Cambridge: An Unforgettable Trip Through Colleges and the River Cam

King's College, Cambridge

Cambridge, often referred to as one of the "Twin Stars of England" alongside Oxford, is one of the world's most famous university cities. It is renowned for Cambridge University—not only a world-class academic institution but also a city brimming with poetry and wisdom. The willows and spires, colleges and bridges along the River Cam create a tranquil and elegant scene, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of England.

From the magnificent dome of King's College Chapel to Newton's apple tree at Trinity College, from the romantic legend of the Bridge of Sighs to the ingenious design of the Mathematical Bridge, every corner of Cambridge is imbued with the brilliance of knowledge and stories. You can take a boat trip on the River Cam (Punting) and see the classical beauty of the colleges reflected on the water; or stroll among the markets and bookstores and feel the rich academic and youthful atmosphere.
