加拿大国家电视塔


加拿大国家电视塔(CN Tower)建于1976年,是世界上最高的建筑物,高达五百五十三公尺,比目前世界第一高楼的台北101还要高四十四公尺,堪称是多伦多的市标。起初加拿大国家电视塔并非因游客观光而建。1950年代之前,多伦多地区有的只是矮矮的平房建筑;到了60年代,高楼大厦纷纷从地平在线窜升。繁华的背后带来了严重的多伦多大气电波及电讯收发的混乱,于是就在湖边兴建一座高高在上的讯号塔来解决所有的问题。现今,每年有将近两百万名观光客搭乘观景电梯上升到高塔的瞭望台,饱瞰安大略湖和多伦多的湖光美景。


天气良好时,视野更可至安大略湖对面的美国城市,并有机会远眺令人叹为观止的尼加拉瀑布彩虹飞雾。虽然乘电梯上塔只需一分钟,不过仍有不少人选择以爬一千七百七十六级的楼梯来挑战自己。尽管近年来多伦多的天际线冒出了各式各样非常显眼的新建筑,加拿大国家电视塔仍然占据了视觉的焦点。加拿大国家电视塔实为多伦多的天际线画下令人难忘的轮廓。
