Cambridge is really super beautiful, there is really a feeling of wanting to stay here all the time, even if you can't do your learning, it is very pleasant to read a book and take a walk every day, but unfortunately the time left for Cambridge in the itinerary is only an hour.
Cambridge sigh bridge, is already a famous attraction on campus, listen to the accompanying friends introduced, this bridge has a special meaning for students, the scenery is also particularly beautiful. I have to sigh.
One of the many allusions of Cambridge University. Legend has it that a promenade in the Beijing Foreign Studies University Press Building is imitating it. When you go to play, don't be surprised if the boating brother reads Xu Zhimo's poem to you.

Cambridge Sigh Bridge is a must-see attraction to Cambridge. You can pass by the Cambridge cruise. It feels good to go on the river.
Within St John's College, the River Sword, built in 1831, connects the old and new courtyards of the College. Queen Victoria is said to have been amazed when she visited the bridge: so beautiful! so chic! It resembles a covered bridge, divided into upper, middle and lower levels. The lower level is a half-oval bridge hole across the Sword River; in the middle is a passageway, the promenade. Unlike other promenades, its path is not flat, but arched, and pedestrians cross the bridge up and down. The two sides of the bridge are semi-closed, symmetrical five pairs of vaulted cement frame glass windows with steel bars, for lighting; the upper layer is flat, similar to the bridge of a general cement bridge, the two sides of the top side stand balancedly with each other's symmetrical spire decoration. The entire bridge is yellowish.
In the afternoon, I was basking in the sun on a cruise ship in Kanghewo. I watched the Cambridge scholar-tyrants on both sides of the river talking and loving. I listened to the local guides introducing the architecture and history on both sides of the Kanghe River. I was walking in the sun all the way at St. John's College. Originally deliberately picked the rainy day and suddenly turned cloudy to sunny on the train. If you have a chance, you must want to go to Cambridge. How beautiful! Unfortunately, I don't have that brain.
