Cambridge City - the home for University of Cambridge which comprises 31 colleges and over 150 departments, museums and other institutions. University of Cambridge literally does not exist, instead, all the colleges in Cambridge City combine together and form University of Cambridge! The few most popular colleges are King's College, Queen's College, Trinity College, and more...! Sounds awesome isn't it?

No doubt learning is the major activity in here BUT tourists like us do not go there for study right? So there goes another famous activity - Punting! They are owned by the university students, many of the students work as punters to get extra income to support their livings. Tourists can choose whether to punt the boat themselves or hire a student punter. The punters in Cambridge are very friendly that they do introduce us every attractions we saw during the punt tour!

During the punt tour along the River Cam, you will see this English masterpiece - the King's College Chapel. It's oldest, largest, and most spectacular chapel which you can find in Cambridge! It is considered one of the finest examples of late Gothic architecture.

Colleges in Cambridge do have very unique architecture, and most of them are build with Gothic style. When you're walking around in Cambridge, it makes you feels like you're now being in Middle Age.

There's a large golden sculpcutural clock located just outside Taylor Library of Corpus Christi College! The clock has no hands or numbers instead, it uses blue LEDs to display the time. You will notice there's a giant grasshopper with its mouth constantly moving, appearing to "eat up" every second as they passed. I must said it's one of the world most expensive clock in the world where it used up to £1 million to build it!

I guess everyone of you had heard of Sir Isaac Newton, who discover the gravity because of an apple falling from the tree! Guess what? Myth said that the legendary apple tree is actually in here! Right beside the Great Gate of Trinity College.

It would be such a waste if you miss the Church of Holy Sepulchre, the Round Church. It is the second oldest building you find in Cambridge and it's also one of the four medieval round churches that is still in use in England!

Besides colleges, churches and chapel, there are also plenty of museums to be visited in Cambridge, but due to time constraint, we did not get to visit all of them. The first museum that we pay our visit is the Fitzwilliam Museum, the museum is so grand that you will be amazed by its iconic outlook! You get to see remarkable collections of the ancient worlds in Fitzwilliam Museum.

The next museum we choose is a very interesting museum where it collects earliest forms of life from more than 3000 million years ago, to the wildlife that roamed the Fens less than 150,000 years ago - The Segwick Museum of Earth Sciences! It's basically a room that houses the animal dead bodies... Opps!

This is actually the first thing we saw during our trip to Cambridge, it's a wooden footbridge. It's called the Mathematical Bridge where myth says it was first designed and built by Sir Isaac Newton without using any bolts and nuts. Somehow, students of the University decided to take the bridge apart and rebuilt it, but were failed to put it back together, in the end, they use bolts and nuts to build it.

Last but not least! Remember to take as many as nice pictures you can in Cambridge! Tadaaa~
