Must see! Romania Trip, a trip to the pearl of Eastern Europe to explore the hometown of vampires

Romania, a land located in southeastern Europe, is like a colorful painting, combining a long history, charming natural scenery and unique cultural customs. Embarking on this trip to Romania is like embarking on a dream adventure that travels through time, space and nature. Historical sites: a journey through time 1. Brown Castle: Birthplace of the Vampire Legend Bran Castle is located in the mountains of Transylvania. It looks like a building from a fairy tale, yet it is shrouded in the mysterious fog of vampire legends. The castle looks simple and solemn, and its gray-white stone walls appear particularly stern against the backdrop of green trees and green hills. Stepping into the castle, the dim corridors, narrow spiral staircases and ancient furniture seem to tell stories of the past. Every corner seems to hide the mysterious aura of Count Dracula, making people immersed in the legend full of fantasy and horror. Here, you seem to be able to see vampires wandering on the top of the castle under the moonlight, and feel the unique charm of the interweaving of history and legends. 2. Sighisoara: A Living Fossil of the Middle Ages Sighişoara can be called a living fossil of the Middle Ages, and the entire city has well preserved its medieval appearance. Ancient city walls, towers and colorful houses are scattered on the hills. Walking along the narrow cobblestone streets, it feels like going back in time. You can see the craftsmen working in the blacksmith shops and the aroma of fresh bread in the bakery. Among them, the bell tower is the city’s landmark building. Climbing up the bell tower, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of the entire city and feel the tranquility and heaviness of this ancient town. Sighişoara is also the birthplace of the famous vampire Count Dracula. Every stone here carries the memory of history, making people immersed in the mysterious atmosphere of the Middle Ages. Natural scenery: the most beautiful gift from nature 1. Carpathian Mountains: The beautiful backbone of Europe The Carpathian Mountains are like the backbone of Romania, stretching across this land and outlining a magnificent natural landscape. The mountains are rolling and the peaks are towering. The snow-covered mountain tops all year round shine silver under the sunlight. The mountains are covered with dense forests, lush and green, and are home to many rare animals and plants. Hiking the trails of the Carpathians, you can hear birds singing, see crystal clear streams rushing down between boulders, and breathe in the fresh, earthy air. Whether it is summer hiking or winter skiing, the Carpathian Mountains can satisfy your love for nature and desire to explore. 2. Danube Delta: A Fantasy World of Wetlands The Danube Delta is one of the largest wetlands in Europe, a magical world teeming with life. The crisscrossing rivers are like the veins of the earth, dividing the delta into countless small islands. The dense reeds sway in the wind, making rustling sounds, as if playing the music of nature. This is a paradise for birds. Every year, a large number of migratory birds come here to live and breed. You can see flocks of egrets and swans soaring in the sky or foraging on the shallows. Take a boat through the river, admire the ecological landscape of the wetland up close, and feel the tranquility and harmony of nature, as if you are in an isolated paradise. Cultural experience: a fascinating journey of unique traditions 1. Romanian folk art: an interweaving of colors and techniques Romanian folk art is rich and colorful, especially traditional embroidery, wood carving and pottery. In the local handicraft market, you can see embroidery products with bright colors and exquisite patterns. These embroideries are often based on the themes of Romania's natural elements and mythological stories. The stitches are delicate and full of strong ethnic customs. Woodcarvers use their carving knives to carve lifelike figures, animals and floral patterns on logs, demonstrating their superb skills. Ceramics works are equally unique. From simple pottery jars to exquisite porcelain plates, each piece embodies the Romanian people's love for life and inheritance of tradition. Buying some of these handicrafts is not only a collection, but also a way to bring Romanian culture home. 2. Romanian cuisine: Eastern European flavors on the tip of your tongue Romanian cuisine is a rich blend of Eastern European, Balkan and Mediterranean flavours. Barbecue is a common dish on Romanian tables. The tender and juicy roast pork and lamb paired with special spices are fragrant and mouth-watering. Traditional stews such as Ciorbă are made with vegetables, meat and cheese as the main ingredients. They are rich in taste and nutrition. For desserts, "Papanasi" is a must-try delicacy. It is a fried cheese donut topped with jam and fresh cream. It is sweet but not greasy, giving your taste buds the ultimate enjoyment. Tasting these delicacies in local restaurants or taverns, paired with a glass of local Romanian wine, will allow you to fully appreciate the unique charm of Eastern European cuisine. A trip to Romania is a journey that deeply blends history and nature, culture and food. Here, every landscape, every work of art, and every bite of food carries the unique charm of this country, waiting for you to explore, discover, and remember.
