Bosnia and Herzegovina is a country on the Balkan Peninsula with Serbs, Croats and Bosnians as the main ethnic groups. Bosniaks follow Islam, Serbs follow Orthodox, and Croats follow Catholicism.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is fully visa-free for China, what kind of country is this?

The name Bosnia and Herzegovina, along with Serbia and Albania, is once again known to the Chinese, because Bosnia and Herzegovina has opened visa-free access to Chinese visas, and there is a country that can be said to be open to us. After all these years, what is there to go to in this country? I think this is a question that many people will ask, so let's decipher Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina is the well-known Sarajevo, and several of the more famous tourist cities include Mostar, Travnik, Jajce, Podgorica, and Kotor. Bosnia and Herzegovina's natural landscape is very fascinating, with semi-mountainous terrain that allows you to enjoy different scenery in different seasons. The locals of Bosnia and Herzegovina are simple and kind, and they are especially friendly to the Chinese. It feels a bit like the Chinese people in the 70s and 80s, simple and friendly.

The sub-ethnic group of the country is divided into two large regions, the Bosnians and the Croats. Although the capital of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is in Sarajevo, the Serbs have their own Republika Srpska, with the capital in Banja Luka.

Although Bosnia and Herzegovina is in Europe, it does not belong to the European Union, and if you enter the European Union from Croatia, if you come to Europe to travel with a single Schengen visa, entering Bosnia and Herzegovina, a single Schengen visa is considered invalid.

Bosnia and Herzegovina is mountainous, there are fewer train lines, but the road conditions are okay, but because of the mountainous area, the speed is slower, and the journey is longer, so it takes longer. There are several well-known tourist cities in the territory, such as Mostar, Sarajevo, etc. If you take the car, you will see very interesting scenery, lakes and mountains.

From a tourist point of view, Bosnia and Herzegovina is a good place to go for good and low prices, and it is said that a meal can be done for 3 dollars. Bosnia and Herzegovina's terrain is predominantly mountainous, with beautiful natural scenery and simple people, and famous tourist cities include Mostar (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) and, of course, the capital Sarajevo. Sarajevo's Latin Bridge is one of the places to visit, where Archduke Ferdinand and his wife were shot. It is worth mentioning that Sarajevo is a multicultural city, known as the "Jerusalem of the Balkans", where you can see Catholic churches, mosques, Orthodox churches and other religious buildings, among which the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is also a place where many tourists gather.

The economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina is still slowly recovering from the war, but it is still relatively poor, and agriculture, food processing and tourism are the pillar industries of the economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with agriculture, industry and services accounting for 8.2%, 26.2% and 65.6% of the national economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina respectively in 2012.

Only 51.1 per cent of the population of Bosnia and Herzegovina have attained secondary school education and 9.6 per cent have graduated from university. Illiteracy accounts for 2.82 per cent of the total population. Agriculture accounts for nearly one-third of the country's population, and the unemployed account for more than 24 per cent of the total.

Nowadays, as one of the poorest countries in Europe, it is even more difficult to revitalize the economy in the context of the general downturn in the development of the European Union.

For us Chinese tourists, Bosnia and Herzegovina is definitely a relatively unpopular travel destination.
