absolutely amazing and worthwhile! Although it might be very cold in the winter, snowy sceneries are at another level.
Quebec City was once a French colony. Now there are many landmarks and the language is French. It is a French-style city. The scenery is beautiful and it is suitable for a two-day leisurely tour. The church and the old town are worth seeing.
The autumn scenery of Old Quebec is undoubtedly one of the most charming moments of the year, full of comfort, romance and artistic atmosphere, bringing people unparalleled visual enjoyment. I specially chose to visit Old Quebec at this time of autumn. Autumn here is a feast of colors. The leaves turn golden, orange and crimson with the change of seasons, especially on the Terrasse Dufferin, overlooking the river bank and the old city buildings. The autumn leaves complement them and everything becomes picturesque. The cobblestone streets of Old Quebec are particularly peaceful and comfortable in autumn. The cool autumn breeze blows on the face, and the leaves fall gently on the street, like a romantic dance. At this time, the French-style cafes and restaurants in the old city also appear more cozy. Sitting in an open-air cafe, enjoying a cup of coffee or a French dessert, watching the autumn sun shine on the ancient stone walls and colorful leaves is an extremely romantic experience. This old city exudes a strong artistic atmosphere all the time. In the Petit Champlain area, colorful small shops and galleries are more creative and artistic against the backdrop of golden leaves in autumn. This is also a gathering place for street performers and artists, whose music and paintings complement the city's unique autumn scenery. After the peak tourist season of Thanksgiving, there are fewer tourists at this time, and the old town has become more suitable for a leisurely stroll to savor the city's history and culture. Whether strolling on the city wall or admiring the red and yellow hills in the distance along the riverside trail, this slow and quiet rhythm makes people feel relaxed.
