Oxford – The College Town with Strong England Cultural Touch

I didn’t have time to go deeper, explore further about Oxford. Still, the condensed version of Oxford I captured has the enriched culture theme and historical heritage impressively. I will revisit there again.

After visiting Cambridge, I decided to spend another day exploring the other famous college town: Oxford, which has a high academic reputation and education credential. Like the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford is also divided into thirty plus different colleges with different academic focus.

That is the chilly sunshine day, there are many buses running back and forth between London and Oxford, and there are beautiful landscape sceneries on the way. The green trees on the roadside, the cloud mountain on the remote horizon is truly amazing, and makes you ponder around the imaginary wonderland, the fairy tale world in the higher space.

It took about two hours for the bus to arrive in Oxford downtown, which is mixed with antique architecture building and contemporary west gate shopping center, anthropological museums and fashion boutiques. In Cambridge, we walked through cam bridges, in Oxford, there is a sign bridge.

Walking across Oxford street, I found the direction to Oxford botanic garden; there are architecture buildings even inside the garden, green meadow across the lake, people walk, chat, take a rest, passing through the garden, the scenery looks great.

After a short visit due to the time limit, I headed to the street again, walking a while, getting to the places cross the King’s college, with a few unique buildings nearby. After that, I visited Oxford Publishing and introduced my work, their staff are friendly. An then, I sat at the restaurant downtown, ordered the daily vegetable soup with slices of bread, it tasted delicious. After lunch, going to a few tourists’ hotspots nearby, many places are crowded; outside the building of Soul’s College, Queen’s college, etc. 

I went to visit one of the famous museums in Oxford. There is the world class collection of art, sculpture, paintings, categorized by geographical location of the word, such as Europe, Asia, Africa, America, etc. In the coffee shop, there are quite many local ladies who sipped coffee and enjoyed their day in the museum.

 
I need to go back to London in the afternoon, unfortunately, I didn’t have time to go deeper, explore further about Oxford. Still, the condensed version of Oxford I captured has the enriched culture theme and historical heritage impressively.
