Highly recommended."

"Walk to the city hall located below the high street. Walking into the open city hall building, on the small front hall wall, I saw the coat of arms representing the city of Oxford, a very ordinary buffalo. Oxford’s name is said to come from this, and it vividly tells people that Oxford was originally the history of the “land of cattle wading” formed by herders driving cattle and wading. The office area upstairs in the city hall is not open to the public, visitors can only look at the scenery upstairs from the stairs. The open area on the first floor of the City Hall is only a museum and a cafe. The museum covers a small area, but it has a big name and is called the Oxford Museum. The pictures, texts, and actual photos show the history of the development of Oxford city. In a limited corner, there is also a scene of government staff working. At the end of the 15-minute tour of the city hall indoors, the main reason is that the text is unclear and many things are not understood."
