When you come to Cambridge, England, you must go to the open-air market in the city center and go to the River Conn to support the boat pole😆 When I went to the market that day, it was around 1pm on Friday. Only some fruit shops, fresh fish stalls and shops selling hand rolls were open. It was likely that they would be open on Saturday/Sunday😅 But the mutton hand rolls were really delicious 🐑 And we bought about $ 220 of salmon, snow fish fillet and face pearl dumpling back to the bnb to cook at the fish stall, super cheap 🐟🐟🐟 Another must-see, is to take a small boat ride on the Kang River, the price of about $ 300 a person 🙈 The weather was bad that day, it was raining very densely, but also because of this, the whole Kang River only had three small boats 😆 The boatman said the peak season is especially important In good weather, the whole river can have 500 small boats together at the same time😱 Normal cruise ship, the boatman will not let you support the pole, because it is very difficult to control 😆 And that day because of the rain, plus the weather is still cold, the boat company provides hot water bags for each passenger 😍 and passengers can share Large blanket and umbrella to keep warm and protect from the rain ❤️ Very courteous Along the Kang River through the Bridge of Sighs, the Math Bridge, the University College, the dormitory, the green grass field...it really has a British atmosphere and taste😌 After 45 minutes, you will be back to the starting point to board the boat. Although a little expensive, but to Cambridge, the cruise is really a signature! 🤩🙌🏻 #UK attractions #Cambridge #Gently I'm gone

#celebratewithtrip #unitedkingdom #cambridge When we went to Cambridge, we did a trip on the river. It's called punting We passed by this bridge and were amazed by the structure. This historical footbridge was built with all straight timbers & thoughtful engineering. Although it appears to be an arch, it is composed entirely of straight timbers built to an unusually sophisticated engineering design, hence the name. You can view this bridge from the end of Mill lane where you can board a Punt for a trip up the river Cams, to actually go across the bridge you will need to pay to go into Queens college.

The ancient buildings surround patches of lawns, and the winding alleys are dotted with exquisite shops. Colorful flyers and bicycles create the unique street scene of Cambridge. You can steal a moment to experience boating on the River Cam or wander through the various colleges to feel the cultural atmosphere. Because of Xu Zhimo's 'Farewell to Cambridge Again,' Cambridge seems both familiar and strange... Located 60 kilometers north of London, Cambridge is a traditional university town, with the city center almost entirely occupied by various colleges. The city itself is not large, and the recommended time for a visit is 1-2 days. The nameplates of the colleges are usually quite low-key, so those planning to explore freely upon arrival might miss hidden beauties. It's better to plan a route in advance. [River Cam Punting] The River Cam runs through the city, and if you have enough time, experiencing punting in Cambridge is also a good idea. You can get a rough overview of all the famous landmarks and save on the college entrance fees to see the sights. You can capture the beauty from different angles compared to walking tours. Xu Zhimo also mentioned in 'Farewell to Cambridge Again': 'Seeking dreams? Punting with a long pole, drifting towards the greener grass...' [College Highlights] The colleges near the River Cam are well-known traditional colleges and popular tourist spots. Here are some must-visit points: the apple tree at Trinity College (said to be a descendant of the one that fell on Newton), the chapel at King's College, the medieval courtyard at Queens' College, and the Bridge of Sighs at St. John's College. [Bridges of Cambridge] Bridge of Sighs: Among the famous bridges in Cambridge, the most renowned is the Bridge of Sighs. Students who failed their exams often sighed here, hence the name. The sunlight passing through the semi-arched bridge body scatters on the buildings of St. John's College, creating a beautiful dappled light and shadow effect. Mathematical Bridge: Newton's masterpiece, designed and built using mechanical principles without a single nail. Later, a curious student dismantled it but couldn't rebuild it. Eventually, it was reconstructed with nails, and that's the Mathematical Bridge we see today, located at Queens' College. [Open-Air Market] The eastern part of Cambridge is a relatively concentrated shopping area, with a traditional open-air market that has existed since the Middle Ages, located near Great St. Mary's Church. It is especially lively on weekends, selling everything from fresh fruits and vegetables to clothes and jewelry, books to flowers, as well as handicrafts and street food. After seeing the various college buildings and scholars, take a stroll through this bustling market. Xu Zhimo once recalled, 'In Cambridge, I was busy walking, boating, cycling, smoking, chatting, having five o'clock tea, buttered scones, and reading idle books,' perfectly interpreting the word leisurely. Bright and cheerful Cambridge, though science-oriented, is full of romantic humanistic feelings. Spend a day here, and you will surely fall in love with it.

It was such a nice experience 🇬🇧🩷#uk #cambridge #unitedkingdom #travel Review of Cambridge Cambridge is an absolutely enchanting city that seamlessly blends history, culture, and natural beauty. The architecture of the colleges is breathtaking, with each one offering its own unique charm. Walking along the cobblestone streets and across the famous bridges, like the Mathematical Bridge and the Bridge of Sighs, felt like stepping back in time. Punting on the River Cam was a highlight, offering stunning views of the “Backs” and the iconic King’s College Chapel. The atmosphere is peaceful yet vibrant, thanks to the mix of historic landmarks and the lively student presence. The museums, like the Fitzwilliam Museum, were an unexpected treat, and the local cafes and bookstores added to the charm. Whether you’re a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply looking for a relaxing getaway, Cambridge has something to offer. It’s a must-visit destination that left me wanting to return!

