalls that caught my eye were truly stunning. I have seen many strange and magnificent waterfalls in Iceland, but Niagara Falls is truly breathtaking in its grandeur.

The environment is good, there is a parking lot next to it, and there are special supporting facilities for eating. You can enjoy the panoramic view of the entire waterfall. The service time is short, unlike in China. We arrived early and walked along the way to see the scenery. It was very shocking to feel the majestic momentum, fog and water vapor on a rainy day. One side is the United States and the other side is Canada.

Niagara Falls is located in a park that's free to enter. You can enjoy the falls for free. However, if you want a more complete experience, you should definitely purchase a park pass, which includes several activities. I highly recommend taking the Maid of the Mist ride to experience the falls up close!

Niagara Falls is divided into the American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls. On the American side, you can see the full American Falls and the Horseshoe Falls from the side. The Horseshoe Falls is undoubtedly the most stunning, so many people head to the Canadian side to see it up close. But you can also experience it with the Maid of the Mist! The Maid of the Mist departs from both the US and Canada, passing the American Falls before reaching the Horseshoe Falls. It's a thrilling experience to be up close and personal with the cataract, feeling like it's pouring rain!

We arrived at the falls at 6:00. There's a boat tour that lets you see the falls up close. Regular tickets are available before 8:00, but after 8:00 there's a light show and fireworks on weekends. Prices vary. The boat boarding point is a bit far from the ticket office. We happened to have already taken a boat when we arrived, and the next one was at 6:20. It was incredibly packed, which was a good thing. The boat boarding point is closer to the secondary falls, and the route goes from the secondary falls to the main falls and back. Raincoats are provided before boarding, but I was worried about getting my shoes wet, so I brought shoe covers. It wasn't necessary, as the boat wasn't close enough to splash into the falls; it just shielded me from the mist, preventing my shoes from getting wet. Being up close to the falls allows you to fully appreciate their majesty. The main falls, with their massive volume, create a mist that completely obscures them, creating a white haze that makes it difficult to see clearly. Since sunset was at 6:30, it was still light on our way there, but dark on our way back. The light reflected on the falls was fantastical. The mist from the main falls surged into the sky like a whirlwind, a truly magnificent sight.

Spectacular and shocking

Come here and see life without regrets

Booked a day trip to Niagara Falls on Honeycomb

Gathered at 222 Spadina Ave Chinatown at 7:30 AM and took a look at Chinatown.

Niagara Falls is located on the border of Ontario, Canada, and New York, USA. Its source is the Niagara River. The main falls (Horseshoe Falls) are located on the Canadian side and are the best viewing spot. The American Falls (American Falls and Bridalveil Falls) are separated by Luna Island. These two falls and the island belong to the United States, so you can only see the side of the falls. The border between the two countries is divided by the middle of the Niagara River. It is said that the water flow is decreasing annually.



Watch the IMAX movie first, which is not very meaningful, it is mainly a must-see for tour groups.

The movie revealed that "Niagara Falls" is also known as Lagoko Falls. "Niagara" means "water of the thunder god" in Native American. Native Americans believed the roar of the falls was the voice of the thunder god. Before they actually saw the falls, they heard a sound resembling continuous thunder, so they called it "Onguiaahra" (later called Niagara), meaning "huge water mine."



Then we climbed up the Skylon Tower. It is not high, but you can clearly see Buffalo in the United States.



After lunch, we went on a boat trip. The raincoat we were given didn't cover my arms and legs, and they got completely soaked on the second floor.

At nine o'clock, we put on the red raincoats distributed by the scenic area, boarded the Homblower cruise ship, and headed towards the depths of the waterfall.

The first thing we approached was the American Falls, a curtain of water draped between heaven and earth. From afar, we could hear the roaring and surging water. Everyone quickly put away their devices, but I put my phone in a waterproof bag I had prepared and continued to fight on, taking photos non-stop.

At first, there were only flying flowers and splashing jade, and fine water mist hit your face. As the distance to the waterfall got closer and closer, amid the screams of everyone on the boat, the cruise ship rushed towards the pouring curtain of water. The water poured down like a cold shower, making it impossible to open your eyes.

After wiping our wet faces, we were thrust into the even more turbulent Canadian Falls, still trembling with fear. The force of the downpour was so overwhelming, this time we couldn't even scream, afraid to open our mouths. Let the storm get even more intense.

