Introduction

Niagara Falls spans the border of Canada and the United States, formed by three waterfalls, of which the most powerful "Horseshoe Falls" lies mainly on the Canadian side—about 670 meters wide and 51 meters high, pouring thousands of tons of water per second with a thunderous roar and clouds of mist, one of North America's most famous natural wonders. The Canadian side offers the most spectacular view, facing the full panorama of the Horseshoe Falls from the shore. Visitors can ride the "Maid of the Mist" (Hornblower on the Canadian side) boat into the base of the falls, embraced by mist and feeling the power up close; at night the falls are lit in colored lights and fireworks are set off regularly. About an hour and a half's drive from Toronto, it is a classic not-to-be-missed day trip.
