Located in northwestern New York State, across the borders of the United States and Canada, Niagara Falls is one of the world's most famous natural attractions. It is formed by the convergence of two mainstreams, one is the "American Waterfall" in the United States, and the other is the "Horseshoe Falls" between the United States and Canada. The two waterfalls rush together and pour down the cliffs that are 35 to 38 meters high.
Niagara Falls is located on the Niagara River, which connects Lake Erie to Lake Ontario on the U.S.-Canadian border. It is estimated that the water of Lake Erie flows into Lake Ontario at a flow rate of 14 million liters per minute from the 56-kilometer-long Niagara River, with a 99-meter drop in water levels from east to west, and half of the flow is where Niagara Falls is located, forming the most famous natural landscape of the Niagara Slope, Niagara Falls. The Niagara Slope is a relic of the last ice age, which stretches and slopes downwards to the east, forming a steep, rocky slope. Niagara Falls, bounded by Goat Island and belonging to Canada and the United States, consists of three waterfalls. Among them, two waterfalls are suspended on the American side of the east of the river, with a drop of 55 meters, called "Rainbow Waterfall" and "Luna Waterfall". The waterfall on the Canadian side of the river is the most spectacular, its shape is like a horseshoe, called "horseshoe waterfall", is the widest waterfall in the world, with a drop of 54 meters, and the waterhole below the waterfall is 56 meters deep. Horseshoe Falls is about two or three hundred meters away from the first two waterfalls, but it looks basically a semi-arc of "Trinity". According to calculations, the total width of the three-stranded waterfall is 1160 meters, and the total maximum flow rate can reach 6000 cubic meters per second.
Coming to Niagara Falls, one can admire its magnificent style from multiple angles. There is the famous "former landscape lookout", towering over it. If you want to look up at the pouring scene of the waterfall, you can follow the rugged path on the side of the mountain to the "Wind Rock", and you can stand at the foot of the waterfall. Looking up, you will see the great waterfall with its majestic momentum, overwhelming the sky, flying down, and can't help but make people feel a passion in their hearts, resonating with nature. Visitors must wear a raincoat here, otherwise the flying beads will fall and the clothes will be wet. But to see the panoramic view of the great waterfall, the most ideal place is to stand on the Rainbow Bridge. The bridge crosses the Niagara River downstream of the falls and is a 5-minute walk from the United States to Canada.
Near the great waterfall, there is also a smaller but prestigious waterfall with a beautiful name, called "Bridal Veil Waterfall", also known as "Moonlight Waterfall". Smell its name, you can imagine its flowing water, silver splashing charming scenery. Compared with the spectacular waterfall next to it, it looks unique and has a different charm. Just like the bride's veil, gently stirred in the breeze, and like a piece of moonlight, it gently sprinkled on the cliffs, intoxicating tourists.
Visitors can take the "Girl in the Mist" cruise ship through the choppy waterfalls and experience the thrilling and dusty feeling in the mist. The turquoise water of the microwave gradually rises and falls. The reefs on both sides of the strait are varied, and the stone walls are like a layer of shell inlays. Countless silent seagulls are startled by the waves and flapping their wings to fly, some of them soaring close to the lake, some competing with the swirling fog, and some fighting against the rapid waves.
More than 4 million tourists come to Niagara Falls every year, which is not difficult to understand, relying on the famous Victoria Falls, there is Victoria Falls nearby; by this Niagara Falls, Canada and the United States also have Niagara Falls. Moreover, they are also known as the "Honeymoon Capital". The economy of these two waterfall cities is very fast.
