Traveling is my hobby
The feeling of going back to university, walking from the train station to Cambridge University is so scenic and nice.

There is a statue of Henry VIII at the entrance to Trinity College. There is an apple tree on the green lawn at the entrance of the College, which is the source of Newton's law of gravity. When you enter the courtyard of the College, the magnificent building brings a sense of awe. The front hall of the church is filled with jade statues of famous graduates from Trinity College, including Newton, Bacon, Tennyson and others.

I saw the Greek, Roman, Egyptian and Chinese halls. The little brother explained very well, very meticulous, and very funny. I didn’t stop for 2 hours. I didn’t drink a sip of water. It’s too powerful. I recommend booking an explanation when I come to the museum.

The London Eye is a landmark building next to the Thames River in London. It is very beautiful and is a landmark building in London. Getting on the London Eye can have a very good view of the whole London. It is worth seeing, very feeling, full marks.

The best day for me to visit was on Sunday. Not a lot people there on the day, so it was not crowded. After a well planned trip to visit London this was one first stop

I visited St Paul’s cathedral with my friends and it was much bigger than I was expected.Highly recommended to go up to the stairs to get to the whispering gallery and if you’re tough enough, try to get more higher using narrow stairs so you can get out and see the London landscape(my friend did and she liked that). beautiful artworks as well as famous people’s coffin, it’s very entertaining.

Cambridge is a very clean place, the Jianhe is also a unique river form here, the cruise ship is not very spacious, and the scenery along the way is quite good. I like to come here to play.
