Unmissable Eastern European garden - Serbia.

Serbia has beautiful scenery, dense river networks, and diverse landforms. The north is an agricultural cultivation base; the central region is a fruit planting area; gradually to the south, it becomes a mountainous and canyon area, with many caves and protected virgin forests. The Danube River flows through the country, and the history of many foreign invasions and rule has left a rich cultural heritage, including prehistoric archaeological sites, ancient Roman cultural sites, and a large number of medieval churches and monasteries, nurturing such a beautiful and low-key secret garden country in Eastern Europe. From Belgrade to Nis, its cities have unique characteristics. Belgrade: one of the top ten nightlife cities in the world; Subotica: a small town full of Hungarian style; Novi Sad: the "Athens" city with abundant knowledge; Nis: the city of slaughter and resistance in the past. Climb up the Kalemegdan Fortress, draped in the glow of the setting sun, and imagine the changes of time. Later, as the sun sets in the west, the gentle and charming Danube River and the bright moonlight will cover you with a cool night. The St. Sava Church is the largest Eastern Orthodox church on the surface of the earth, built in memory of St. Sava, the founder of the Serbian Orthodox Church and an important figure in medieval Serbia. The church is magnificent and solemn, with religious stories in the murals wrapped in brilliant colors, fascinating people.

2023 Serbia Trip - Zemon

Zemun is on the south bank of the Danube River. You can take a bus from Belgrade, just search on Google. It takes over 40 minutes to walk from the Moscow Hotel where I stay. I went to the monument of the Chinese Embassy in former Yugoslavia early in the morning. The former embassy has now been converted into the China Cultural Center. It was built by Shandong Expressway Investment and is now mainly a hotel with staff responsible for cultural exchanges sent by the Shandong Provincial Government. During this year's Spring Festival, they organized a team, including lion dance, snacks, handicrafts, and traditional handicraft demonstrations, to tour Serbia like a temple fair. I flew with them on the same plane, and we met in Belgrade and Novi Sad, which was very lively. Zemeng is a small mountain town, it's better when the weather gets warmer~ It's a bit like a mini version of Zadar. In the highest point of the town, there is a café where you can sit inside, keep warm, and enjoy the view.

Zemun Cemetary!

I was googling on what to do in Zemun and came across a blog saying that someone actually spend 1 to 2 hours of their time in a Cemetary. Who goes to a cemetary as a tourist attraction?!!? What!?!? After visiting the cemetary, I finally understood why people come here besides paying respects to the dead. It is the coolest cemetary I have ever seen. What is so special: 1) Normally cemetary are religious based i.e. muslim cemetaries, christian cemetary etc. But this one is multi-religious, with different parts dedicating to different religion which is really cool! 2) The tomb stones are super cool and varied, there are sculptures like a boxer, angels and all kinds of styles of tombstones.

A few things to know before traveling to Serbia ~ Especially don't miss the swans in Zemun town

Serbia, a country located in southeastern Europe, is a landlocked country on the Balkan Peninsula, bordering 8 countries, 4 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 as "one of the top ten travel destinations worth traveling" by Lonely Planet. Serbia is one of the most complete places for natural ecological protection in Europe, with exceptionally rich natural scenery, orchards, forests, grasslands, peaks, canyons, lakes, rivers, vineyards and vineyards 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's borders. I went to four cities in total: Belgrade, Novi Sad, Subotica, Zlatibor ~ Let's share Belgrade first The capital of Serbia, Belgrade ~ This is one of the oldest cities in Europe, located at the confluence of the Danube and Sava rivers, it is known as the "crossroads of the eastern and western worlds". The St. Sava Church is located on a hill in the eastern part of the old city of Belgrade. It is the largest Orthodox church in the world. The last time I came, the exterior construction was completed ~ The interior is still being decorated, and this time I finally saw the golden interior of the church. It's absolutely beautiful! The high and majestic dome interior walls and surroundings are golden giant mosaic murals, with a total area of over 15,000 square meters, ranking among the world's largest mosaics. When you come to Belgrade, you must go to the city's most famous commercial street, Mihailo Grand Duke Street, to stroll around. 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 and Danube rivers. It is the best witness to the history of Belgrade city and a landmark scenic spot and leisure place in Belgrade. Although the castle has been repaired and expanded many times, the architectural style of ancient Rome and the Austro-Hungarian Empire can still be seen, Most of the existing ruins of the Kalemegdan Castle were mainly built during the Turkish rule ~ Now a park has been built around it, overlooking the Danube and the former battlefield ~ The entire castle is built of huge stones, and the architectural style of ancient Rome and the Austro-Hungarian Empire can still be seen ~ Walking to the northwest end of the castle, sitting on the high city wall of the Belgrade Fortress, you can see the Sava and Danube rivers converge. Walking back from the Belgrade Fortress, after seven years, the Moskava Hotel is very suitable for drinking hot red wine in winter! It used to be called the Moscow Grand Hotel ~ It is a long-established hotel in Belgrade, with a strong Vienna Art Nouveau style. Once ~ The whole of Yugoslavia regarded going to the Moscow Grand Hotel for coffee as a grand and beautiful thing in life! In addition, Zemun in the suburbs of Belgrade is a good place for locals to relax ~ There are many good restaurants along the Danube in the small town ~ Climbing to the top of the highest point of the small town, the Millennium Tower, you can overlook the entire small town's Central European style red roof buildings, looking far along the Danube, you can also see the cityscape of Belgrade. In Belgrade ~ Weekends always come to Zemun town for a stroll ~ Look at the swans on the Danube, especially after the snow is more beautiful! Zemun was once a border town between Austria and the Ottoman Empire, so it blends Austrian and Ottoman exotic styles ~ The locals in Belgrade love to come here for leisure and vacation. Coming here is like traveling through several centuries in the past ~ You can experience and feel the quiet time of the old times. Other places I recommend not to miss when coming to Serbia: The northern city of Serbia, Novi Sad·South Backa State, 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", drinking afternoon tea on the castle of Petrovaradin Fortress, overlooking the quiet flow of the 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 kicking past, people are confused, as if they have traveled to the prosperous place of Europe hundreds of years ago...... It only takes one hour to take a bus from Belgrade to Novi Sad, with a bus every 20 minutes, which can be returned on the same day. The northern border city of Serbia, Subotica·North Backa State, is full of local art buildings with Hungarian colors. This is a colorful art city, 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 Palic Lake is a fairy tale world for me, and there is a quite large zoo in the fairy tale world, 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 Palic Lake. The western border city, Zlatibor·Municipality of Cajetina 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 Zlatibor State is a very distinctive one, Tara Mountain and Drina River are intertwined ~ There are wooden villas for accommodation under the mountain, the scenery along the way of hiking is beautiful, the small wooden house standing on the rocks of the Drina River for nearly half a century, these two years have been constantly exploding hermit thoughts on various social media ~ The real thing is indeed dreamy ~ The rich resources of the Zlatibor mountain area can allow people to experience the real outdoor adventure fun. Summer hiking, boating, climbing and winter skiing are all popular projects here. Kopaonik Mountain is a famous ski resort in Eastern Europe ~ Although it is bathed in sunshine for more than 200 days a year, the magic is that every November to May of the following year is snowy, even if its reputation may not be as good as Switzerland, France and other European ski resorts, but its 44 kilometers of ski slopes and 20 kilometers of ski cable cars make many traditional ski resorts pale in comparison ~ In addition, the Wood Village located in the Zlatibor mountain area is a famous Serbian director built for the filming of the movie "Life is a Miracle" ~ All buildings from the ground to the house are built of wood and decorated with colorful oil paintings ~ Now the Wood Village has also become a famous resort, not only with museums and galleries, stadiums and restaurants and cafes, but also with a cinema that can accommodate 100 people. You can also take a small train to tour the Zlatibor mountain area in the Wood 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 in total, taking in the beautiful and quiet mountain scenery......

