Things to know about the Niagara Falls

關(guān)于尼亞加拉大瀑布的知識

Niagara Falls is the most famous waterfall in North America with over 10 million visitors each year. It is a combination of 3 adjacent beautiful waterfalls, including Horseshoe Fall on the Canadian side, American Falls in the middle of the US-Canada border and a smaller waterfall named Bridal Veil Fall. This majestic waterfall was discovered in the 17th century thanks to Louis Ennepin, who discovered St. Anthony Falls. The name Niagara is derived from "Onguiaahra" in Iroquois meaning "god of thunder" or "roar of water". They said that the roar of the waterfall is the Thunder god talking.

尼亞加拉瀑布是北美最著名的瀑布，每年有超過1000萬的游客。它是3個相鄰的美麗瀑布的組合，包括加拿大一側(cè)的馬蹄瀑布，美加邊境中部的美國瀑布和一個較小的名為新娘面紗的瀑布。這座雄偉的瀑布是由發(fā)現(xiàn)圣安東尼瀑布的路易斯·恩內(nèi)平在17世紀(jì)發(fā)現(xiàn)的。尼亞加拉這個名字來源于易洛魁語中的“Onguiaahra”，意思是“雷之神”或“水聲”。他們說，瀑布的咆哮聲是雷神的聲音。

Although not possessing impressive height, Niagara Falls are very wide. Horseshoe Fall is wider than 790m and American Falls is 323m wide. Not only that, Niagara also has the largest water reserve in the world with an average water flow of 6,740m3. Intense water falling from three large waterfalls has formed a huge lake with a depth of 55m. Coming here, you will be able to see firsthand the large lake with torrential water pouring down and creating white foam.

雖然沒有令人印象深刻的高度，但尼亞加拉大瀑布非常寬。馬蹄瀑布寬超過790米，美國瀑布寬323米。不僅如此，尼亞加拉還擁有世界上最大的水資源儲備，平均流量為6740立方米。三個大瀑布傾瀉而下的激流形成了一個深達(dá)55米的大湖。來到這里，你將能夠親眼看到巨大的湖泊，洶涌的水傾瀉而下，形成白色的泡沫。

Spring

春天

The temperature here is quite low, so even in spring, the weather is still quite cold. The best time to visit the waterfall in spring is between April and early May, when the temperature gets warmer and the tourism activities here begin to reopen. The Niagara Botanical Garden with a rich variety of vegetation will welcome you to explore and especially, free of charge. Other activities are also quite affordable because this is the beginning of the season when there are not many tourists, you can comfortably play without worrying about crowds like in summer or autumn.

這里的氣溫很低，所以即使在春天，天氣仍然很冷。春天參觀瀑布的最佳時間是在4月到5月初之間，這時氣溫開始回升，旅游活動開始重新開放。擁有豐富植被的尼亞加拉植物園歡迎您的探索，是免費(fèi)的。其他的活動也很實(shí)惠，因?yàn)檫@是季節(jié)的開始，沒有很多游客，你可以舒服地玩，而不用擔(dān)心像夏天或秋天那樣的擁擠。

Summer

夏天

Summer from around late June to early September is the peak tourist time in Niagara. Here, you can have fun on the two-story cruise ship named Maid of the Mist going around Niagara Falls, enjoying the cool water spray. North of the Horseshoe Falls is the White Water Walk. You can stand on the riverside bridge and admire the beautiful scenery here. And don't forget to explore the tunnel maze that leads to the observatory right behind the fast-flowing waterfall.

6月底到9月初的夏季是尼亞加拉的旅游高峰期。在這里，你可以乘坐兩層樓高的“霧之女仆”號游船游覽尼亞加拉瀑布，享受清涼的水花。馬蹄瀑布北面是白水步道。你可以站在江橋上欣賞這里的美景。不要忘記探索通向觀測臺的隧道迷宮，它就在湍急的瀑布后面。

Fall

秋天

Autumn is the time when the Niagara Falls becomes the most gentle as the trees begin to bloom, creating a romantic picture. In particular, sometimes there appear extremely beautiful and shimmering rainbows making the Niagara Falls more beautiful. At this time, many tourists come to the waterfall to explore, take souvenir photos, especially couples in love.

秋天是尼亞加拉瀑布變得最溫柔的時候，樹木開始開花，創(chuàng)造了一幅浪漫的畫面。尤其是尼亞加拉大瀑布，有時會出現(xiàn)非常美麗的彩虹，閃閃發(fā)光，使它更加美麗。在這個時候，許多游客來到瀑布探索，拍攝紀(jì)念品照片，特別是情侶。

Winter

冬天

In winter, Niagara Falls has heavy snowfall and everything is frozen. So why should we travel to Niagara Falls in the winter? That is because in the winter, the water at the waterfall has completely frozen creating a very majestic and unique scenery. Especially from November to January every year, there is also a very shimmering and magical winter light festival with great lighting performances. In addition, experiencing the feeling of skating or walking on the frozen lake is also extremely interesting, and safe. Because the peak tourist season has ended, you can save quite a bit of room rent.

冬天，尼亞加拉大瀑布下大雪，一切都被凍住了。那么，我們?yōu)槭裁匆诙烊ツ醽喖永俨悸眯心?這是因?yàn)樵诙?，瀑布的水完全凍結(jié)，創(chuàng)造了一個非常雄偉和獨(dú)特的風(fēng)景。特別是每年的11月到1月，還有一個非常閃耀和神奇的冬季燈光節(jié)，燈光表演非常精彩。此外，在結(jié)冰的湖面上體驗(yàn)溜冰或散步的感覺也非常有趣，而且安全。由于旅游旺季已經(jīng)結(jié)束，你可以省下不少房租。
