These seven places are enough for you to discover the interweaving of tradition and modernity.

Mary building observation deck

If you dare to come up, you can enjoy a city in 5 minutes.

Address: No.5 Mary Street, Presville, Montreal

Admission: 20 Canadian dollars

If you like to study world architecture, you must punch in here. Mary City Plaza, located in the center of Montreal, is the work of China famous designer I.M. Pei. It has a large indoor shopping center with nearly 70 boutiques, and it also has a unique observation deck located on the top floor of Mary City Plaza.

To enjoy the feeling of being separated from the vast sky by a mirror, it costs 20 Canadian dollars to buy tickets for the 46th floor. Mary Square Building 1958 started, and 1962 was completed. This building, the same age as my parents, has 47 floors and is 188 meters high. It is still one of the tallest office buildings in Montreal.

The observation deck on the top floor of the building can overlook Montreal, St. Lawrence River and Mount Royal in 360 degrees. LesEnfantsTerribles is a French restaurant and bar located on the 44th floor, specializing in local online celebrity cuisine. The terrace is a must-see leisure place for all hipsters in Montreal.

The observation deck has also prepared a variety of huge photo frames, behind which you can take photos with various landscapes in Montreal. With them, the Montreal painting style immediately went to several levels!

On the 45th floor, there are explanation boards and videos corresponding to the buildings seen by each eye, which help people to look at this moving city from a new perspective.

[Montreal Ferris wheel]

Eye of Montreal

Address: No.362, De La Commune Road, Montreal

I have always believed that owning the Ferris wheel is the grade standard of a tourist city. If a city has a Ferris wheel, locals often talk about it proudly. There are many world-famous ferris wheels, from the London Eye to the Singapore Ferris wheel. Some of them are old and romantic, while others are fashionable and handsome. The Montreal Ferris wheel is the highest ferris wheel in Canada. The Montreal Ferris wheel (also called the "Big Ferris wheel") is located in the Bancé Coos Basin in the old city of Montreal, with an altitude of nearly 200 feet.

The amazing ancient buildings in the old city constitute the history of this city. It slowly rose into the air on the Ferris wheel in Montreal, as if jumping into a carriage and walking through the old city. Your heart will be immersed in the dusk beauty of the old port, and at the same time slowly calm down to read the new and old of this city.

The diversity of streets is the real feature of this city.

Address: Saint Laurent, Quebec

The observation deck and the Ferris wheel help us to have a panoramic view of Montreal from high altitude. In fact, in generate, in addition to retaining the historical sense of the old city, there is also a fresh and youthful atmosphere, which can be seen from the wall paintings everywhere in the city. You will find that the architectural style, the interior of shopping malls and the decoration of street bars are all "changed" by the artistic atmosphere. Graffiti is flourishing in this city, especially in the northeast of Mount Royal, coming down from the goddess of victory, near Duras block in Lafontaine Park. As long as you look up, there are graffiti works with different styles and expressions everywhere!

Street artists show their talents enthusiastically, and bold and creative graffiti murals are full of artists' creative inspiration.

Graffiti artists in Saint Laurent create giant graffiti in the street, and transmit a kind of power to the soul through exaggerated faces or strange characters. This wave of street art from Montreal is in the ascendant, and street graffiti is also developing in a bigger and bigger direction.

Street graffiti in Montreal is one of the most commendable visual arts in the city, so if you are keen on trendy culture and draw a few strokes from time to time, this place is definitely worth punching in.

Today, Montreal is no longer an antique town, but has developed into a modern city with many tall buildings. Shuttling between modern and Gothic architecture, you are looking for Montreal that belongs to young people.

Outside the art world of Montreal, it also has unparalleled prosperity. As one of the seven design cities, it has world-class fashion design and mouth-watering food. The most direct manifestation of modern urban landscape is scattered high-rise buildings, but I don't know why I began to imagine Spider-Man when I saw so many high-rise buildings.

If you don't have much time to visit a city, you must get to know Montreal quickly and deeply. In my opinion, there is a "shortcut" to this kind of speed tour.

The old port is the representative and epitome of the old city of Montreal. I have never been to Laogang, even if I have never been to Mengcheng. Laogang first came to Canada as a French fur trading port with a history of more than 350 years. The boundary between the old city of Montreal and the old port and the new city is not as obvious as other cities. They are inseparable from the center of high-rise buildings, which is why everyone says that the new and the old in this city complement each other so well. The old city and the old port are the essence of Montreal's concentration. If the weather is fine, you can walk leisurely through the city center. On the one hand, we can see what the CBD of Canada's second largest city is like. On the other hand, you will find yourself unconsciously transferred from 2 1 century to19th century.

So far, for any tourist, the old town of Montreal and the old port are the first choice for traveling here. The historical buildings in the nearby old city are well preserved, and it is also appropriate to say that this is an open-air museum, because it shows the vivid history and culture of the city.

Every weekend, the market here will make the old port very lively. The bell tower, the most famous scenic spot in the old port, was built in 1922 to commemorate the sailors killed in World War I. Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can see the St. Lawrence River, Jacques Cartier Bridge, the Cape of Good Hope on St. Helen's Island, and the beautiful scenery of the old port and the old city.

JeanTalonMarket in Jean Talon market

North America Chihuo Paradise

Address: 7070 Henry Julinev, Montreal

Eating habits should be an important aspect of local customs. What do Montreal people eat? How to eat? The most grounded way is to go to the most famous local vegetable market to find out. Jean Talon market is located in the center of Little Italy in Montreal, and it is the largest vegetable market in Montreal and North America. There is a saying that for a foodie, the only way to go is the spoon in his heart. It is worthwhile to go further!

