Years ago, while applying for my Canadian student visa, I used the Bank of Montreal\u2019s Chinese-language service. To my surprise, the name was translated as <strong>\u201c\u6ee1\u5730\u53ef\u94f6\u884c\u201d<\/strong>, or \u201cMandike Bank.\u201d It sounded nothing like \u201cMontreal\u201d in either English or French.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"717\" height=\"402\" src=\"https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-13.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1805\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-13.png 717w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-13-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-13-18x10.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 717px) 100vw, 717px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As I\u2019ve since discovered during my years in Canada, most local Chinese residents and even banking professionals are unfamiliar with this quirky translation. The phrase <strong>\u201c\u6ee1\u5730\u53ef\u201d<\/strong> (Mandike) is actually a historical Chinese transliteration of &#8220;Montreal,&#8221; coined by Qing-dynasty scholar and translator Wang Tao. Though the name has faded from daily use, traces of it still echo through the city. Walk through Montreal\u2019s Chinatown today, and you\u2019ll find signs and landmarks proudly bearing the old name\u2014a quiet nod to the long, layered history between the city and its Chinese community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This time, I took the VIA Rail train eastbound from Toronto to Montreal\u2014a route I\u2019d only ever taken westward before, all the way to the Rockies. Old Montreal is, in fact, the farthest point east that VIA Rail trains reach directly from Toronto. To venture further into Quebec, such as the historic city of Qu\u00e9bec itself, a transfer is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_75 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseprofile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/en\/canada-travel-en\/quebec-en\/montreal-notes-1_en\/#The_Journey_Begins_Disappointments_and_Pleasant_Surprises\" >The Journey Begins: Disappointments and Pleasant Surprises<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/en\/canada-travel-en\/quebec-en\/montreal-notes-1_en\/#Montreal_A_Terrible_Walking_Experience\" >Montreal: A Terrible Walking Experience<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/en\/canada-travel-en\/quebec-en\/montreal-notes-1_en\/#Back_to_the_Hostel_A_Second_Stay_in_Montreal\" >Back to the Hostel: A Second Stay in Montreal<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/en\/canada-travel-en\/quebec-en\/montreal-notes-1_en\/#Montreals_Journey_A_Deep_Conversation_with_the_City\" >Montreal\u2019s Journey: A Deep Conversation with the City<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/en\/canada-travel-en\/quebec-en\/montreal-notes-1_en\/#Stay_Experience_Auberge_Saintlo_Montreal\" >Stay Experience: Auberge Saintlo Montr\u00e9al<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/en\/canada-travel-en\/quebec-en\/montreal-notes-1_en\/#Afternoon_Journey_Summary\" >Afternoon Journey Summary<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Journey_Begins_Disappointments_and_Pleasant_Surprises\"><\/span><strong>The Journey Begins: Disappointments and Pleasant Surprises<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A few hours before my departure, my phone suddenly broke down, leaving me without a way to capture photos during the entire trip. However, the many pleasant surprises along the way more than made up for this unfortunate setback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway that heads west, the eastern railway is much younger, and as a result, faster. The trains are lower, making them more suitable for city railway tracks and platforms. The train and Montreal station are completely aligned, unlike the trains heading west, which require additional steps for boarding and disembarking. Trains between Ottawa and Montreal run frequently throughout the day, making it easy to do day trips to Montreal for business or even for tasks like applying for visas from specific countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The train ride from Toronto to Montreal takes about the same amount of time as driving, but the comfort level is far superior. On the train, you can use the restroom at any time, and enjoy a hot cup of coffee. The scenic views along the way, especially as the train travels through Ontario, are absolutely mesmerizing. Moreover, there\u2019s no need to worry about driving fatigue or safety concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Montreal_A_Terrible_Walking_Experience\"><\/span><strong>Montreal: A Terrible Walking Experience<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I had expected some delays with the train, but what I didn\u2019t anticipate was how poor the walking experience would be in Montreal. The Apple Store, which was supposed to be a 5-minute walk from the station according to the map, took me a full 20 minutes to reach. Many people online complain about construction in Montreal during the tourist season, and initially, I thought they might be exaggerating. After all, in Canada, the construction window is limited due to the harsh weather.