When Canada's "maple" is just right, and the red and bright yellow climb all over the sky and treetops, one of the most wonderful wildlife wonders on the earth is about to be staged on the west coast of The Canadian province of British Columbia.
That's right, you'll see the world-famous Red Salmon migrating: more than half a billion North American Pacific salmon will leave the North American Pacific for a five-thousand-kilometer journey home to spawn in the freshwater rivers of their birthplace. They dye the rivers and lakes of their destination a scarlet and are spectacular.
It is a journey of destiny with no return, and an epic hymn to life.
<h1>An epic journey of destiny</h1>
1 in 1000 chances of survival and reproduction
Salmon is a common name for several species of salmonids, including the well-known salmon. Just as the name "salmon" is pronounced, salmon have pursued "return" all their lives to reproduce, and for this reason, both male and female have paid for their lives on the way home.
Salmon generally grow in the gentle fresh water of mountain streams when they are young, and when they grow up, they swim down the river into the lake and finally swim into the sea. After living in the sea for about four years, salmon return to the stream to ovulate and reproduce, which is one of the most important processes in their lives.
From July to October every year, thousands of salmon swim upstream from the sea, encounter a gap, the leading fish will lead the herd of teams to take turns to rush up, the scene is comparable to the carp jumping the dragon gate, but each time only a small number of salmon can rush up the waterfall as desired, most of them will die of exhaustion or prey on bears or water birds.
After many difficulties, the successful salmon can reach a calm lake in the uppermost reaches and begin to spawn and breed, after which the salmon die quickly, ending a magnificent life. The spirit of salmon seeing death as a homecoming is hailed as a legend in nature, and the place where this amazing species was born is also a legend in nature.

Have a special love for BC Province
Every year from June to November, B.C. is the best place to see salmon migratory. It is one of the richest lands on earth and the ultimate destination for many salmon. The fierce and ferocious King Salmon swims in some watersheds and offshore deep dives, and is a favorite of anglers, although it exists all year round, it is rare to see.
Salmon migrate only for a rich natural element [fresh water]. B.C. has many freshwater streams and rivers, and in the network of lakes and rivers, there are the most extensive preserved temperate rainforests in the world, with pure water quality.
<h1>Weaver Creek Salmon Breeding Farm</h1>
Weaver Creek Spawning Channel
One of the most popular salmon safaris in the Vancouver area, it is one of the main river areas for salmon viewing, and about 60,000 salmon can be seen every October to return and spawn, in addition, some salmon and pink salmon can be seen, and there is also a red salmon exhibition hall on the creekside.
Best salmon viewing time: October
<h1>Golden Creek Provincial Park</h1>
Gold Stream Provincial Park
Located in Langford, northwest of Victoria on Vancouver Island, Gold Creek is surrounded by dense woods, and the soil and water temperature on both sides of the stream are very suitable for salmon to spawn. Gold Creek Provincial Park is still a salmon spawning reserve in pristine rainforest state, and in late October each year, thousands of salmon, silver salmon and king salmon swim upstream to spawn.
Of the five most important species of salmon that live in the North American Pacific, Golden Creek is home to a large number of salmon. These salmon push and churn each other, making countless splashes so that visitors can't see the stones at the bottom of the stream.
Best salmon viewing time: late October to mid-December
<h1>Adams River</h1>
Adams River
A tributary of the Fraser River in British Columbia, the Adams River flows through the beautiful Okanagan Valley and is one of the main birthplaces of salmon, the red salmon. The Adams River is surrounded by trees and is full of natural and pristine atmosphere. Salmon swim every four years, and the number of salmon is about two million, which is breathtaking.
When salmon all over their bodies swim along the stream, the Addams River stretches like a beautiful red carpet. Of all the Adams Valleys, the best place to see red salmon spawning is at Roderick Haig-Brown Park near Little Shuswap Lake, where salmon talkboards and souvenir sales cars are located.
The Adams River Salmon Society hosts the "Solute to the Sockeye" event every four years during the Salmon Migration, because salmon migration gives us love and life to think.
Best salmon viewing time: Mid-September to mid-October
A fish creates the myth of nature, and when a salmon with a red body migrates along the stream, it is not only a magical journey of nature, but also an emotional education
