Introduction
The River Cam is a small river surrounding the main city center of Cambridge, named after the English word "Cam", meaning "protuberance". The river flows around the main campus of the University of Cambridge, forming a large "T" shape. Chinese students who came to Cambridge in earlier years referred to it as "Jian River" because in the dialects of Fujian and Guangdong, the pronunciation of "Cam" is similar to "sword". The name "River Cam" is derived from the poem "The River" by Xu Zhimo. In fact, the River Cam and the River Granta are the same river, but locals are more accustomed to calling the upstream section the River Granta, where the banks are covered in greenery and the scenery is beautiful, and the downstream section is known as the College Backs, where the banks are lined with magnificent buildings of the University of Cambridge and the water flows smoothly. When renting a boat at the Queen's College dock, the boat owner will ask if you want to go to Granta or the College Backs. When you come to Cambridge, be sure to go boating on the River Cam, enjoy the beautiful scenery on both sides, and listen to the boatman's stories.
