【坎特伯里】城市翦影－il Giardino Romantico

Canterbury had always been one of the must-visit places on my list. My curiosity of the place rose from Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales'. It was not until I arrived, did I realise that it is also home to Christopher Marlowe. When I found out that my dear friend lived in Canterbury, I knew that there was absolutely no reason why I should not visit the place. In this article, you will see glimpses of this adorable little city. This is a place in which the old merged with the new. More importantly, though, it is a place where the old outlives the new, unlike many other cities.

坎特伯里一直是我想來的地方。起因當然是因為Chaucer著作的'Canterbury Tales'。不過直到我來到這裡才發現原來他也是Christopher Marlowe（『浮士德』作家）的家鄉。又在我得知我多年好友居住於此，讓我更沒有理由不來拜訪一下。這篇所分享的圖片僅是一些零零碎碎捕捉到的鏡頭。與大家分享一下這可愛的小城市。有趣的是，他跟許多城市一樣，你可以看見古老文化以及新文化的交融。但不同於其他城市的是，這個地方似乎是古老文化的生命力比較強。

From the map, you can clearly see how the city walls remain an enclosure of its city centre.
