Things to do in Canterbury

This is a very worthwhile church to visit. It was built in the Middle Ages, more than 1,000 years ago, and is one of the oldest Christian buildings in the UK. After years of expansion and renovation, it is quite magnificent. Gothic architecture, colorful glass, and the original appearance is preserved intact. It is a pity that there is no Chinese version of the audio guide at present.

It was a lovely trip. There is a good walk to the end of the cliff if you are coming by train. At places, the walk is naturally steep because it's a hill, so I won't prefer going on the hottest days. The best time I would say would be March-April or August.

The bunker of Dover Castle was the command post of the Dunkirk evacuation, and there was also an attached hospital. The view from the castle is excellent, you can see the sea, the city, and the castle green. There are not so many people, at least there is a lack of commercial facilities.

Seeing some friends asking what style of chapel this is, I thought I'd write something... St Augustine Abbey, a monastery known as a world cultural heritage, is worth a visit. It is one of the most important monasteries in medieval England, with fascinating architecture, majestic memorials, and a charming atmosphere. Visiting this place is to seek spiritual cultivation, giving us the opportunity to touch the birthplace of spiritual cultivation in the English world. For nearly a thousand years, St Augustine's Abbey has been a center of learning and Christian spirituality. When these missionaries realized the difficulties they faced, Augustine and his companions wanted to give up their mission. But Pope Gregory strongly opposed it, so they were forced to continue their mission. They eventually arrived in the Kingdom of Kent, where King Ethelberht of Kent was one of the most powerful men in England. Although he had not yet converted to Christianity, perhaps because he married a Christian wife, King Ethelbert welcomed Augustine and his missionaries and let them land outside the walls of the East City of Canterbury. Augustine and his companions did not initially have much success in Canterbury. Later, with the help of Queen Bertha, King Ethelbert eventually converted to Christianity, and then more and more of his subjects did the same. Augustine later became the first archbishop of Canterbury (the capital of the Kingdom of Kent). The kings of England successively became Christian countries, and Canterbury became the religious capital of England. Within 100 years, Augustine's work changed the whole of England, and the monastery named after him was the center of British Christianity. Over the centuries, St. Augustine's Abbey developed into a great Romanesque monastery, one of the grandest and most influential monasteries in Europe. However, this power and influence did not last. During the reign of Henry VIII, the great monastery was destroyed. Walking among the ruins and breathing the ancient atmosphere can temporarily take us away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Wonderful experience, very nice view and lovely weather in early Aug

I visited the British Columbia University 10 years ago and found it quite challenging. This time, I decided to opt for a guided tour, and the experience was immediately different. The guide was very knowledgeable, providing excellent depth and breadth in their explanations, and answered my questions very well.
