Toronto is the most populous city in Canada and the provincial capital of Ontario, located in southern Ontario, northwest of Lake Ontario. With an extremely low crime rate and a mesmerizing environment, Toronto is widely recognized as one of the most livable cities in the world.

As the economic center of Canada, Toronto is also one of the biggest financial centers in the world. Being one of the world’s most diverse cities, Toronto has many different nationalities, which make the whole city splendid and glamorous. In the city, about 50% of its residents are immigrants of more than 100 nationalities of the world, and they speak more than 140 languages.

Located northwest of Lake Ontario, Toronto is one of the most southern cities in Canada. In fact, its latitude is close to the latitude of northern California. The terrain of the whole city is relatively flat, with a few hills, whose altitude gradually falls along Lake Ontario.

Toronto is influenced by the temperate continental climate, with distinct seasons. The spring is short, the summer is humid, the autumn sunny (It is neither too warm nor too cold. The temperature at noon sometimes can climb to the level of the summer), and the winter cold (The cold winter usually lasts to the middle of April). Since the city is near Lake Ontario, the temperature difference between day and night is not much.