The boat quickly passed under the waterfall, and the twenty-minute trip was over. Looking back at the magnificent waterfall, I couldn't believe I had such a wonderful experience. Looking at the people around me, all soaked, I was lucky we had taken precautions, so it was nothing serious.

The Canadian government has spared no effort in developing the falls's tourism resources. In addition to nighttime light shows and daytime boat tours, there are cable cars and tunnels leading up to the falls, as well as a revolving restaurant at the top of the tower where guests can dine and enjoy the view, allowing everyone to experience the falls from different perspectives. Best of all, this national scenic spot is free!

From afar, you can hear the mighty roar of the cascading falls, your heart pounding with excitement. Up close, the roaring water and the mist swirling before both the American and Canadian Falls are breathtaking. To allow visitors to fully appreciate the falls and experience their majesty, both the US and Canada have built observation decks on their respective banks. They also have docks along the river, home to the Maid of the Mist. Since 1846, this famous boat has been bringing visitors up close and personal with the falls. This is the American boat, and visitors are wearing blue raincoats. The boat then sailed to Canada's Horseshoe Falls. As we got closer, the falls felt like a wall. The mist was so thick that I couldn't open my eyes. My camera had already been put away, and I kept snapping away with my selfie stick, completely oblivious to the effect. From within the US, you can't get a full view of the Horseshoe Falls, whether from a boat or an observation deck. Canada's Horseshoe Falls puts on a nighttime light show, creating a truly unique spectacle with the vibrant colors of the night lights illuminating the majestic waterfall. The crystal-clear, blue water is a feast for the eyes. I wonder if the waters of our Yangtze and Yellow Rivers could be this beautiful.

The Niagara River forms the dividing line between the US and Canada. The most beautiful Horseshoe Bend Falls is on the Canadian side, while the more modest falls are on the American side. A rainbow bridge connects the two countries. The Canadian side of the boats uses red raincoats, while the American side wears blue ones to distinguish them. Taking a boat trip to the foot of the falls and looking up, it's like Jesus sending a flood from heaven to flood the world again in the Bible's end times. It's absolutely breathtaking! The boat trip is well worth it. The floral clock is beautiful, and the whirlpool corner offers stunning views at sunset. The bus ride back to downtown, under a blanket of overcast skies, creates a desolate feeling.

Niagara Falls, located on the Niagara River on the border between the United States and Canada, ranks among the highest waterfalls in the world.

Shocked, wet, and lingering, it was the most unforgettable day of this Canadian trip

One of the seven wonders of the world, it's really worth a visit. The scenery is different in each season, and you must take a boat ride! It's really shocking!

Although Niagara Falls is shared by both countries, the best viewing spot is on the Canadian side. While in the US, you're sitting on the side of the stage, in Canada, you're in the VIP area, facing the main stage, with a panoramic view of the entire falls. The Americans, however, have built a long trestle bridge extending into the lake on their side, offering a perfect view of the falls.



Standing on the observation deck, you can see the Niagara River with an average flow of 5,720 cubic meters per second. It rushes down from a cliff more than 50 meters high with an overwhelming and thunderous force. After rushing down the cliff and reuniting, it rolls and leaps in the canyon, performing the world's wildest, most terrifying and most dangerous whirlpool rapids, flowing from west to east into Lake Ontario. This spectacular sight really cannot be expressed in simple words. Only when you see it with your own eyes can you empathize with it.

While the Canadian Falls are only six meters higher than the American Falls, they're far more breathtaking and awe-inspiring. The torrent of water crashes over the cliff face with the force of a thunderbolt, creating a roar that can be heard dozens of meters away.

Of course, in addition to quietly admiring the waterfall from the stands, you can also take a boat tour for a close-up view.

There are three types of cruises. One is the most common daytime cruise that we took, which lasts 20 minutes and is the cheapest. The remaining two are night cruises, which last 40 minutes. The difference is that one only has lights, and the other has both lights and fireworks. Since fireworks are not on every day, the price is definitely more expensive.

PS: You can buy it online in advance for a slightly cheaper price. You don't need to exchange tickets; just scan the barcode for the staff. Raincoats are given before boarding, but they're useless. I still got soaked. So, I recommend taking the daytime boat. It's too cold at night, and getting splashed in the wind is not pleasant!



