Niagara Falls

The name of Niagara Falls comes from the Indian language, which means "water of the god of thunder". It is the general name of three waterfalls on the Niagara River in the Great Lakes region of North America. It is known as the world's three major transnational waterfalls along with Iguazu Falls and Victoria Falls. Niagara Falls is famous for its beautiful scenery, huge hydroelectric power generation capacity and extremely challenging environmental protection projects. The entire waterfall spans Ontario, Canada and New York State, USA, forming the Niagara Gorge in the south. Among them, the Horseshoe Falls is located on the border between the United States and Canada, and the American Falls are all located in the United States and separated by Goat Island. The smaller Bridal Veil Falls is also in the United States, separated from the American Falls by Luna Island.

Voyage to the Falls Boat Tour

The Niagara Falls boat is always the most famous way to have fun at Niagara Falls. Put on a thin red raincoat, take the white double-decker cruise ship, and the most exciting waterfall trip will begin. The Niagara Falls boat, which looks quite historic but very sturdy, will bravely sail all the way from the river bank to the waterfall and enter the horseshoe-shaped center circle of the waterfall. The abundant river water rushes towards you like a thousand horses galloping. Suddenly, the strangers on the boat seem to become the same boat. In the hazy water, you can personally feel the momentum and power of the waterfall. After leaving the storm circle, the cruise ship is like a small boat that has returned from a disaster, swaying towards the American Falls. When the weather is clear, the sunlight and water vapor interweave to form a long and beautiful rainbow, projected in front of the veritable "Rainbow Bridge".

Journey Behind the Falls

This is one of Niagara's oldest tourist hotspots. Take the elevator down 125 feet and through a short tunnel you will reach two outdoor observation decks and two entrances directly behind the falls. Walk to the upper and lower observation decks to experience the magic of Horseshoe Falls from directly below the falls. You will experience the spectacular sight of one-fifth of the world's fresh water rushing into the basin below. The height at the foot of the observation deck may make you "wet" or amazed, but don't forget that after all this, one-fifth of the world's fresh water, Niagara Falls, a must-see in a lifetime, will appear before your eyes!

Niagara In-Depth Tour

The Niagara Parkway is a 55 km (34 mi) scenic drive that runs parallel to the Niagara River from Fort Erie in the south to Niagara-on-the-Lake in the north. This parkway is one of the oldest parkways in Ontario.First, we will head to Maple Leaf Plaza, where you will learn about Canada's iconic maple leaf culture. Take the scenic Niagara Parkway to Niagara-on-the-Lake and visit the famous Niagara Parks Floral Clock. The surface of the floral clock is covered with up to 16,000 carpet plants and colorful annuals. Next, head to Niagara Whirlpool State Park, then to Niagara Power Vista, visit this renowned science popularization landmark. Finally, head to Niagara-on-the-Lake, a town that features beautiful shopping and is popular with tourists who stroll through the area to relive the glamour of the 1920s and 1930s.

Niagara Whirlpool State Park

The Niagara Whirlpool is 125 feet deep and was formed by water erosion 7,500 years ago. It is located where the Niagara River suddenly turns northeast from the northwest. The rapid river water flows back after the change of direction, forming a huge whirlpool. The park is very quiet, with barbecue pits and picnic tables. Standing on them, you can overlook the whirlpool below, which is very spectacular.
