ABOUT 
PRACTICAL MAGIC
For more than two hundred years, the Owens women have been blamed for everything that has gone wrong in their Massachusetts town. Gillian and Sally have endured that fate as well: as children, the sisters were forever outsiders, taunted, talked about, pointed at. Their elderly aunts almost seemed to encourage the whispers of witchery, with their musty house and their exotic concoctions and their crowd of black cats. But all Gillian and Sally wanted was to escape. One will do so by marrying, the other by running away. But the bonds they share will bring them back—almost as if by magic...

Natural scenery

Boat tour

Having a boat trip in Cambridge can give a good experience of punting on the River Cam and also get lots of interesting stories about each college at the University of Cambridge. However, the cost of it is quite expensive.

King's College Chapel

M22***79

This is where the British king is crowned. Many members of the British royal family and aristocracy are buried here. The architecture is magnificent and worth a visit for those interested in European history and culture.

Trinity College

苏河家园

Travel into Trinity College, Cambridge, with not only beautiful atriums and fountains, but also ancient libraries. The college, built by King Henry VIII of England, has been through the storm and has become one of the largest, most financially powerful and most reputable colleges in Cambridge University. Its deep academic heritage and remarkable historical status are unique and worth a visit.

Mathematical Bridge

Visit the &quot;Mathematical Bridge&quot; attraction at Cambridge University. The bridge cleverly connects the college buildings on both sides of the Jianhe River, which connects not only the physical bridge of the college, but also the history and modernity, and is worth a visit.
