#云游风物之旅 #
The strange and mysterious Croatia is listed as the "most worthwhile country" in National Geographic, "the world's most beautiful country" on Instagram, and "Europe's recommended travel destination" by "Lonely Planet". There are all over the World Heritage Sites, because the group is the most outstanding, and because of the "Game of Thrones" filming locations all over the world.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most fairy-tale and mysterious country in Europe.
This country is surrounded by the bright and gentle Adriatic Gulf of the Mediterranean. Every day I wake up and open my eyes, and I open the window to the pure emerald green water, stretching into the distance to the boundless blue.
This country is full of mythical castle towns, thousand-year-old alleys and stone walls, white walls and red tiles are the symbols of old Europe, and the medieval old city hides the only ancient Roman palace outside Italy...
If it weren't for the fact that the local people's favorite open-air cafes can be seen everywhere in the ancient alleys of Stone Street, only to remind tourists that there is indeed a lot of modern civilization here, you will really mistakenly think that what you see in front of you may be the original mysterious ancient Europe.
Such a Croatia is colorful but not known by many people. Such a country is worth going to once, slowly comprehending and solving puzzles and exploring.