We donned our raincoats, eager to plunge into the swirling mist and experience the thrilling, cleansing feeling of the world. As the boat slowly moved forward, a gentle drizzle gradually transformed into a downpour, pouring directly onto our heads. Getting wet became a ritual, and everyone on board reveled in the experience. The deafening roar of the waterfall echoed with the uncontrollable screams and exclamations of admiration. Though only 20 minutes long, it marked the most exciting moment of our trip to Eastern Canada.

Maple Avenue begins at Niagara Falls, the world-famous waterfall that straddles the border between the United States and Canada. We took a Hornboat boat tour, and the closer we got to the falls, the more breathtaking the scenery became. At Niagara Falls, a world wonder with a 200-foot drop, the sight of the surging water cascading down with thunderous force and the majestic rush of water was breathtaking.

The photo doesn't do it justice, the rising steam has a hazy beauty. There are a lot of tourists on weekends, so taking photos is very difficult.

Niagara Falls' water comes from the Great Lakes, and there's no rainy or dry season; the amount of water is the same every day of the year. From the observation deck, you can see two falls: a flat one and a horseshoe-shaped one. The horseshoe-shaped one belongs entirely to Canada, while the flat one belongs to the United States. Both the US and Canada can see the falls, but the view from the front is from Canada, while the view from the US is from the back. To allow for a better view of the falls, the US even built a broken bridge. Boats are available to view the falls from both sides, and visitors wear different colored raincoats to distinguish them: orange for Canada and blue for the US. The tour guide said this was to prevent illegal crossings, but looking at the turbulent water, I wondered who would try this method.

The Horseshoe Falls account for 80% of the total volume of the Grand Falls, making them even more spectacular than the Flat Falls. We took a sightseeing boat to get a close-up look at the Grand Falls. The immense volume of water cascading down from the heights created a thunderous roar. The Horseshoe Falls, in particular, felt like a curtain of water several meters thick. The massive amount of water splashed onto the river surface, sending mist hundreds of meters high. In photos, the mist appeared even higher than the falls. Standing by the boat, the difference between the two falls was palpable. While the Flat Falls' mist was thick, I could still manage to take photos and video. However, at the Horseshoe Falls, the boat was still quite far away, and the mist hit like a heavy rain. I had to duck sideways to avoid it. The mist and wind howled, making it difficult to breathe.

Since we were on a tour group, our schedule was tight. If we were traveling independently, we could have walked along the observation deck to see Niagara Falls from different angles. We could also have cycled or strolled along the gorge's scenic trails to fully appreciate the surrounding natural and cultural landscapes. I felt we were rushed this time; the tour guide rushed us off before we had seen enough.

There's a video of Niagara Falls on TikTok that's received over 10,000 likes. The videographer admitted to keeping his eyes closed the entire time... the steam was so thick it was impossible to open them! That's exactly how awe-inspiring the Falls feels. The decades-old "Hornet" Falls boat tour is the most popular way to see the falls. Donning a red raincoat, the boat's bow plunges into the thick mist... Get soaked to the bone and feel the chill!

The weather was great and I saw a double rainbow. There were a lot of people there, but it didn't affect the photos.

One of the three largest transnational waterfalls in the world, it is very spectacular. You can get close to the waterfall by boat, but you must take waterproof measures.

I'd heard about this waterfall since I first arrived in the United States, and I'd always wanted to find time to experience its majesty. A two-hour drive brought me here in less than a minute. Stepping off the bus from Las Vegas, I was greeted by a cool ocean breeze, and the sight of the misty white falls was a refreshing revelation. We quickly grabbed lunch on Friday and eagerly headed towards the falls, eager to get closer and experience its beauty, its wonder, and its grandeur. Nature is truly a magnificent and skilled engineer. We boarded the Voyage to the Falls boat, getting even closer, even touching the water. We even had the opportunity to sail right up to the falls and experience the impact of the water crashing against the water. The short 20-minute boat ride fulfilled my endless fascination with Niagara Falls. We bought tickets to the observation deck and gazed down at the falls. Due to the weather, we didn't see the most stunning Rainbow Falls. Every journey has its regrets. Perhaps the best of it will be saved for another time when we can share it as a family.

Be sure to keep going along the road so that you can see a more comprehensive view of the falls. You can also walk for about 20 minutes to the lakeside falls town (of course, you can also take the WEGO BUS to the right of the visitor center, a single ticket is $7), where there are various haunted houses, amusement centers, and souvenir shops.

You should definitely see the falls from the Canadian side, where it's more complete and beautiful. The other side of the Rainbow Bridge is the US, so people from both sides probably travel back and forth frequently. US dollars are accepted here, too. If you have a US visa, you can easily enter the US once.

