Port Colborne: Visit this small town at the southern end of the Welland Canal for a rich and colorful leisure vacation

I am the Sea-Listening Tourist+ Global Traveler, please follow me! (Published the 1689th travel photography article in 1005 cities across 56 countries/regions on 5 continents) Port Colborne is a small town on the shore of Lake Erie in Canada, part of the Niagara region of Southern Ontario. It is the entrance to the southern end of the Welland Canals. Before the construction of the Welland Canal, due to the natural Niagara River that connects Lake Erie and Lake Ontario having waterfalls and rapids with a drop of 99.5 meters, it was not navigable. Cargo ships traveling between the two lakes had to unload near Niagara Falls and transport the goods overland to the other side of the falls before reloading. Later, the Welland Canal was artificially developed, stretching 44.4 kilometers with 8 lock adjustments, allowing large cargo ships to bypass Niagara Falls. From Port Colborne on the shore of Lake Erie to the south, they travel north to Port Weller in the city of St. Catharines on the shore of Lake Ontario. Thousands of ships over ten thousand tons travel through this canal every year, coming and going, making Port Colborne a bustling and prosperous place. Port Colborne has built a series of shopping centers, galleries, museums, theaters, beaches, etc., around the Welland Canal, all of which are inseparable from the canal culture. The residents here are also warm and hospitable. Coming here, you can choose from a variety of entertainment and leisure activities for a rich and colorful leisure vacation.