#GlobalTravel Today I want to share with you my one-day trip to Cambridge ~ It only takes one hour by train from London! The first stop you must check in is of course King's College ~ The students around are walking around in black robes, feeling like Harry Potter 🪄 The most recommended experience is definitely punt rowing! We also met a senior who served as our tour guide. He not only introduced the attractions but also shared many campus secrets. We passed the Mathematical Bridge and the Bridge of Sighs along the way. The whole journey was super relaxing. There is also the apple tree in the city center where Newton discovered gravity, although it is no longer the original tree... In the afternoon, I ate the legendary chelsea bun at Fitzbillies, paired with English milk tea, which was full of literary and artistic feeling! ☕️Took a lot of beautiful photos🤍 I went to Jack's Gelato, which was recommended by many people. I waited in line for a while before I got to eat. I personally felt that it was nothing special... I especially recommend Michaelhouse Cafe, a cafe in a church! Special experience ⛪️ There are so many great places in Cambridge. Just find a place nearby to sit for an afternoon, read a book and enjoy a cup of coffee. It's really relaxing. #Cambridge #Cambridge #BritishTravel #UniversityofCambridge #Check-inAttractions #StudyabroadLife #Travel #BritishLife

I've always been fascinated by the University of Cambridge, a sanctuary of knowledge 🎓. So, I embarked on a journey to the enchanting land of Cambridge and checked into the Graduate Cambridge hotel, kicking off an amazing adventure 🎉. Upon arriving in Cambridge, I quickly found the Graduate Cambridge hotel. The front desk staff were incredibly welcoming, and the 24-hour service was reassuring. As I entered my room, I noticed the desk was perfectly placed, the lounge area was super cozy, and the flat-screen TV had cable channels. It was fantastic 👍. The next morning, after enjoying a delicious English à la carte breakfast at the hotel, I headed straight to the University of Cambridge. The hotel is conveniently located near the University of Cambridge, St. Catharine's College, and the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, all within walking distance. Strolling through the university campus, the ancient buildings exuded a strong academic atmosphere. Trinity College was magnificent, where Newton once left his great legacy; the chapel at King's College was a gem of architectural art, with stained glass and a dome so breathtakingly beautiful 😍. During my tour, I learned about the university's numerous academic achievements and legendary stories, where great scholars once dedicated themselves to research. The River Cam, like a flowing ribbon, added a poetic and gentle touch to the campus. Each bridge over the river had its own unique charm, with the Mathematical Bridge's structure being particularly distinctive, perfectly blending mathematics and architecture. In Cambridge, I fully immersed myself in the culture and scenery. Whether exploring the source of knowledge, enjoying leisure time, or relaxing in the hotel garden, I felt the unique charm of Cambridge. As I left, my heart was filled with reluctance, but this journey will forever remain in my memory as a precious recollection 🥰.

Cambridge, known for its world-renowned university, offers a unique and serene way to explore the town—punting along the River Cam. While punting may look similar to kayaking or rowing, it has its own distinct style and charm, and it’s a quintessential experience in this historic town. What is Punting? Punting involves propelling a flat-bottomed boat using a long pole. As you glide along the river, you’ll pass under ancient stone bridges, alongside lush green meadows, and have stunning views of Cambridge’s iconic colleges. Punting gives you a fresh perspective of the town. You’ll float by famous landmarks like King’s College Chapel, the Bridge of Sighs, and The Backs—a picturesque area where you can see the back facades of the most beautiful university buildings. It’s a peaceful escape from the bustling streets, and you can either take a guided tour or try your hand at punting yourself! As you punt through Cambridge, you’re surrounded by centuries of academic history. Founded in 1209, Cambridge University has produced countless famous alumni, including Sir Isaac Newton and Stephen Hawking. The town’s scholarly atmosphere is palpable, and punting provides a relaxing yet intellectually enriching way to soak in the town’s legacy. Punting is not just a tourist activity; it’s a beloved local tradition. Students and visitors alike have enjoyed this leisurely pastime for generations. Whether you're visiting Cambridge for the first time or a local, punting on the Cam offers a magical way to experience the town’s rich history and natural beauty. #kayak #punting #cambridge #unitedkingdom

Cambridge has many bridges, but the most famous are the Magdalene Bridge, Bridge of Sighs, Kitchen Bridge, Trinity Bridge, Garret Hostel Bridge, Clare Bridge, King's Bridge, and Mathematical Bridge. The Mathematical Bridge, which spans the River Cam at Queen's College, is the most famous. Legend has it that it was designed and built by Newton, and that not a single nail was used in its construction. It is an ancient wooden bridge. Another legend says that Newton's students once dismantled the bridge, but were unable to restore it to its original state. In the end, they had to use nails to rebuild the bridge. Of course, these are just legends. Today, the bridges of Cambridge are still standing. Although they have been weathered by the years, people have given them new meanings. However, their stories and legends continue to attract the interest of tourists.
