Located in the province of Nova Scotia in southeastern Canada, it is the second smallest province in Canada, mainly composed of the Nova Scot Peninsula, known as "Canada's Marine Playground". When the sea breeze blows across the face, the pure sea reflects under the bright sky, the moored yachts rest neatly on the dock, and the colorful little houses in the town are painted into cute shapes, as if the sweet taste of rainbow sugar, you think it is a peaceful and peaceful paradise. However, to your surprise, 8,000 kilometers of coastline, the world's highest tides, and historic military fortresses bring out its majesty.
There is not only a beautiful scenery here, but also a lot of legendary stories

If you don't know that Halifax is the capital of Nova Scotia, tell you a story and you'll remember it. On April 15, 1912, the world's largest luxury cruise ship, the Titanic, hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic, and as the closest seaport to the scene of the shipwreck, Halifax was the first to receive a distress signal, immediately dispatched ships to rescue, and also undertook the salvage of the victims' remains.

After that, the city, known as the "Watchmen of the Atlantic," continued to guard the Titanic and the sleeping people at the bottom of the sea. Today, people eager to witness the romance and the tragedy of fate in the film come here in an endless stream to mourn the unfortunate victims of the Titanic Burial Grounds.

In Peggy's Cove, south of Halifax, there is a red and white lighthouse against the backdrop of the blue sea and sky, standing quietly in the undulating granite bay, exuding a dreamlike atmosphere, becoming a unique scenery on this waterfront. If you come here, in addition to running merry on the exposed rocks of the sea, you can also kayak out to explore the beautiful scenery, and if you are lucky, you can meet one or two whales that have surfaced. Swim in this beautiful scenery, guess any unhappy things can be left behind!
Peggy's Cove is called Peggy's Cove because of the story of the past. Around 1800, an English sailing ship sank in the nearby waters, killing all its men and leaving only one young girl alive. She lost her memory and forgot her name, and the local fishermen named her Peggy, who later married her. Many people heard this story and went to visit her in the fishing village, and slowly, the bay became known as Peggy Bay.

I don't know if you've seen Chocolat starring Juliet Binoche and Johnny Depp, the town where chocolate awakens happiness is Lunenburg in Nova Scotia, which has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site. This 18th-century village is home to more than 400 small, colourful rainbow sugar sprinkled on earth by God. As the sea breeze rises and the salty smell of the harbour fills every corner of the village, the famous Bluenose II dances with its snapping sails, once the world's fastest fishing schooner.

The reason why it is called Blue Nose Ii is also because the original Blue Nose One sank in 1946. The Blue Nose is a brig, eight-sail fishing boat built in Lunenburg, and it has made a splash at the International Fishermen's Trophy and won multiple awards. Therefore, the locals regard it as the pride of Lunenburg.

The sea is always calm at times and sometimes with the wind, and the Bay of Fundy may be evidence that the sea is not calm. The Bay of Fundy, located between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, boasts 170 metres of cliffs, and its unique angle makes the waters here the highest tides in the world and is known as Canada's best spectacle.

Every day, the tide here rises and falls as high as 14 meters, almost 4 stories high, and 100 billion tons of water flow in and out, twice a day, without interruption. If you want to see the tidal rush for yourself, climb to Hopewell Rocks, the summit of the world's highest tide, where thousands of years of tidal setting have carved sandstone walls into weather-beaten landscapes, a dialogue between mountains and seas, and a tidal talk about time.
