Every year，in late March or early April，a boat race takes place on the Thames River，England．This boat race is an event between the two most famous and also the oldest universities in Britain﹣the Oxford（牛津大学）and the Cambridge（剑桥大学）．
The idea for the boat race between the universities came from two friends﹣Charles Merivale，a student at Cambridge，and his friend Charles Wordsworth who was at Oxford．They decided to set up a boat race between the two universities．On March 12，1829，Cambridge sent a challenge to Oxford first．
When the first boat race took place in a small town by Thames，eight students from each university became the competitors．Crowds of twenty thousand traveled to watch．It was so exciting．And the Oxford was clear winners．Later on，not only did the students from the two universities take part，but also some social groups attended the event．By 1845，with the small town becoming too crowded，the boat race had moved six miles up to the village﹣Putney．From 1856 on，the race has been held every year except war years．This boat race is considered to be"the world's oldest sporting challenge"．
The race is four and a quarter miles in just 20 minutes and the competitors often face difficulties．It usually takes six months for the two teams to prepare for the big days．In the past，the Oxford was mostly the winners．But things have changed from 1993 on．The Cambridge has won more．

For Schultz，a 77﹣year﹣old man，this is a chance of a lifetime．Schultz is part of a group of around 50 Germans who are on a bus journey along the ancient Silk Road．
Speaking of his journey，he says："I have been deeply interested in the Silk Road since I was a child，but now I finally have a chance to experience it．"
The two﹣month bus journey will take the group through Germany，Russia，and other 4 European countries．They will then enter China from the country's western part．It will be an unforgettable memory for them．
Nearly half of the 13，000﹣kilometer trip will be inside China．From Xinjiang in the west to Shanghai in the east，the German visitors will see more than 20 Chinese cities．"We have managed the trip of the Silk Road for around 10 years．An increasing number of people，not only from German﹣speaking countries，have been joining us，"says Liu Guoqiang from China Tours．
Almost 26 million foreigners traveled to China in 2015，and about 5 million of them were from Europe．Beijing，Xi'an，Shanghai and the Changjiang River are traditional Chinese travel destinationsfor European tourists．Speaking of where he wants to go，Schultz says，"Compared with modern cities，the culture in western China attracts（吸引）me more．
As Shi Xiang，head of the China Tours，says，"Being a new brand to attract foreign visitors，the Silk Road is good for people to know more about China，especially the northwestern part of the country．"
