College Street runs east-west and is perpendicular to Yonge Street, Toronto&#39;s largest arterial road. There is a subway station at the intersection called College Street. College Street is home to Canada&#39;s largest and oldest top public university, the University of Toronto, as well as Ryerson University. T&amp;T, the most popular supermarket among Chinese people, recently opened a branch on College Street.

Toronto Public Library - Toronto Reference Library

&quot;Toronto Public Library&quot; was written on the red wall. It was very big. I came in and asked the front desk: Do you have Chinese books for children? The front desk said: There is no children&#39;s department here. So she helped me check: In Toronto, there are more Chinese books only in places where Chinese people live, and children&#39;s Chinese books are only available in three branches. She helped me write down the names of these three branches one by one and gave them to me.

As soon as I entered the lobby, I saw Chinese treasures. The cultural relics on display were much better than those in China. It was a pity that they did not return to the embrace of the motherland. I was also glad that if they had not been looted by the invaders at that time, would they have been destroyed? I felt very conflicted. In addition to the Chinese national treasures on the first floor, the second floor is a bit like a natural history museum, with crystal tubes, which are very beautiful. The interior of the museum is also very suitable for taking pictures, very beautiful.

The Art Gallery of Ontario is a very attractive museum designed by the architect Frank Gehry. Its appearance is like a crystal ship, with a strong sense of modern art. The glass wall and glass wings on the north side of the main entrance glow under the lights at night, creating a beautiful scenery. The spiral staircase in the museum fully demonstrates Gehry&#39;s design talent.
