I think College Green is named because it's close to the University of Bristol. But it's not that close to the main campus of the University. Instead, it is just next to the Bristol Cathedral. It is a large open space covered with grass. At the western end of the College Green is believed to be the Bristol municipal building.  On a sunny afternoon, there are a few people sitting on this green carpet. They are either reading or just walking their dogs. Some may form a circle and have their private camp-fire like gatherings. With the warm sunlight and soft grass, it is very hard to resist lying on the grass and feel the mild breeze. Better than this, of course, is to read something. It would be much easier to get yourself connected with the literary giants.

There is also an old but lovely building next to the Cathedral - the Marriott Hotel. The outlook of the Marriott is similar to the Peninsula in HK. The Queen's statue stands outside the hotel. This statue is made of granitic rock. When you take a closer look, the statue's head has become greenish. And that indicates the difference between the Chinese and the British. The Chinese cannot tolerate a taint on Mao's picture. The British don't give a shit about the dirt on the statue. The birds, however, do.

The Park Street demarcates the northern boundary of the College Green and it is one of the busiest street in Bristol. When you walk up the street, you will find the main building of the University of Bristol. When you look at the second last picture, you may see that the tower on the left is polished while the rest of the building remains dull. Thanks be to the subscriptions from the overseas students!
