Salisbury Cathedral (索尔兹伯里大教堂)
The beautiful and historic Salisbury Cathedral is an international symbol of Christianity (基督教) and a world-class heritage attraction. The spire is the tallest in England, 123 meters (404 feet). Once inside you'll be impressed by the Cathedral's graceful and elegant proportions. We visit The Chapter House home to
one of only 4 surviving copies of the Magna Carta (大 * * ) and see the oldest working clock in Europe, dating back to 1386.
Mysterious Stonehenge
5,000 years ago the huge 40 tone stones were dragged from over 280 miles away in Wales. Who built it and why does it remain mysteries today? Some say that it was built as a religious temple, or an
astronomical clock. Stonehenge continues to attract the imagination and hold the heart of every visitor.
Bath
This beautiful Georgian city, most famous for its baths fed by three hot springs, is a World Heritage
Site (世界遗址地). With its stunning Georgian architectures, on our panoramic tour of the city we will
show you the Royal Crescent, Pulteney Bridge and then into the Roman Baths built over 2,000 years ago
and still in perfect working order.
