Really an interesting clock that attracted a lot of visitors. We sat outside the Cambridge mansion in the nearby corner and were fortunate to watch the clock pass for a while. If you want to take a photo, you need to be patient because sometimes it is a bit crowded so people can block the sidewalk and the road. But still very worth the wait.

    The clock was a little unclear at night. However, standing in front of it and watching it ticking forward, the psychology is still a little inexplicable nervous. After all, time, no one can control.

    The Holy Body Clock is also a very interesting place in this city. The clock itself is also a very unique symbol. The whole area belongs to a region of the university town. There are quite a lot of domestic students visiting.

    The "Eucharist Clock" was conceived and designed by John Taylor and funded by millions of pounds. It was unveiled by physicist Stephen Hawking. This giant golden grasshopper is known as "Chronophage a time eater, designed to remind people that life is short. At the moment, walking around Cambridge for more than half a day, we feel that the time is extremely long, bored to see grasshoppers jaw open eyes flashing.

    At the corner of King's Street, Cambridge, the Golden Bell is designed with creativity. Insects open their mouths once a minute. It feels like they are constantly devouring time, warning people of the preciousness of time and not wasting their time.

    This is a strangely large golden clock, which sits in front of a window in the city center. At the top of the clock is a always big ladybird-like creature, with its legs a clock hand and mouth a second hand, and it looks like it is devouring a minute and a second, and if you look closer, it seems that your eyes are still shining.

    The Corpus Clock is situated on the downtown street of Cambridge, opposite King's College, on a metal and modern gold disc embedded in the walls of an ancient building with a black, chimpanzee-looking grasshopper-like monster (known as Chronophage - Time Devourer). The Eucharist Bell is open to visitors free of charge. According to the guide, the time devourer opens and closes his jaw once a minute, blinks his eyes, and raises the poisonous thorn every 15 minutes and sends out a deadly sting every hour. At this time, the holy body bell sounds like a chain beating on the coffin. Designers use grasshoppers to swallow time to remind people of the passage of time. It was unveiled by Hawking in 2008 and was listed as one of the best inventions in 2008 by Time Magazine. In the evening, when the LED lights above are on, the whole body clock is more modern. This is in sharp contrast to the old Cambridge Academy architecture, and highlights the profound connotation of the passage of time through this "sculpture".
