Section 1143 Lolita is not cute
Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo chatted with several Malaysian friends while waiting for the agency. On the first night, they were really excited. Especially Yunluo, they couldn't sit still. They went out for a while and went into the house for a while. Those Malaysian friends joked that Yunluo seemed too nervous. How could they not be nervous? This is Yunluo's first look at the aurora! Nalan Shuqi calmed down a lot. It ate a lot of late supper. Malaysian friends even asked with concern, are you not full at noon?
Finally, at about 10 o'clock, aurora began to appear in the sky. Each wisp is not very clear, but there will be a little green color. They are not still, they will move slightly, and then disappear in a short while. Yun Luo kept staring at the sky, looking forward and excited.
But later I found out that such a laser is not really an explosion! So, I didn’t take a few pictures successfully.
Today's itinerary looks very full, but it's really not very tight. Yun Luo is already used to being slow on vacation.
Yellowknife was once famous for the gold rush. In the 1990s, diamond mines were also discovered here, which also gave the city the reputation of "North American Diamond Capital". Yellowknife is divided into two parts: New Town and Old Town. Of course, the new town has some urban feeling, with buildings and neat and spacious driveways, but for new tourists, the old town is obviously more popular. Walking in the local old town, the brightly colored old buildings left over from the gold mine period come into view, reminding people of the history of everyone rushing gold.
Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo stayed at the earliest bank in this city. Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo deliberately walked and stopped in oldtown. Although the yellow knife was very small, it would clearly divide oldtown. But don’t deliberately imagine how big it is. It is just a village, a village where the indigenous people live, and a gathering place for large bungalows.
Oldtown is surprisingly quiet and rarely sees pedestrians. It is a wonderful thing. You can find a lot of relevant travel information here. It will be of great help to your future itinerary.
There are many souvenirs with yellow knives sold here, and those who are interested can choose here. For example, Yunluo likes the "Welcome" stone villain. In fact, Yunluo also wants to buy shoes from Twin Aboriginal people, but he thinks that the use value is really not great, so he gave up.
The northern frontiervi private torscentre is a visitor center on the northern border. Here you can get a certificate of "visiting here" by spending 2 Canadian dollars. There are also small souvenirs from Huangdao City.
The famous Prince of Wales Northwest Traditional Center, which has a total of more than 100,000 exhibits, including countless animal and flora specimens and historical and geographical relics, fully displaying the history and culture of the Northwest Special Administrative Region, and recording the development and prosperity of the Yellow Knife Lock. The museum is free to enter. If you want to know the children's shoes in the Northwest, you must not miss it.
To be honest, I am not particularly interested in visiting a museum, but Yunluo enjoys the knowledge I have learned in the museum. There is also a café in the museum, so that tourists can also have a place to rest when visiting. Yunluo likes the coffee here the most.
If interested, you can even try out their Aboriginal clothing... It's really worth going to learn more about Aboriginal culture. Perfectly showcases the traditional rituals and lifestyles of local Indian Aboriginals and the changes in life in the community after the discovery of gold and diamond mines.
The one that looks like a tennis racket is a traditional snowshoe in the northwest region. You can experience this kind of snowshoe by coming to the northwest in winter. Take a different ski trip on the snow with these big snowshoes.
There are many different exhibition areas in the museum, such as ecological areas, indigenous cultural areas, etc. In the museum, you can recognize the living and culture of the local people and have a further understanding of Huangdao Town, such as the history of mining and aviation in the local people. The museum collects cultural relics and archives from the entire province, and there are also physical specimens of wild animals, such as musk ox, Arctic wolf and Arctic rabbit, etc.
If you like this city, then it is worth taking some time to learn about Yellowknife here. This uniquely shaped conical tent is very common in the Northwest. This is the traditional tent here--teepee. Camping here to see the stars in summer. In winter, sitting around the tent fireplace, drinking hot chocolate, eating snacks, and then looking at the aurora~ Wow, do you want to be too comfortable~
The itinerary for this day is also very simple, because yellowknife is really too small. You can finish it in a while. This diamond center is the established itinerary because the Canadian Tourism Bureau gave Yun Luo a small diamond. Haha, isn’t it very exciting? It was exchanged for Yun Luo with a poem. This is another story. If there is time in the future, Yun Luo will talk about it separately.
In addition to being called the "Aurora Capital of the World", Yellowknife is also known as the "Diamond Capital of North America". It has incredible diamond resources in the glacier ruins tens of thousands of years ago! How about choosing a diamond as a souvenir for traveling to the Northwest? In fact, Yun Luo has long heard of the diamond production in Canada, because he had heard from friends about it a long time ago, but Yun Luo didn't know in advance that it was in such a place. It was in the Yellow Knife.
With the development of the diamond industry in the Arctic region of Canada, Huangdao City has become the veritable "North American Diamond Capital". There is a diamond center in yellowknife, which is run by a Hong Kong woman from China. In front is a diamond sales, diamond cultural wall, diamond image data room, and behind is a diamond processing factory.
