Toronto - the capital of Ontario, Canada, 🔜the largest city in Canada.

Across the river is New York State, USA, home to the world-famous 🔺Niagara Falls, just 100 kilometers from Toronto.
✅Toronto, in the Huron language of the Indigenous people, means "meeting place". It boasts an impressive city skyline, including the iconic 🔺CN Tower, the beautiful 🔺Lake Ontario, the miles-long waterfront trail, and the breathtaking 🔺Niagara Falls!
📍CN Tower: An important landmark of Toronto's cityscape.
🔜From the top of the tower, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the entire city of Toronto, Lake Ontario, and the islands of Toronto.

⚠️There are 5 Chinatowns in Toronto, with 2 in the downtown area, namely Dundas/Spadina and Broadway/Gerrard.
Chinatown Restaurant, Bao Toronto, Canada
This elegant restaurant in Toronto is the place to go for baos and Chinese crepes Bao Toronto
Bao is the Chinatown outpost of a legendary Chinese restaurant serving baozi and immaculately-plated dishes from Tianjin.
Though it doesn’t carry the same name, Bao is an offshoot of Goubuli, one of China’s oldest brands dating back to 1858. It’s known for its baozi: steamed buns with signature crowns sporting exactly 18 wrinkle each.
Goubuli translates to “dog ignores” in mandarin, a reference to its historic owner’s name, Gouzi, and his tendency to ignore small talk during busy hours.
Owner Hongke Zheng, who runs this franchise along with the first location in Richmond Hill, says he changed the name to Bao to make it easier for non-mandarin speakers to pronounce.
Chinatown’s 21st century rendition of Bao, located on the ground floor of Spadina’s Dragon Condo, doesn’t seem to quite match the bustle of Goubuli’s past.
The restaurant is a beautiful mix of modern and traditional accents with tons of natural lighting. It’s elegant, but it’s not excessively fancy, and when we arrive, it’s quiet.
Don’t let the sophisticated interior fool you: Bao is, for the most part, no more expensive than many of the casual sit-down Cantonese restaurants on the strip.

Toronto’s China Town is one of the biggest communities of its kind in North America. Toronto has the highest number of Chinese in all of Canada. So it’s not surprising that the city is actually home to 5 separate China Towns.
The main one is located in the city center of Toronto. Spreading westwards along Dundas Street to Spadina, as far as Nathan Phillips Square. There are many excellent Chinese restaurants, shops and specialty stores in Toronto. There are also many street vendors and craftsmen selling their wares, especially at weekends. If you plan to visit the city and want to spend some time in this wonderful area filled with luxury restaurants, fun shops and markets, know that Toronto’s China Town area has many clean, comfortable and pretty hotels.
Restaurants and shops practically spill out onto the streets, and most of the passersby are Chinese, so you’ll feel yourself at home here. The best thing about visiting this part of the city is the food. There are tons of restaurants in the area and very few of them offer North American style nouvelle cuisine; instead you can find authentic Chinese cuisine here. Szechuan, Hunan, Cantonese or even Northern style cuisine can be found. Of course, the food prices here are very reasonable. For those of you visiting Toronto but whose stomach yearns for home, you can allay your fears.
