This is a specimen of the college that God has placed on earth. The footprints of Newton, Byron, and Hawking are stacked on the cobblestones. Unopened love letters and equations float in the water of the River Cam. Some people say that this place is like an open-air version of Hogwarts. Others say that the apple tree that hit Newton&#39;s head was planted here. But Xu Zhimo revealed the secret a hundred years ago - &quot;My eyes were opened by Cambridge.&quot; You must come to Cambridge to collect a flowing feast. When dusk passes over the Bridge of Sighs of St. John&#39;s College, you will hear Xu Zhimo whispering in the wind: &quot;Silence is the sheng and flute of parting, and silence is Cambridge tonight.&quot;

Having a boat trip in Cambridge can give a good experience of punting on the River Cam and also get lots of interesting stories about each college at the University of Cambridge. However, the cost of it is quite expensive.

Trinity College

There is a statue of Henry VIII at the entrance of Trinity College. There is an apple tree on the green lawn at the entrance of the college, which is the source of Newton&#39;s law of &quot;universal gravitation&quot;. When you enter the Great Court of the college, the magnificent architecture brings a sense of awe. In the lobby of the church are jade statues of famous graduates from Trinity College, including Newton, Bacon, Tennyson and others.

This photo was taken at night, so the clock is a little unclear. However, standing in front of it and watching it ticking forward, I still feel a little nervous. After all, no one can control time.
