Despite my friend told me that when the autumn maple leaf red, Quebec City is the most beautiful. Or in the winter when the Snow gleams white, also have a flavor.

In Quebec City, a corner is a landscape, and then go forward ten meters is a landscape. You cannot worry, do not expect one or two days will be able to see the scenery, otherwise it will feel very tired, for the beauty of greed, after all, it will make people suffer. Here, it is suitable for a leisurely lifestyle, suitable for quiet sentiment. During the trip, everyone has a different purpose and destination of travel, charm and style will be greatly different. For Forrest Gump, the best way to explore the jungle of the city, that is to use their own pace, measured every inch of land.

The whole city is a park, on both sides of the street is the elm, stroll in the ancient city of narrow streets and alleys, vaguely heard sound of a guitar, trance, thought is a historical symbol, turn but see street musicians. Street turn left, right corner, seems to tell you don't rush to a specific place.

The church building itself had suffered fire several times and earthquake, and now see the church is renovation in 1925.

The architecture of the city of Quebec also makes me drunk. If careful observation, you will find in Quebec City streets, subway station inadvertently building decoration, if not gorgeous, are saturated with the cultivation of art. Even a few tonal collocation, a few decorative brick pile, as you can see is after careful scrutiny. Many very old city walls, people often seems to be very casually in a few strokes, immediately full wall unripe brightness!
