Oxford, UK: A Millennium City of Academia and History
Oxford is a city in southeastern England, located about 80 kilometers northwest of London, at the confluence of the Thames and Chartwell Rivers, and is famous for the University of Oxford, the world's leading academic institution, known as the "Mecca of Academia". Teaching has been recorded in the city since 1096, and Oxford's teaching system and collegiate system have had a profound impact on higher education around the world. The city's architectural treasures from the Middle Ages, such as the Bridge of Sighs at Christ Church College, the ancient manuscripts in the Bodleian Library, and the 38 colleges spread throughout the city, each tell a story of its long history. Oxford is not only a center of academic research, but has also spawned 26 British prime ministers, several Nobel Prize winners and literary giants such as C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. Strolling through the cobbled streets, the Gothic spires and modern research centers are a perfect blend of tradition and innovation, attracting students and tourists from all over the world to explore the roots of knowledge.