This is the largest Orthodox church in Serbia and it ranks among the largest churches in the world.

The church is dedicated to St. Sava, a prince in the history of Serbia, the founder and first archbishop of the Serbian Orthodox Church, the founder of Serbian law and literature, and the patron saint of Serbian schools and students. The church is located in the Frachal Heights in the city of Belgrade, where the Ottoman Prime Minister Sinan Pasha burned his body in 1595, after which the Serbs held a large statue with the image of Sava. The flag started the war against the Ottoman Turkish Empire. 300 years later, in 1895, the Kingdom of Serbia decided to establish the Church of St. Sava in the place where the remains of St. Sava was burned. It dominated the city of Belgrade, perhaps the most magnificent building in the city. However, due to financial problems and wars, the cathedral has not been completed yet, and the funds for building the church are entirely from the donations of believers. Out of the church, there is a bronze statue with a hand on the cross and a hand on the door. That is Saint Sava. This church is now a landmark in Belgrade, both inside and outside. It is breathtaking. It is said that the surface area of the first floor of the Cathedral Light is 3,500 square meters, there are three 1,500 square meters of galleries on the second floor, and a 120 square meter gallery on the third floor. The church can accommodate up to 10,000 followers, and its choir seats can accommodate 800 singers. The altar area of the church is more than the entire Belgrade area except for it! Outside the church, there are a lot of people chatting and walking nearby, and I saw a lot of children rolling around here, very lively, and foreign photographers have a tripod shooting time on the square. The deep blue sky at night makes it even more mysterious. In addition to the St. Sava church next to the St. Sava church, you can visit ~ : hramsvetogsave.rs Address: Krusedolska 2a

Serbian niche punching ground, beautiful old street in Skadalia h In the lively Mikhaino Dagong Street, there is a quiet old street - Kasdalia pedestrian street, away from the Republic Not far from the square, this bohemian street completely preserves the look of the second half of the 19th century. I have to say that Europeans like flowers very much, and here is no exception. The flowers and plants everywhere on the street, with sunlight and stone roads, are extraordinarily gentle. Walking along the famous cobblestone streets, both of which are traditional Serbian restaurants. Each restaurant is decorated like a flower shop and is a quiet and full of color streets. Every restaurant in Skardalia Pedestrian Street has local traditional band performances to attract customers. If you feel that the performance is good, give them meaning, you can join them. Performance. Three of the hats (Tri e ir) and two deer (Dva Jelena) have been around for centuries, and they are on the undulating, cobblestone pavements, giving people a sense of time. In addition to the most common creatures in Beicheng, the pigeons are the first pigeons that are visible, and they are not afraid of people. Usually they walked past them and they ignored them. Why should they do it, they are lazy and give me the feeling that they are too lazy to fly hahaha. Sunshine is sprinkled on the road, and the pigeons in twos and threes are accompanied by sporadic passers-by, and the years are quiet and uncontested. Sunshine is the best filter, just take a shot, it looks good~

recording the sounds of this beautiful lively street

If the Skadalia Pedestrian Street is the most lively soul zone in Belgrade, then on a rainy day, this place will become another landscape. The whole street is no longer filled by pedestrians. The rainy days make it show the most pristine parts, clean stairs, yellow leaves scattered in the pool, passers-by passers-by, bars on both sides of the street Half-covered, the people in the coffee shop looked at the streets after the rain, and the hot bread scent in the bakery, showing the cold and interesting part of Serbia in every moment.