While I was looking at the waterfalls, a seabird flew straight for the bread in my hand. I was so scared that I ran away, but it kept chasing me! If I hadn't reacted quickly and ran away, I think it would have snatched the bread from me! In English Bay in Vancouver, something I didn't know whether it was a goose or a duck kept chasing me because I had fries in my hand. It took the Canadian woman next door to help me chase it away. The animals here are so arrogant! It seems that Canadians are very pampered with their animals. Where do they put human authority?

If you're traveling from downtown Toronto to the Falls by public transportation, the most recommended option is to take the Megabus bus from the Toronto Coach Terminal. Tickets can be booked online in advance, and are usually cheaper than buying on the day. Alternatively, you can take the train from Union Station. Via Rail, Canada's national passenger rail service, offers spacious and comfortable carriages, but its drawbacks are that it operates infrequently and is relatively expensive. Another option is intercity GO Transit, which involves taking a Go Train and then a Go Bus. The service runs frequently, but it can take a bit longer.



It’s about 150 kilometers from North York, and if you’re lucky, it’ll take an hour and a half to drive (there are two sections that are particularly prone to traffic), and you’ll reach Niagara Falls, a great weekend getaway destination.

During the summer (usually from May to October), Niagara Falls hosts a five-minute fireworks display every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at 10 p.m. I checked the official website and found out that this year, even better, you'll have the chance to see the fireworks every night from June 18th to September 13th.



Unfortunately, the weather was a bit bad the night we visited, and the second half of the five-minute beautiful fireworks display was completely lost in the thick mist. If you're interested and aren't afraid of the dark, you can take a boat ride closer to the waterfall to enjoy the fireworks.

A stay of one or two is a must. The view rooms at the hotel across from the falls are probably one of the best in the world, and the accommodation experience is fantastic. Enjoy panoramic views of the falls 24 hours a day. There are fireworks at 10 p.m. Friday through Sunday. The falls are even illuminated at night.

Standing by the falls is a truly thunderous sound, bringing a powerful visual impact. The falls offer a variety of vantage points for viewing. From the shore and the observation tower, the elevator to the tower's top observation deck is half-glazed, allowing visitors to admire the scenery as the elevator ascends and descends.

The tower houses a theater and a playground, and the top floor is a revolving restaurant. Viewing Niagara Falls from the Canadian side is even better than from the American side. Besides viewing from the shore, climbing the observation tower, or taking a boat tour, a boat tour feels like stepping into a water curtain cave. The torrential downpour of water pelts down on you, and even the best raincoat can't withstand the cascading spray and mist. Furthermore, thanks to the mist created by the cascading falls, rainbows are often visible on the shore!

Just the sound alone makes me fall in love with it. Canada is right across the street, within easy reach. The blue light shines freely on the gurgling water. If I wasn't so cold that my teeth were chattering, I would definitely find a place to sit down and relax...

I'd always seen it from the US, and it was always a quick pass. This was my first time seeing the falls at night from Canada, and I took a ride on the Farris Wheel. The view from the top was truly different from the daytime scenery. I woke up this morning, bought an Adventure Pass, and hit all the attractions. I got soaked three times through three raincoats at four attractions, but thankfully the sun was shining brightly.

You have to go! It's so spectacular! The entire scenic area is free, but there is a fee to go to the tower to see the night view.

The waterfall is stunning, and if you stay overnight, you can also watch the light show at night, which is great! The only thing worth criticizing is that the waiting time for the boat is too long, and the line is sky-high!

It is recommended to take a tour, it is very exciting to get close to the waterfall!

There is another viewing and playing mode, the zipline.

Niagara Falls looks magnificent during the day, but it presents a completely different scene at night.

You have to wear more clothes when viewing the waterfall at night. I was frozen after standing there for over an hour, but it still wasn’t enough!

This flow rate and volume are so spectacular!

  

The scenery is even more beautiful in winter. The waterfall has different feelings when viewed from the United States and Canada.

The waterfall area is quite crowded, so it's best to avoid peak hours to get some great photos. I heard there's a light show at the waterfall at night, so be sure to check it out; it's supposed to be beautiful.

It's easy to get wet in strong winds, so if you're worried, bring your own raincoat. There's plenty of parking nearby. After your fun, you can explore the surrounding museums, amusement parks, and duty-free shops.

