Here are a few things you must know before traveling to Serbia~ Must-visit destination: Zlatibor

Serbia, a country located in southeastern Europe, is a landlocked country on the Balkan Peninsula, bordering eight countries, four of which are former Yugoslav members. In recent years, Serbia's economy has grown rapidly, and it has gradually become one of the popular destinations for European travel. In 2015, it was rated by Lonely Planet as one of the 'top ten travel destinations worth visiting'. Serbia is one of the most intact places for natural ecological protection in Europe, with exceptionally rich natural scenery. Orchards, forests, grasslands, peaks, canyons, lakes, rivers, vineyards and vineyards are everywhere, with very little pollution and fresh air~ The Danube is the European river that flows through the most countries, and one-fifth of it is within Serbia. I went to four cities in total: Belgrade, Novi Sad, Subotica, Zlatibor~ Let's start with sharing about Zlatibor! The western border city of Zlatibor is located in the border area of Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina~ Serbia has 5 national parks, more than 30 natural parks and special nature reserves, and the Tara National Park located in the state of Zlatibor is a very distinctive one. The Tara Mountain and the Drina River intertwine~ There are wooden chalets for accommodation at the foot of the mountain, and the scenery along the way for hiking is breathtaking. The small wooden house that has stood on the rocks of the Drina River for nearly half a century has been constantly exploding on various social media in the past two years~ The real thing is indeed dreamy~ The rich resources of the Zlatibor mountain area can let people experience the real outdoor adventure fun. Summer hiking, boating, mountain climbing and winter skiing are all popular projects here. Kopaonik Mountain is a famous skiing resort in Eastern Europe~ Although it is sunny for more than 200 days a year, it is magical that it is snowy from November to May every year. Even if its reputation may not be comparable to Switzerland, France and other European skiing resorts, the 44-kilometer ski slope and 20-kilometer ski cable car here make many traditional skiing resorts pale in comparison~ In addition, the Wooden Village located in the Zlatibor mountain area was built by a famous Serbian director for the filming of the movie 'Life is a Miracle'~ All buildings from the ground to the house are made of wood and decorated with colorful oil paintings~ Today's Wooden Village has also become a famous resort, not only with museums and galleries, sports halls and restaurants and cafes, but also a cinema that can accommodate 100 people. You can also take a small train to tour the Zlatibor mountain area in the Wooden Village. As one of the few narrow-gauge railways in the world, the train itself is a museum. The four carriages have completely different styles and layouts, which are very worth experiencing~ The entire operation line takes two and a half hours to cross 10 bridges and 22 tunnels, taking in the beautiful and quiet mountain scenery... Other places I recommend not to miss when coming to Serbia: The capital of Serbia, Belgrade~ This is one of the oldest cities in Europe. Because it is located at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers, it is known as the 'crossroads of the eastern and western worlds'. When you come to Belgrade, you must go to the most famous commercial street in the city, Mihailo Grand Duke Street. The representative buildings of the 19th century European style stand on both sides of the street~ Walking along this street to the end is the Kalemegdan ancient castle located at the confluence of the Sava River and the Danube River. It is the best witness to the history of Belgrade city and a landmark scenic spot and leisure place in Belgrade. Although this castle has undergone many renovations and expansions, the architectural styles of ancient Rome and the Austro-Hungarian Empire can still be seen today. Most of the existing ruins were mainly built during the Turkish rule. A park has now been built around the Kalemegdan Castle, which overlooks the Danube and the former battlefield. Belgrade also has the largest Orthodox church in the world, one of the top ten churches in the world, the Church of St. Sava~ In addition, the Zemun town on the outskirts of Belgrade is a good place for locals to relax~ There are many good restaurants along the Danube in the town~ Climbing to the top of the Millennium Tower in the town can overlook the entire town's Central European-style red-roofed buildings, and looking along the Danube, you can also see the cityscape of Belgrade. The northern Serbian city of Novi Sad holds a four-day EXIT music festival every July, attracting nearly 300,000 tourists from all over the world~ Historically, it was the cultural center of Serbia, known as the 'Athens of Serbia'. Having afternoon tea on the castle of Petrovaradin Fortress, overlooking the quietly flowing Danube; eating Brunch in Freedom Square, drinking a few glasses of champagne, enjoying the warm sun in the spring afternoon can be slightly drunk~ The brightly colored buildings with European retro luxury horse-drawn carriages passing by make people confused, as if they have traveled to the prosperous place of Europe hundreds of years ago... It only takes one hour from Belgrade to Novi Sad by bus, and there is a bus every 20 minutes, which can be returned on the same day. The northern border city of Serbia, Subotica, is full of local art buildings with Hungarian colors. This is a city with rich colors of art, and it is also a city of multi-ethnic integration: 25 ethnic groups, 6 languages. Due to its proximity to the Hungarian border, it is popular to decorate local buildings with Hungary's famous Zsolnay ceramics. Subotica also has a museum that carries the treasures of new art. The famous local resort, Lake Palic, is a fairy tale world for me. In the fairy tale world, there is also a quite large zoo, which makes the fairy tale world more vivid~ In addition, if you like wine, you can also go to Serbia's famous ZVONKO BOGDAN winery and vineyard, which is also near Lake Palic.
