Cradle of human dreams, global innovation hub of Cambridge

Cambridge is the capital of Cambridgeshire, UK, and is world-renowned for the University of Cambridge. Founded in 1209, the University of Cambridge is one of the oldest universities in the world. With a history of over 800 years, Cambridge is a sanctuary of academia, with its 31 colleges standing solemn and sacred. The legend of Newton and the apple, and the poetic musings of Byron resonate here. I remember coming in October 2009, it was raining and very cold. This time, I was fortunate to catch a sunny day. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the ancient buildings and natural beauty blend together, highlighting the leisurely life of Cambridge students. Cambridge is a cradle of dreams, attracting countless students from around the world, and it is also a place of innovation, leading the trends of the times. Famous attractions in Cambridge include: the most magnificent and largest King's College, Trinity College where Newton graduated and where the apple tree of his gravitational discovery stands, St. Mary's Church, St. John's College, and the Bridge of Sighs. Additionally, there is the Eagle Pub, where it is said that two Cambridge scientists first proposed the DNA theory over drinks, giving rise to the name of DAN beer. Unfortunately, due to a tight schedule this time, I didn't have the chance to take a boat tour on the River Cam and admire the quaint and unique bridges along the way.
