Half - day Tour of Buffalo Pound Provincial Park and Moose Jaw
ππWhile Shanghai is still battling the high temperatures, it seems that the people in our town are already welcoming autumn π. During the short holiday, I went to Buffalo Pound Provincial Park with my family. ποΈποΈ ποΈAfter checking the map, I found that we would pass by Moose Jaw on the way, so we decided to take a look there too π. Buffalo Pound Provincial Park is about an hour's drive from Regina and is right next to the long - strip - shaped Buffalo Pound Lake.ποΈποΈ When we first entered the park, the lake was hidden by a small hill. But as the car drove down, our view gradually widened, giving us a sense of βseeingποΈποΈ the light at the end of the tunnelβ. There is a stretch of beach by the lake that's not very fine - grained, somewhat reminiscent of Regina Beach. Perhaps because it was the holiday, there were quite a few tourists in RVs camping in the park. There were some white birds (unknown to me) by the beach. The wind was quite strong today, and the lake water π§was lapping against the shore, making it seem like an oceanποΈ. I had this illusion because the lake water that blew towards me actually had a faint salty taste. This park is smaller in scale than Douglas Province Park and doesn't have many hiking trails, but it has the advantage of being close to home π π . It's worth mentioning that there is no network signal in the parkπ»π, which has the benefit of making you not think about scrolling through your phone. Camping here for a day or two, with only the people around you in your sight and ears, having a secluded holiday, is quite a romantic experience π. There is a fee to enter the provincial park. If it's just a day - trip, it's $11 per car, and for an RV to stay overnight, it's $44 (including water and electricity).π΅π΅ However, there are two ways to enter the park for free π: New immigrants who have obtained PR within 1 year can download the Canoo app and register as a member to get free entry. ππ Canoo is a benefit provided by the Canadian government to new immigrants, and there are many parks and venues where you can take advantage of it. ππBut remember to bring your driver's license or photo ID to verify your identity. The Regina Library is currently offering a provincial park pass borrowing activity. It's first - come, first - served. You need to have a Regina library card (which can be obtained for freeππ with a driver's license or photo ID). After leaving the provincial park, it's about a 20 - minute drive to Moose Jaw, a city that was said to be the largest in Saskatchewan once. Driving through a street in the city center, some European - style buildings came into view, revealing the town's heritage and past prosperity. π¦ πThe funniest thing was that my whole family actually went on a shopping spree at Winners in Moose Jaw Maybe it was because there weren't many people but there was a good supply of goods, so the shopping experience was quite niceππ The only regret was that we didn't get to taste the Japanese restaurant that is said to be the best in the vicinity (including Regina). Maybe this is Moose Jaw's little trick to make us come back next time [Stick out tongue].ππ During a journey, there are always some unexpected surprises and small regrets.β¨β¨ They are all part of the travel experience. Perhaps it's these things that make every trip full of unique memories.π€₯π€₯π #Regina