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_171613-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1806\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_171613-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_171613-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_171613-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_171613-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_171613-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_171613-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the traffic situation near Montreal\u2019s train station made me rethink this complaint\u2014roads were blocked off everywhere, and there were no clear signs indicating which way to go. I ended up walking in circles several times before finally arriving at the Apple Store for my appointment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, my phone couldn\u2019t be repaired. However, I was surprised by the level of bilingualism at the store. Almost every employee could speak both French and English fluently. This was a stark contrast to my experience in Old Quebec City, where many people preferred to speak only French, even refusing to speak English. I remember one time in a souvenir shop, I told the shopkeeper that my English wasn\u2019t very good, and she smiled and said, \u201cNeither is mine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Montreal, though, regardless of whether you\u2019re in a store or talking to staff members, everyone speaks both languages fluidly. I don\u2019t speak French, but I could tell that their English accents were exceptionally clear and pleasant. This was something I hadn\u2019t encountered in Toronto, where the accents can vary so widely that I sometimes struggle to understand specific ones. In Montreal, however, the accents of the staff\u2014including an Indian employee who helped me with my phone\u2014were so neutral and standard that it was almost impossible to tell their ethnic background.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_172140-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1807\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_172140-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_172140-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_172140-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_172140-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_172140-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_172140-1024x1365.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_172140-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Back_to_the_Hostel_A_Second_Stay_in_Montreal\"><\/span><strong>Back to the Hostel: A Second Stay in Montreal<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For this trip to Montreal, I chose to stay at a youth hostel again, booking a room at the Saintlo chain\u2019s downtown branch. The hostel is in a great location, right next to a metro station and surrounded by a quiet residential area, making it ideal for a restful night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"759\" src=\"https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-14-1024x759.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1808\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-14-1024x759.png 1024w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-14-300x222.png 300w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-14-768x569.png 768w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-14-16x12.png 16w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/image-14.png 1114w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I booked a 6-person dorm with personal bed curtains, offering decent privacy, which is a thoughtful design for a hostel. However, compared to the Ottawa branch I stayed in later, Montreal\u2019s hostel had some shortcomings in terms of details. For example, after I moved to the upper bunk, the lower bunk guest complained that the light from the overhead would seep through the gaps in the bed slats, disturbing their rest. On the positive side, every bed at the Montreal hostel is equipped with its own power outlet, which is a better feature than the Ottawa branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite these issues, this hostel is still one of the best-value options in Montreal. All rooms come with private bathrooms and toilets, and other floors have communal lounges and additional bathroom facilities. The other hostel I stayed at later had a better location and more diverse breakfast options, but it only had a few shared bathrooms, and the space was tight and inconvenient to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_173411-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1809\" srcset=\"https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_173411-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_173411-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_173411-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_173411-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_173411-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/roamingtianya.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/IMG_20241008_173411-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>As for breakfast, the Montreal branch&#8217;s dining area is located in the basement, and it\u2019s a bit cramped. The breakfast options were limited and repetitive. I had mentioned in my previous article that the place smelled strongly of fermented bread and had overripe bananas. Overall, it didn\u2019t compare to the bright and varied breakfast offerings at the Ottawa branch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The service at the Montreal hostel was decent, but the front desk staff was not very proactive or professional in offering travel advice or assistance. The overall atmosphere was somewhat cold. In contrast, the Ottawa staff was much friendlier and provided much better service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, Auberge Saintlo Montr\u00e9al is a well-equipped, affordable hostel suitable for budget travelers, though there\u2019s still room for improvement in service and attention to detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Montreals_Journey_A_Deep_Conversation_with_the_City\"><\/span><strong>Montreal\u2019s Journey: A Deep Conversation with the City<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The second half of my day allowed me to engage more deeply with Montreal&#8217;s history and architecture: the greenery and vibrancy of Dorchester Square, and the solemnity and elegance of the Cathedral of Mary, Queen of the World.