After listening to the staff's explanation, Yun Luo realized that real Canadian diamonds, from mining, cutting and polishing, must be completed in Canada, so they are more precious and rare. To ensure that all diamonds produced are completely domestic products, Canada was the first to initiate a government certification program. This allows tracking of the entire process of Canadian diamond production: mining, cutting, polishing, design, retail, etc., to ensure that customers every process takes place in Canada. All Canadian diamond vendors certified by the Canadian government have the "Canadian Diamond Certification Certificate".
The Canadian Davidko Diamond Mine is located in the North Slavi region of the North West Territory of Canada, about 300 kilometers away from Yellowknife. The mine now produces 8 million carats (1,600 kilograms) of diamonds annually, making it one of the most famous diamond production mines in Canada and even the world.
This diamond center is not as magnificent as some domestic display institutions, and is also very small. There will be a display of diamond craftsmanship in the hall, several counters selling diamonds on site, as well as cultural display walls, and the image room.
Later, Yunluo found other images of Canadian diamonds from the guide.
The process of cutting and polishing from diamond mines and using advanced equipment is carried out in the Northwest region. The purpose is to ensure that all polar bear diamonds are 100% Canadian native diamonds certified by the government. In addition, each diamond has a unique pattern, which is similar to a fingerprint, and is used to distinguish authenticity.
Polar Glacier Diamond is one of the main brands that adopt the 5c standard. Mined in Northwest Canada, it has an additional NP-day NT for authenticity. These diamonds are marked with maple leaves, as well as government certified numbers.
Maple leaf diamonds, mined in Canada's first diamond mine, ekati - located in the exciting Northwest region. Each crystal has a maple leaf laser marking and tracking number, ensuring its authenticity from the process from coarse crystals to finished products.
To promote Canadian Arctic diamonds, the Northwest Administrative Region Government also provides certificates for diamonds mined and cut within the administrative region. Out of the diamond center, walked on the street, and today was here for the last night.
The Yellow Dao City is full of autumn everywhere, with yellow autumn leaves and fashionable small houses. Walking on the streets, you will feel like you are traveling in a painting. Rather than saying that this is a city, it is more like a beautiful town, with every tree and every stone. It seems to be telling the story of the small town.
Several major streets form the downtown of Huangdao City, where government agencies, banks, supermarkets and commercial centers are concentrated. One of the few bus lines connects all parts of the city.
Every time you walk on such a small street, you feel comfortable. I really wonder how many people there are in this city, and it is always so quiet. This is the small world that is inseparable from the world.
There were not many cars and pedestrians on the street, and a very leisurely small city. Take a photo with my dear Vida. Tonight was the last night of aurora I watched in the city. I was so disappointed that I was so excited about it.
I had lunch at a Vietnamese restaurant. Yun Luo ordered pork chop rice and Nalan Shiqi ordered rice noodles. It was obvious that his one was better than Yun Luo.
This restaurant is run by Chinese people, and it seems to be from Hong Kong, but the chef comes from Vietnam. Because Huangdao City is not as rich as Vietnamese cuisine, it is already very good for the chef to make it like this. When Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo went there, many foreign tourists also dined here.
This pier is really not very big, and you can park up to 3 or 5 planes. You can drive an armored vehicle or a seaplane from Yellow Knife to Trout Rock Island (T-Merma Trock), where Enodah Wildernesslodge is located. The driving is a bit far, and it only takes 15 minutes to take a seaplane. Moreover, you can also have a beautiful view of the Furious Hu. In autumn, the colors are clearly layered and it is a very beautiful view, but it is all based on you being able to overcome the various troubles caused by seaplane airsickness.
In autumn, the colors are richer and the scenery is more spectacular. In winter, you can drive an armored vehicle directly on the ice road of Danu Lake, which is also the best way to enter the enodahwildernesslodge in winter. Yunluo really wants to choose to go back next time, in winter, and experience the feeling of riding an armored vehicle in charge forward.
Yunluo was a little airsick, and his hands were shaking when taking pictures, and nothing else was bad. Take a seaplane from Yellowknife Huangdao City to Enodah Island Lynx Xiaozhu for about ten minutes. You can overlook Danu Lake from a high altitude. The small islands are scattered in it, all of which are green at different levels. It is also a very special beauty when meeting the lake and islands. If the glass of the small plane is cleaner, it will be clearer.
Looking from a high altitude, Danu Lake is a real no-man's land. The sense of primitiveness and desolation without any destruction is amazing.
The origin of the name Greatslavelake is named after the Indian tribes that had lived on the shore of the lake. These Indian tribes were driven to the northern region by the Kerry among the Indians and called "slaves" by them. Hu Bo, near their residence, was also called Greatslave Lake.
I read the guide before that when I come to the vast Northwest, only by taking a small plane and walking around the sky can I fully appreciate the beauty of the Northwest, the dense forests, boundless wilderness, sapphire-like lakes, crisscrossing waterways... Everything is spectacular only at a high place. What are you waiting for? Fasten your seat belt and rush into the sky!
When they arrived at the enodahwildernesslodge, all the employees lined up to welcome him, so enthusiastic. They also took a photo of Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo, a small group of people. It was from this time that Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo and the two couples of Malay became good friends. Later, they enthusiastically invited Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo to Kuala Lumpur. Nalan Shuqi and Yunluo have been in contact, and Yunluo also welcomed them to visit China at any time.
Chapter completed!