A great waterfall, worth a special visit

Niagara Falls is actually a waterfall complex consisting of three falls. The falls in the picture are the American Falls and Bridalveil Falls on the American side. Horseshoe Falls is shared by both countries and is best viewed from the Canadian side. The "Niagara Falls" often referred to refers to Horseshoe Falls.

A long waterfall viewing trail has been constructed on the Canadian side, offering a clear frontal view of the falls and the spectacular, surging waters of the Horseshoe Falls, a truly breathtaking spectacle. However, the strong vapors on the Horseshoe Falls side, combined with the wind, create a light rain, making photography difficult and easily getting cameras and phones wet. There's no entrance fee, but you do need a ticket to take the boat to the base of the falls. Regardless of the price, I recommend taking a boat ride to get up close and personal with the falls, experiencing their immense power, thunderous roar, and breathtaking scenery. The thrill and excitement of passing the American Falls and entering the heart of the Horseshoe Falls is unforgettable.

The Horseshoe Falls, viewed from the waterfall viewing trail, is even more spectacular with its spray. This is how you get up close and personal with the falls from a cruise ship.

When viewing the falls from a boat, be sure to wear a raincoat. Make sure to waterproof your phone, camera, and other electronic devices! It's best to wear a windbreaker as the water will quickly soak you. As the boat reached Horseshoe Falls, a massive mist poured down like a tidal wave. Now I think I should have brought a towel to wipe off the mist that instantly blurred my eyes. The two photos below show watermarks on my camera lens due to water damage. Don't worry, the camera is fine; I used a raincoat for it!

Niagara Falls can be viewed in both the United States and Canada, but photography enthusiasts should try (definitely) to choose Canada as the falls flow from the United States to Canada, which means that the Canadian angle of view is a panoramic photo, while the American angle is a partial photo. When you stand on the American side to take a photo, you are facing Canada (Canada is facing the falls).

We took a helicopter to see the waterfall, and the view was amazing. I highly recommend it to everyone. I booked it on China-TravelNote. It was a sunny day when we went there, and we saw a rainbow. The park shuttle bus included in the package was very convenient!

The waterfalls in Canada are much more spectacular than those in the United States!

Shocking and spectacular

You must take a boat tour to see it clearly

Niagara Falls is truly magnificent. Looking down from above doesn't give you the full experience; you absolutely have to take a boat ride to see it up close. It's so... The raincoats provided don't actually block water at all; they only protect your bag. The water and wind near the falls can be quite disastrous, but it's incredibly refreshing. Remember to wait for a rainbow; it's the perfect complement to the falls.

I have seen the waterfall at four in the morning, it was absolutely beautiful.

Niagara Falls is located in the town of Niagara Falls. Surrounding this famous attraction, the surrounding town is richly developed and well-developed. We drove there from Toronto, which took about two hours. Before reaching the falls, we passed through this small town, which offers many small eateries, souvenir shops, and an amusement park, perfect for enjoying the scenery. The weather on our arrival day was initially unfavorable, with strong winds and heavy rain. The falls were even more powerful under the rain, and the wind-blown spray seemed to merge with the sky. Niagara Falls is world-renowned, so it's no wonder that it attracts many tourists. Many people choose to take the ferry to experience the falls up close. My friend said it was a game of experiencing the effect of being drenched in water. Since it was still raining and quite cold, we gave up the idea of getting drenched and instead found a restaurant on the second floor, where we could enjoy the view from above. Fortunately, the weather cleared up, and we were able to see a rainbow. Climbing the observation tower at night to enjoy the night view of the falls is also a wonderful experience. The entire city is also breathtaking at night. If time permits, we recommend staying in the city for a night.

Niagara Falls is one of the three largest waterfalls in the world. It originates from the Niagara River and spans the border between the United States and Canada. Niagara Falls is actually composed of three waterfalls: Horseshoe Falls (also called Canadian Falls), American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls.

The original formation of Niagara Falls dates back to the last ice age, about 16,000 years ago, when the Wisconsin glaciers in the northern part of North America began to melt, forming the Great Lakes and the Niagara River. About 12,000 years ago, the strata broke here in the Niagara Gorge, forming Niagara Falls.



The name of Niagara Falls comes from the Indian language, which means "water of the thunder god". The Indians believed that before seeing the falls, they could hear the huge sound of flowing water from afar, and only the thunder god had such a loud voice.



