There's something inspiring about strolling through #harvardyard. There's a peacefulness there, but also a sense of melancholy at what might have been had we other made different choices in life or had the fortune to be born with better opportunities. Anytime I was in Cambridge, I'd make a point to visit Harvard Yard.

let's go to Harvard Square
World-renowned "Harvard University", a must-visit in Boston!
Boston is a famous university town, home to Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard University. Our itinerary in Boston is 4 days, with one day dedicated to visiting Harvard University.
❶Address (Cambridge, MA 02138), take the MBTA red line to Harvard Square and walk about 5 minutes to reach Harvard Plaza.
❷ Famous attraction: (lots of red brick buildings)
⭐️Harvard Square, where you can find many Harvard souvenirs. Whether you're returning home after graduation or traveling, you can choose to buy some souvenirs to bring back or give to family and friends.
⭐️Wadsworth House, located next to Harvard Square, can be seen by entering through the Wadsworth Gate. It is now used as offices, but during the Revolutionary War it was where leaders researched battle plans.
⭐️Johnston Gate, the officially recognized main entrance of the university.
⭐️John Harvard Statue, a landmark building of Harvard University, also known as the Statue of Three Lies, meaning he never took a photo in his lifetime haha. Legend has it that touching the shoes of the statue will improve academic performance, everyone is welcome to come and try.
⭐️The Coops, Harvard's bookstore. In the center of the bookstore hangs Harvard's school emblem, which consists of three books with letters that combine to form the Latin word for "truth," VERITAS!
⭐️Widener Library, the largest library at Harvard University.
⭐️Fogg Art Museum, located in Harvard University, houses a collection of Western art treasures from the Middle Ages to the present day. It also includes murals forcibly removed from Dunhuang by Langdon Warner using glue, which I consider to be a very shameful act.
As a world-class university, Harvard has many places worth visiting, exploring, and learning from!
