Quebec

Quebec is actually a french speaking province in Canada.But people say Quebec can be considered as a nation within Canada...

We visited Quebec early march.It was still winter.......

Ice hotel and frozen Montmorency falls...

Rideau Canal.....

The canal(the longest outdoor ice-skating venue in the world) in spring looks a lot different! Instead of ice skaters, there are boats going up and down the canal and waiting at the locks to be lifted up to the next water level. Cycling and rollerblading along the canal path is a popular evening activity.

Winterlude......

Ottawa hosts Winterlude each year, featuring snow sculptures by local teams, ice sculptures, concerts, and ice-skating along the canal.





Thousands of visitors come from all over to take part in the fun, and the canal, well frozen by this time, is packed with people skating the 9 kilometer skating lane between the Hartwell Locks and the Downtown area ( The longest outdoor scating venue). Along the way there are snow sculptures, heated change rooms, huts selling "beavertails" and hot-chocolate, and special performances.
