Li Daiyu and Liu Qian were on a trip in Canada. They decided to travel by train instead of by plane. As they go to the east, they will pass mountains, lakes and forests, together with rivers and cities. Vancouver is surrounded by the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. You can ski in the mountains and sail in the harbor here. Aboard the train, the cousins sat down in their seats and began their journey. When they crossed the Rocky Mountains, they succeeded in seeing mountain goats and an eagle. Their next stop was Calgary, which is famous for the Calgary Stampede. Many of the cowboys are good at riding horses and can win prizes.
