空心大哥

Bridge of Sighs 剑桥的叹息桥在圣约翰学院内,是建于19世纪的水泥桥,与意大利威尼斯的叹息桥建制类似,但叹息的内容不同。这座廊桥连接学院新庭和老庭,只关师生,无关生死。

When punting on Jianhe river, you will pass many bridges. This bridge in Cambridge is named because it looks like the sighing bridge in Venice.

Info

In St. John's college, on the Jianhe river, built in 1831, it connects the old court and the new court of the college. It is said that when Queen Victoria visited the bridge, she was amazed at how beautiful it was! So chic! It is similar to a covered bridge, divided into upper, middle and lower three floors. The lower part is a half oval bridge opening, crossing the Jianhe river; the middle part is a passage, namely a corridor. Different from other long corridors, its pavement is not straight, but arched, and the pedestrian crossing bridge needs to go up and down. The two sides of the bridge are semi closed and symmetrical five pairs of glass windows of arch roof cement frame protected by steel bars, which are used for lighting; the upper layer is flat roof, similar to the bridge deck of general cement bridge, and the two sides of the top surface are evenly standing with symmetrical spire decoration. The appearance of the whole bridge is light yellow.

Sigh bridge is very famous. If you want to have a good visit, don't go to the bridge. You can take a picture on the nearby kitchen bridge, or you can take a boat under the bridge.

Different from Venice's sighing bridge. On that day, we took a boat and got on the bridge. There was no special feeling.

Sighing bridge is so famous that you can't walk to the bridge if you visit it. You can only stand on the nearby kitchen bridge and take photos, or you can go under the bridge by boat.
