The university town of "Cambridge", the highest university in the UK, not only has a strong academic atmosphere, but also has countless beauties! Xu Zhimo's "Farewell Cambridge" left future generations with unlimited imagination and longing for Cambridge. After arriving, visit the beautiful "Cambridge University" located on the banks of the Cam River and the ancient and majestic university groups, including: King's College, Queen's College... and the Bridge of Sighs, which is full of literary and romantic atmosphere. When you come to Cambridge, I really recommend taking a trip to the "Cambridge Pole". This is a boatman (many college students work part-time) who holds a long pole and takes people up the river to Cambridge. Buying a sweatshirt, postcard or magnet with the Cambridge emblem or the Cambridge University logo next to the school is also a favorite souvenir for many people.