The first person to discover Niagara Falls was French explorer Étienne Brûlé, who discovered the falls in 1626. He did not leave any written records, but instead reported his discovery to his patron Samuel de Champlain, who drew and published the first map of Niagara in 1632.



The American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls are located in the United States, side by side. If you don't look carefully, you might think they are just one waterfall. The two waterfalls are separated by Luna Island. The larger one is the American Falls, which is 320 meters wide and has a drop of between 27.5 and 36.5 meters. The smaller one is Bridal Veil Falls, which is only 14 meters wide and has the same drop as the American Falls.

Compared with the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, Canada's Horseshoe Falls is much more magnificent. It is separated from the American Falls by Goat Island. The Horseshoe Falls is 823 meters wide and has a drop of 51 meters. It is the largest waterfall in North America. In terms of water flow, it is the second largest in the world after Victoria Falls in Africa. More than 168,000 cubic meters of water flows through the falls every minute, which is about the amount of water in 70 Olympic swimming pools. Such a large amount of water will rush down the falls at a speed of 25 miles per hour. It is conceivable that you can feel its power and hear its sound from a distance.

We traveled from Buffalo to Niagara Falls. From quite a distance, we could hear a tremendous roar. As we approached the Falls, we were stunned by the surging water and rising mist. The mighty force of the Falls, the thunderous roar, the tumbling and cascading cascades were truly magnificent. The awe you experience can only be felt in person, and it's unprecedented. Niagara Falls comprises the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls. It's considered the world's largest transnational waterfall and a global wonder, alongside Iguazu Falls and Victoria Falls, one of the world's three largest transnational waterfalls.

There was a light show online, and I was super lucky to catch the fireworks display!

This is truly spectacular! You absolutely must go! You absolutely must take a boat ride. When the boat approaches the falls, you'll feel like you're in a dreamland, facing the splashing water. It's so beautiful it seems unreal. You absolutely must experience it for yourself!

The closer you get to the falls, the thicker the mist and vapor become, and the thunderous roar is deafening. You're truly astonished by the power of nature; the scene is as breathtaking as the blockbuster "The Day After Tomorrow." There are two docks downstream, one in the United States and one in Canada. Cruise ships from both countries carry daring tourists, determined to advance toward the falls. Of course, you can't get directly to the falls, so you can only get as close as possible to experience the earth-shaking sensation up close. However, driven by the huge waves, the thousands-ton ships can only sway like leaves, and you can imagine how fast the hearts of those on board are beating.

There is an underground passage under the waterfall. After buying a ticket, you can go down directly to the side of the waterfall and feel the power of ten thousand tons of water at a closer distance. However, you must wear a raincoat, otherwise you will definitely become a drowned chicken. . . . .

We joined a local Western tour group. Since my son was the youngest, we were given the special privilege of holding the "team flag" at the head of the group. Unfortunately, he was so engrossed in the fun that he carried it all the way back home. Before the boat set sail, the sky was overcast. By the time we reached the falls, we couldn't tell whether it was the splashing waterfall or the cascading rain. But after 12 minutes, we turned back and found the sun was shining brightly. Rainbows were a common sight, and so were the "double eyelids." Finally, we reached the source of the falls, and it was serene and calm.

This name used to be something out of reach of textbooks, but when I saw it with my own eyes, I was shocked. It was indeed something that should be in the textbooks. Standing next to it, the water of the waterfall was already pouring down like rain, and the magnificent sight made people forget their own wetness.

The weather was a bit overcast today, and the sun wasn't out when we took the Maid of the Mist ride, so the photos didn't turn out well. But being there in person was truly breathtaking. I'm planning to go back tomorrow!

The Niagara River connects Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and separates New York State in the United States and Ontario in Canada. As it flows over the approximately 350-meter-wide Goat Island, it plunges into a bluff and splits into two waterfalls, forming the Horseshoe Falls and the American Falls. Bridalville Falls is separated from the other falls by Luna Island.

Take the scenic bus south, passing Bridalveil Falls, American Falls, and Horseshoe Falls. Each waterfall is more stunning than the last. The Horseshoe Falls plunge into the Table Rock Center, a truly spectacular sight. On a clear day, you can see rainbows from all angles beneath the falls. The walkway between American Falls and Horseshoe Falls offers stunning views, allowing you to capture the majestic falls from every angle. Recommended activities include the Hornblower Niagara cruise and the Journey Behind the Falls. You can also take the elevator up to the tower for a panoramic view of the falls.
