Return to England 26 - Day 6 of Tour of England Stay at Christ Church in Oxford

Oxford University, as an ancient university with a history of nearly a thousand years, needs no introduction to its reputation, but the academic, spiritual, cultural and other treasures it contains are as vast as the vast ocean, with architecture, books, art collections, curation, courseware, There are countless forms such as churches as carriers and expressions. This is the third time I have visited Oxford. The first time I have planned a day and included Blenheim Palace. I can only take a quick glance, even if it is only a brief glance, and discovered it at the World Book Curation at the Oxford Library. , when it turned out that there were many books with complex three-dimensional structures in the world, I decided to come to Oxford again. As a Harry Potter fan for the second time, I was attracted here by "The Great Hall" where magic students and wizard professors dine together. I bought a ticket to visit. As a source of inspiration, the Great Hall is really amazing. It was just that there were too many people and the experience was not good. At that time, I decided to have a meal at "The Great Hall" as a student and try to uncover the mystery of the various colleges of this oldest university in the UK. This time I arranged three days and two nights in Oxford. Fortunately, I got accommodation in the student dormitories of two colleges, Christ Church and Kable College. It was an unforgettable experience to wander around two colleges with very different styles. Breakfast is included in your stay, so you can dine in the Great Hall, like a scene from Harry Potter. The "Great Hall" of Christ Church College was built more than 500 years ago and was chosen by "Harry Potter" as the filming location for the Magic Academy's canteen. Keble College has the longest cafeteria in Oxford University. Legend has it that the Harry Potter crew first chose the cafeteria of Keble College, but the college refused to remove the portrait in the cafeteria, thus missing out on Harry Potter. An opportunity for widespread publicity beyond the academic community. The dining hall at Christ Church College has an ancient and solemn temperament, while the dining hall at Keble College is more bright and gorgeous, both of which make people reluctant to leave. Another good thing about this trip was that we arrived at the open days of the colleges of Oxford University. There are only two days a year where you can visit in the name of parents. Many colleges that were previously inaccessible were able to be visited this time. It’s just that The deeper I went, the more I discovered that there were so many things and scenes worth stopping at, so I knew I would come back to Oxford! Tips: 1. In order to supplement school funding, some colleges of the University of Oxford open their student dormitories to tourists every summer vacation. Once you live in the college, you can tour the college in detail and visit many internal facilities. Therefore, tourists from all over the world have responded enthusiastically. A bed is hard to find. 2. Accommodation at Christ Church includes breakfast, so we can dine in the Great Hall as students and happily experience being a student at the Magic Academy. 3. The Great Hall also hosts party events, and sometimes sells loose tickets for dinner. The chance is very small. I haven’t found a way to purchase it yet. 4. Keble College is a treasure college that has been seriously ignored by Chinese tourists. It is extremely beautiful, extremely unique, and a relic that is very different from the image of Oxford. I couldn't get a reservation at Christ Church College on the first day, so I found out about Keble's availability and made the reservation right away. It was extremely worth it. 5. The two weekends in the week before freshmen start school in September are the annual open days of each college. It is really a grand festival for tourists. They can enter major colleges as parents and explore countless treasures in each college. We only visited seven colleges in two days, which was shocking! All I can say is that the best way to explore Oxford is to become its student. There is so much to offer and not enough time.