This cake cabinet with western characteristics is filled with snacks of various shapes and colors. There are many kinds, so it's hard to choose without careful consideration!

The technical house in the world city is the projection city of the image.

The city of world art awards, the city of European and American cultural accumulation, and the city of classic washing modernity ... Montreal has enough titles of alternating old and new, but there is still a very important chess piece in its urban character map, that is, science and technology. Terrell is such a city, especially when night falls, you will find yourself in a fantastic country. ......

The Memory of the City (420 mcgill, Bureau 40 1, montr _ al (QC) H2Y2G 1, Canada) has curtain wall slides scattered on the pedestrian street of the old city, reappearing the historical footsteps and turning the old city of Montreal into a huge open-air museum. Whenever night falls, more than 20 video images are constantly flashing on treetops, walls and the ground, inviting passers-by to know all kinds of people who have left footprints in this city since 1642.

Jacques Cartier (134 Pont Jacques-Cartier, Montré al, QCH2K4m2, Canada) crosses the St. Lawrence River, but not everyone has seen its new clothes. In, an interactive digital light show was created on the external structural frame of the bridge, equipped with amazing lighting system, creating a dynamic visual experience. It is said that the lighting design of the bridge reflects the life, environment and spirit of Montreal itself. The lighting control system uses weather, traffic and tweets [SW 1] to collect data from the city, and then reflects it to Montreal in real time by changing the color and activity of bridge lighting, but I think what surprises me most is that even a bridge can tell the story of the city!

If we can find some city cards of Montreal, then the old city and the old port are really neck and neck with "Citizenship". It has long been said that the grandeur of Notre Dame de Montreal (10 rue Notre-Dame Ouest, Montré al, QH2y1T2, Canada) is world-famous, and now it has the "aura" to glow this vicissitudes with the magic of light and shadow. Nowadays, every change of digital media technology brings different surprises to the audience. I think I have seen too many dazzling and spectacular immersive experiences, but when the cathedral became Pandora's planet in Cameron's lens, I was still amazed at its wonders! No wonder it is hard to get a ticket for the multimedia light show! (Light Show Tickets $25)

When the sacred music sounded, I couldn't help but be shocked by tears. The scene in the church is sometimes colorful, sometimes covered in white, sometimes resplendent and magnificent, and sometimes deserted ... I don't have any more adjectives. When a century-old building meets the light and shadow of science and technology, all reviews and prospects are enough to fill everyone's eyes in an instant.

The annual "C2Montreal" opens every May in Montreal, Quebec (900 René-lé vesqueboulevardouest, 2 1eé tage, Montreal, Quebec H3b4a5, Canada) as scheduled. It is said that during these three days, the most creative people in the world were in Montreal. Interactive and immersive music and dance performances ignite C2Montreal venue; In PHI Center, fans who are fascinated by new technologies have the opportunity to explore virtual reality technology as an art. ..

The heavy sense of religious ceremony gave it the simplest dress.

Cathedral of Notre Dame de Montreal

Plain face is more beautiful.

Address: Notre Dame Street 1 10, Montreal.

Although Montreal has undertaken a lot of "the best in North America", this outfit is absolutely heavy. Notre Dame de Montreal, as the largest church in North America, has been mentioned in the light and shadow technology just now, but obviously, when it is beautifully dressed, it is definitely not as good as its "plain face".

Celine Dean, the goddess who sang "My Heart is Eternal", got married in this church, and Pavarotti once held a solo concert in this cathedral. Notre Dame de Paris is famous. The church is resplendent and magnificent, and its blue ceiling and painted glass in neo-Gothic style attract tourists' attention.

Today, we have experienced the regret of Notre Dame de Paris and paid more attention to the protection of intangible heritage. Notre Dame de Paris is also called Notre Dame de Paris. Visitors who have never been to Paris might as well come here to appreciate her charm.

St. Joseph's Cathedral

The belief of soaring in the clouds

Address: 3800 Cheminqueenmary, Montreal

Turn your attention to the Royal Peak, which is also a religious building. St Joseph's Cathedral is very different from Notre Dame de Paris. Who can imagine that the tallest building in Montreal is actually a church? St Joseph's Cathedral is150m high, divided into upper and lower floors, with more than 4,000 seats. If you want to reach the top floor of the church, you must take the elevator.

"St Joseph's Cathedral" has won the admiration of countless people for its magnificent appearance, exquisite internal carvings and numerous exquisite murals and window decorations.

Compared with the solemnity of Notre Dame de Paris, St. Joseph's Cathedral is more beautiful and romantic. Candles and rose petals lit in plastic cups remind us of the scene of young people courting.

There is also a story of "wonderful hands and kindness" in the church: it is said that Andre cured many disabled people with the lamp oil in the church, and the huge crutches in the underground church are witness, so there are many believers on crutches in the church. No matter where in the world, religious stories are always so wonderful.

Meng Meng's literary style is the essence of the museum here.

Just like the "thousands of people and thousands of faces" mentioned before, in the eyes of different people, a city will show different faces, impetuous, intelligent, simple and literary. Montreal is often regarded as the crystallization of three different cultures, namely the new French customs, British culture and the essence of the first nation. Teacher Gao also said that Montreal is the historical capital of maple leaf country with profound literature and art. In my eyes, its art and fresh elements are just right.
