Balkan Tour (19) Bosnia and Herzegovina's Capital - Sarajevo.

Travel Together Season 8 - Balkan Tour (19) Bosnia and Herzegovina's Capital - Sarajevo Belgrade, Serbia - Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina July 7, 2019, sunny, 22–33°C 08:00 Depart from Serbia and drive to Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. 10:30 Arrive at the border between Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, 10:50 Enter the country. Bosnia and Herzegovina is the seventh country on this trip. The full name of the country is the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which was also a republic of the former Yugoslavia and declared independence in 1992. Bosnia and Herzegovina is one of the poorer regions in Europe, and after independence, a civil war broke out (the Bosnian War), which severely damaged the economy. The economy has been gradually recovering since 2016. 14:40 Arrive in Sarajevo. Sarajevo is the capital and economic and cultural center of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is located in the central part of the country, near the upper reaches of the Bosna River, a tributary of the Sava River, surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery. There are two main political events in the history of Sarajevo: On June 28, 1914, the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was assassinated here by a Serbian patriot, which became the trigger for World War I; in March 1992, a three-year civil war broke out in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the longest urban offensive and defensive battle in modern warfare history took place around Sarajevo. Visit the old town of Sarajevo. The city was founded during the Ottoman rule and has a history of more than 700 years (Figure 1 Latin Bridge, Figure 2 Inn Ruins). The commercial street is unique, with old streets paved with stones, and the buildings on both sides show the customs of the Bosnian people and the style of Turkey. Rows of handicraft shops are scattered (Figure 3), interspersed with cafes, barbecue restaurants, mosques, Catholic churches (Figure 4), and Orthodox churches (Figure 5). When I arrived in Sarajevo, I remembered an old anti-war movie "Walter Defends Sarajevo." The film was translated and released in China by Beijing Film Studio in 1973, and our generation has watched it and was impressed. Today, I saw the mosque and clock tower (Figures 6 and 7) where the film was shot. The watch shop has been converted into a film museum, but I couldn't visit it because it was closed. There is also a stone-carved chessboard (Figure 8) and a flock of pigeons (Figure 9) begging for food from tourists in the square by the street. The Internet is very developed in China, and people cannot live without it. On this trip, we didn't rent "Roaming Man" anymore and tried to use Huawei "SkyTone." Overall, it was good, but Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina were not covered, so there was no Internet on the road, and we could only use other people's and hotel networks. Stay overnight at Hotel Espana.

There are many bridges along the river in Sarajevo, and the most famous is the Latin Bridge. On June 28, 1914, the Austrian-Hungarian Crown Prince Ferdinand and his wife visited the Sarajevo City Hall and took a convertible through the Latin Bridge. When they slowed down, they were mixed in a cheering crowd. The Bosnian youth called Gafferri Principe rushed out of the crowd and shot the Dagong couple, becoming the fuse of the outbreak of the First World War. The City Hall next to the Latin Bridge, the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince Ferdinand is here from the grand hall. It is one of the most representative buildings of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in Sarajevo, located in three main streets. Crossroads. However, it was later destroyed in the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina and then rebuilt.
