🍁 Hey there, fall vibes squad! As we gear up for the 2025 APEC Economic Leaders’ Meeting in Gyeongju (Oct 31–Nov 1), CGTN’s APEC Stories series is celebrating one of Canada’s coolest symbols: the maple leaf.
The maple leaf is EVERYWHERE in Canada—from the red-and-white flag to your morning coffee cup. When autumn hits, forests light up in shades of crimson and gold, turning the landscape into a living canvas. Wander along the famous Maple Leaf Trail and you’ll see what we mean—it’s like scrolling through the most epic fall filter IRL! 😍
But wait, there’s more: maple syrup! This sweet treat comes from tree sap and is a flagship Canadian industry. In 2024, producers tapped out 19.9 million gallons—a 91.3% surge over 2023—thanks to perfect weather and healthy trees. Drizzle it on pancakes or stir it into your bubble tea for the ultimate fusion treat. 🍯
From vibrant foliage to liquid gold, Canada’s maple magic is a must-see (and must-taste) for anyone chasing travel inspo. Who’s adding the Maple Leaf Trail to their bucket list? 🙌
