Canadians have many natural wonders with enough lakes, mountains and rivers to explore fora lifetime. Here are some of the best waterfalls in Canada.
Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls, Ontario
Niagara Falls are the most famous waterfalls in Canada. They are actually made up of three different falls, with Horseshoe Falls being the only one located on the Canadian side. Different viewing choices are available including the Hornblower boat cruise(游船). In 2007, the base of the falls was referred to as “World’s End” in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End.
Bridal Veil Falls
Bridal Veil Falls Provincial Park, British Columbia
Bridal Veil Falls are located in the east of Chilliwack, British Columbia, and really do look like their name, with water gently pouring over smooth rock. An easy 15-minute walk to the falls takes you through rich leaves. Picnic tables are available, and there are lots of chances for viewing wild plants and animals along the way.
Takakkaw Falls
Yoho National Park, British Columbia
Takakkaw Falls are the second-highest waterfalls in Canada. After a drive up a wandering road, these falls are only a short hike from the parking lot. Even though the falls can be seen from far away, the wonderful up-close views, impressive sound and cold mist provide an awe-inspiring (使人敬畏的)sensory experience.
Virginia Falls
Nahanni National Park Reserve, Northwest Territories
Coming in at twice the height of Niagara Falls, Virginia Falls are located on the South Nahanni River in the Northwest Territories. Virginia Falls are also called “Nailicho”, which means “big river falling” in the South Slavey language. These falls are very much out-of-the-way, which means they receive only about 1,000 visitors every year.

【推荐1】The best places to visit in New Zealand
While there are a few cities in the country, what makes New Zealand special is its natural beauty. To find the best places to visit in New Zealand, try exploring a little further a field to truly experience what this beautiful country has to offer.
Coromandel: Best for beautiful beaches
Situated on the east coast of New Zealand’s North Island, the Coromandel region is renowned for its beautiful beaches and native bush. In here you’ll find the iconic Cathedral Cove, with a natural rock archway and sandy beaches, and Hot Water Beach, where visitors can dig a natural hot pool in the sand. Other notable activities include visiting Karangahake Gorge, the Pinnacles overnight long-distance walk and Whenuakura Wildlife Sanctuary.
Planning tip: The region is compact, and it’s easy to explore from one of the charming towns like Hahei, Pauanui or Whangamata.
Abel Tasman National Park: Best for hiking
The undeveloped natural environment with native bush, small, clear bays and white, sandy beaches at Abel Tasman National Park is a great option as a day trip from Nelson, but even better if you can stay longer. The Abel Tasman Coast Track, one of New Zealand’s Great Walks, is a 37-mile walk through the bush with lovely views of the beach. It usually takes 3-5 days to complete the full walk; otherwise, take on just a section as a day hike. Shorter bush walk trails are available too if you’re not keen on a long-distance route.
Planning tip: No cars are allowed in the national park, so visitors need to either walk to their preferred destination or take a water taxi.
Fiordland National Park: Best for impressive landscapes
On the edge of the South Island, Fiordland National Park is home to one of New Zealand’s most famous attractions, the majestic Milford Sound, where visitors can see waterfalls, magnificent views along the fiord and some marine wildlife.
Planning tip: The nearby Doubtful Sound is also spectacular but less accessible—this place is more difficult to approach and travelers need to visit with a guide and by boat.
1. Which is the best option for visitors interested in night hike?A.Coromandel. | B.Abel Tasman National Park. |
C.Doubtful Sound. | D.Fiordland National Park. |
A.It is only reached by water. |

【推荐2】There is a huge variety of landscape a few hours away from London, in anyone of Britain’s largest areas of protected countryside, and its national parks.
The Cairngorms
The biggest is the Cairngorms in northern Scotland, with some of the country’s highest mountains and the best place for skiing. Pony-trekking, climbing and fishing are also popular, along with Scotland’s national game, golf. Wildlife enthusiasts are well rewarded — this is the home of the red deer, red squirrel and golden eagle.
The Lake District
Over the border in England is the Lake District, originally made famous by local Romantic poet William Wordsworth two hundred years ago. People have been traveling here since 1847 when a railway was built to its biggest lake, Windermere. Children’s writes have found inspiration here too, and the mountains make for excellent walking, with breathtaking views.
Snowdonia
Wales also has its fair share of impressive landscape — Snowdonia was one of the first national parks to be created, in 1951. You will find the road signs in two languages and hear Welsh spoken in the local shops. If mountain climbing is not your thing, try visiting a castle built by a 13th-century prince, or check out the nearby beaches.
The Giant’s Causeway
For the strangest coastal scenery of all, cross the Irish Sea to the Giant’s Causeway, a set of basalt(玄武岩) columns formed by volcanic activity sixty million years ago — or, as legend has it, built by warrior giant Finn McCool to walk from Northern Ireland to fight his enemy in Scotland. The stone ‘steps’ are not complete because the giant fell asleep.
