埃德蒙顿市是加拿大艾伯塔省的省会,始建于18世纪末,1891年加拿大太平洋铁路经过这里后开始繁荣。现有人口近百万,是加拿大第5大城市。埃德蒙顿因依偎在落基山的怀抱中,其风光旖旎、景致壮美,人们给它起了一个充满诗意的名字——落基山明珠。早就仰慕埃德蒙顿大名,不久前应移居当地的朋友之邀,我走进了这座风光旖旎的城市。 Edmonton, the capital of Alberta, Canada, was founded in the late 18th century and began to prosper in 1891 when the Pacific Railway of Canada passed through it. The existing population of nearly one million, is Canada’s fifth largest city. Edmonton nestled in the embrace of the Rocky Mountains, its beautiful scenery, magnificent scenery, people give it a poetic name - Pearl Rocky Mountain. Had long admired Edmonton’s name, not long ago should be relocated to the invitation of local friends, I walked into this beautiful scenery of the city.
