In the morning, we will set off to the picturesque Lake Balaton. With its attractive scenery, it has become an excellent holiday resort in Hungary. It is affectionately called "Hungarian Sea" by Hungarians and is the most popular tourist destination for Hungarians. After the tour, we will cross the border into Croatia and head to the capital Zagreb. This is a city with a tradition of resisting invaders. It must have been baptized by artillery fire, but the buildings are still well preserved. The ancient city is full of beautiful Gothic buildings, Mediterranean cuisine and local wines, as well as optimistic and enthusiastic Croatians, which will bring you an unforgettable travel experience. After arrival, visit the city's attractions: Zagreb Cathedral, Croatian National Theater, Kazakh Palace, Virgin Mary Memorial Column, etc.

In the morning, we will set off to the Plitvice Lakes National Park, which is known as the "Jiuzhaigou Valley of Europe". It consists of 16 lakes connected one by one along the mountain trail. In the dense mountains, countless layers of travertine barriers form natural embankments, connecting beautiful lakes like fairy tales. The water quality of the lakes presents a special color. The surface of the trees in the water has calcium formed into bronze substances, which are shiny, lovely and immortal, forming a rare underwater jade tree wonder. Surrounded by green grass, rushing streams and waterfalls, and clear lakes, it is like a fairyland on earth. Along the lake trail, accompanied by the sound of clear flowing water and waterfalls, the body and mind can fully feel the tranquil atmosphere far away from the hustle and bustle. After the tour, we will go to Zadar.

In the morning, we will visit Zadar, a city with a strong religious atmosphere. The old city still retains the narrow streets and buildings of the Middle Ages, making you feel like traveling through time and space and going back to the past. The modern buildings "Adria Sea Organ" and "Solar World Lights" that are popular with tourists have been added next to the pier. Then we will go to Split, the second largest city in Croatia. The whole city is full of the style of the ancient Roman Empire. The towering ancient Roman palace Diocletian's Palace was once a place of entertainment and leisure for the ancient Roman rulers.

In the morning, we will depart from Neum to Dubrovnik. Nobel Prize-winning writer Bernard Shaw once said, "Those who want to see the beauty of heaven should come to Dubrovnik." This is no exaggeration. Dubrovnik is indeed a place that makes people fall in love at first sight. It was once a wealthy city with the same reputation as Venice as a sea and land trade hub. It was baptized by artillery fire during the Yugoslav period. Later, it was rebuilt under the supervision of UNESCO and the European Union and developed into a popular tourist destination. Explore this Game of Thrones scene in person~ King's Landing, which is like a dream. Wander around the city's famous attractions: the old city area, the city wall, the defense tower, the Rector's Palace, and the Franciscan Monastery. You can also take a cable car up the mountain to overlook this pearl of the Adenia Sea and the beautiful scenery of the whole city. After the tour, return to Neum.

The highlight of today's trip is to cross the border into Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), which was one of the six socialist republics of the former Yugoslavia. In 1981, someone claimed to have seen the apparition of the Virgin Mary in Medjugorje. Although the Vatican has not confirmed whether it was the Virgin Mary, there is an endless stream of pilgrims going to Medjugorje. Today, Medjugorje has become an important pilgrimage site for Catholics and the third most visited site in Europe, with more than one million believers visiting each year. Then we will go to Blagaj, which is known as the "Hidden Mystery Land". The Tekija Monastery built on the cliff is amazingly beautiful with a clear stream. Then we will go to the ancient city of Mostar, which is full of historical traces. We will climb the ancient high arch bridge, a world cultural heritage with beautiful and magnificent shapes, and capture the picturesque scenery on both sides. After touring the poetic and picturesque ancient city, we will drive to Sarajevo.

In the morning, we will visit Sarajevo, which was reborn after the ashes. It was once an important gateway to the Eastern world in history. This city, which integrates different religions and cultures, has a completely different European style. Sarajevo was selected by Lonely Planet as one of the top ten cities in the world worth traveling. Its profound historical imprints, such as the "Latin Bridge" assassination that triggered the First World War and the "East-West Cultural Encounter Line" on the ground, are still preserved in the old city. The rebirth and transformation of Sarajevo are shown in the modern buildings of the new city. After the tour, we will cross the border back to Croatia and arrive in Vinkovci.
