Reminiscing Durham Road 9 情牽九號公路

【Ontario Yours to Discover】《Reminiscing Durham Road 9》: I first visited Durham Road 9, also known as Ganaraska Road in 2011. In hundred years ago, it was one of the busiest highways in Central Ontario running from west to east in 50km to Rice Lake. It passed through many historic towns in Central Ontario but was gradually taken over by the Highway 401 as the main east-west highway.
In a sunny day, hot and humid with temperature at 28°C, I returned to this old road again, reminiscing along the way to enjoy the natural scenery and the charm of the simple small towns. Finally, my journey ended at the Garden Hill General Store, a roadside shop in existence for over a hundred years which has witnessed the changes on this historical Highway.

【安省景物 由你發掘】《情牽九號公路》:2011年我初訪多倫多的九號公路,這是百年前安省中部由西往東長達50公里到米湖的其中一條繁忙的公路,沿途經過不少歷史悠久的小鎮。401公路的出現漸漸代替了九號公路。這天,陽光普照,氣溫攝氏28°,炎熱潮濕。我重返這條舊公路,讓我緬懷沿途的景色和樸實的小鎮風情。最後我抵達途中的小店,結束了這次的旅程。這百年「花園山小店」仍在營業,見證了九號公路的變化歳月。 瀏覽相關照片:
