The "Capital of the Aurora" - Yellowknife Town
๐ตIt's that time of the year again, the season most suitable for watching the aurora.๐ผ ๐๐ After October, the most beautiful natural phenomenon on the entire earth will appear - the aurora! โบ๏ธโบ๏ธ Who wouldn't want to admire this otherworldly beauty, exclusive to paradise, on the snow - covered Arctic wilderness in winter?๐ด๐ด Yellowknife, whose Chinese translation is Huangdao Town, is the capital of the Northwest Territories of Canada๐จ๐ฆ and one of the best places in the world to observe the aurora. Here, you can see the rare yellow๐ค๐ค and purple auroras. Known as the "Capital of the Northern Lights", Yellowknife is located in the Arctic Circle ring area. In winter,โ๏ธ the days are short and the nights are long. In July 2011, Prince William, the British heir to the throne, and Princess Kate visited Yellowknife, attracting the attention of the world's media to this city.๐ฆ ๐คถ๐คถIn Yellowknife, one can enjoy the Northern Lights for about 240 days a year. The probability of seeing the Northern Lights is as high as 95% if you stay for three consecutive nights. When you're in Canada๐จ๐ฆ, don't miss this fantastic dance of nature.๐ท๐ท The Northwest Territories of Canada is the best region to watch the green๐ - belt - like Northern Lights. โ๏ธ Yellowknife has a small population and relatively pristine scenery, providing an even better backdrop for aurora viewing.๐คฅ ๐๐จThe aurora is a sight that you'll never get tired of no matter how many times you see it. Even if you don't have much time for your Canadian itinerary, you must come here.๐จ๐จ๐จ Wrap yourself in a thick leather coat, ride a snowmobile and gallop freely, explore the wilderness, and get up close and personal with the aurora. ๐ โ๏ธThen choose a local - style small restaurant, enjoy warm tea and snacks while quietly waiting for the aurora to arrive.๐ช There is a chance to see the aurora from September of each year to April of the following year. โ๏ธ The best viewing period is from November of each year to March of the following year. ๐ฏ๐ฏ At this time, not only can you watch the aurora, but you can also experience many winter activities. However, the temperature in Yellowknife is very low during this time, with a frigid - 30 degrees Celsius.๐บโ ๏ธ The most distinctive place here must be Aurora Village. ๐๏ธ Also known as the Aurora Village, it is one of the largest aurora tour agencies in Yellowknife. โจโจ ๐There are Chinese - speaking guides who will give you advice on angles for photographing the aurora. The large, pointed - top tents are full of charm. Besides the tents, there are many free experiences to participate in. ๐ Activities unique to winter, such as dog - sledding and roasting marshmallows, are really interesting.๐ In the dog - sledding project, you can drive the sled yourself and control the reins, which is a very fun experience.๐๏ธ ๐๐Since it is located by Great Slave Lake, ice - fishing is also a popular activity every winter. Use a shovel to break through the ice surface, and you may catch the local unique fish.๐ Many tour agencies also offer group tours, taking you to Great Slave Lake to compete with lake trout, pike, and lake char.๐ง In addition, every March, Yellowknife hosts an impressive Snowโ๏ธโ๏ธ King Festival. Local artists work together to complete an ice - sculpture castle, and concerts, drama performances, and ice - hockey games are held inside the huge iceโ๏ธ - and - snow castle built on Yellowknife Bay. #Yellowknife #Aurora #Lighthouse #Nightview
