Trinity College is one of the oldest universities in Ireland, founded in the 16th century. Its predecessor was an Augustinian monastery and was once managed by the Church. The college was originally a men's college, with the first female student being admitted in 1904. Trinity College has produced multiple Nobel laureates. The campus is located in the heart of Dublin, with beautiful and tranquil surroundings. On campus, you can see the magnificent Book of Kells, a meticulously crafted manuscript created around 850 AD by monks using natural pigments on vellum. The book is divided into four volumes, and two volumes are exhibited on campus—one with text and the other with illustrations. Only two pages are displayed each day. In addition, the architectural style of the Old Library is stunning and has been featured as the magical library in the Harry Potter movies. It is definitely worth exploring.

The rope bridge that connects the main island of Ireland and Carrick-A-Rede island is known as the third steepest in the world. Carrick-A-Rede, which means "fallen rock," is adjacent to the famous Giant's Causeway and crossing the rope bridge takes you over a 60 million-year-old volcanic fissure. This historic rope bridge was once a necessary tool for fishing, but is now a popular tourist attraction beloved by visitors from around the world. Only 8 people can cross at a time, and it takes around 20 minutes to walk from the entrance to the exit. The views along the way are also quite charming.
