Lake Moraine (梦莲湖)
Like Lake Louise, Lake Moraine is fed by glaciers and gets its unique blue color from rock flour (岩乳). The mountains behind the lake are in the Valley of Ten Peaks, and they are famous throughout Canada because for many years they were on the Canadian $20 bill.
Lake Louis in Canada is a landmark glacial lake in the Rocky Mountains. Because of the minerals and rock powder carried by glacial meltwater, it presents a unique blue-green color, with light green near the shore and green far from the shore, and it is as bright as jade under the sunlight. Lake Louis is famous for its natural wonders and ecological diversity. It is one of the most representative landscapes in the Canadian Rocky Mountains and is suitable for natural exploration and leisure vacation.

Notes：提示词
[Background: sound of train tracks and other passengers' conversations.]
Daiyu: So then, Canada must have cool summers as well.
Anna: That's certainly true of many places. However, many areas of south Canada have a continental climate, with very hot summers and very cold winters, so some days it gets as hot as an oven.
Liu Qian: Is all of Canada full of mountains like here
Anna: Oh, no. In fact, by the time we get to Edmonton, we’ll be in the Prairie. This is as flat as a pancake and stretches for as far as the eye can see — more than 1, 300 kilometres — until we reach Winnipeg. After that, there are lakes and forests.
