University of Cambridge
柳叶随风VLog
Cambridge University is an open town, consisting of 31 independent colleges, of which Trinity College is located in the center of the town. It is known as the cradle of prime ministers because it has produced 20 British prime ministers. It is also the alma mater of Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple. The scenery on both sides of the River Cam is charming and picturesque. The historic buildings, towering clock towers, exquisite statues, beautiful gardens, etc. are all full of strong cultural atmosphere.
Tyrrell's Punting

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.
Trinity College

There is a statue of Henry VIII at the entrance of 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 "universal gravitation". When you enter the Great Court of the college, the magnificent architecture brings a sense of awe. In the lobby of the church are jade statues of famous graduates from Trinity College, including Newton, Bacon, Tennyson and others.

Beautiful place to visit on a lovely sunny day. Nice walks round. Can ho on the pedalos, train and do different activities. could easily become expensive though. cafes were ok.
The Corpus Clock

This photo was taken at night, so the clock is a little unclear. However, standing in front of it and watching it ticking forward, I still feel a little nervous. After all, no one can control time.

Mathematical Bridge

The Mathematical Bridge is a bridge in Cambridge, England. It spans the River Cam on the campus of the University of Cambridge, connecting the campuses of Queen's College on both sides of the River Cam, between Trinity College and Trinity Hall. The Mathematical Bridge is its unofficial name, and its official name is just "Wooden Bridge". The Mathematical Bridge was designed by William Etheridge II and built by James Essex in 1749. The Mathematical Bridge was rebuilt in 1866 and 1905, but the original design has not changed. The bridge has now been replaced by a new bridge, with wooden strips arranged in an arc to support the bridge, and other horizontal parts to form a triangular structure to fix the bridge. This structure effectively uses wood without wasting it, and borrows the arch design commonly seen in stone bridges to strengthen its structure.
However, there are several theories about the design of the Mathematical Bridge: 1. The bridge was designed by China, and some special mathematical equations were used in the design, which gave it the name of the Mathematical Bridge. 2. The bridge was designed by an ordinary student. The design of the bridge (weight and angles) was very precise, and not even a nail was used. A professor was amazed when he saw the bridge and wanted to dismantle it to understand the design of the bridge. However, after the professor dismantled the bridge, there was no way to rebuild the bridge using the original design, so the professor rebuilt the bridge using nails. 3. The bridge was designed and built by Newton. Like the second legend, his design did not use a nail. After seeing the design of the bridge, the students dismantled the bridge, but there was no way to rebuild it. However, this statement is not true because Newton died 22 years before the bridge was built.
