Cambridge is the capital of Cambridge, England, and the seat of Cambridge University. As early as two thousand years ago, the Romans camped and stationed troops in this place about 90 kilometers from London. However, in the long years, Cambridge was only a rural market town. It was not until Cambridge University was founded that the name of this town gradually became known. Today, it is a city with a population of 92,000.
Although Cambridge is as famous as Oxford and a world-famous university, the atmosphere here is different from Oxford. Oxford is called "the city in the university" and Cambridge is called "the university in the city". ?
Although many medieval buildings are preserved here, Cambridge is still bright and modern in terms of its appearance. There are also many theaters, art galleries and other facilities that are not commensurate with the size of the city, which makes this university town exude a strong literary atmosphere.
