Tourism in Montenegro and China

Famous tourist attractions include Dumito National Park, Coto Old Town and Sobochani Monastery, which are listed as world natural and cultural heritage by UNESCO. Other famous scenic spots include Tara Valley, St. Tripna Catholic Church (completed before Notre Dame de Paris 179), Ostrog Cathedral, St. Stefan Island, and the Old Town of Budva.

Tara Valley Bridge: The Tara River Canyon Bridge is located in the northern part of Montenegro and spans the deepest canyon in Europe-the Tara River Grand Canyon. It is a reinforced concrete highway bridge with a total length of 366 meters. It was first built in 1940. China audiences are familiar with the location of the film bridge in the former Yugoslavia.

The following is the plot of Bridge: 1944 At the end of World War II, the Germans planned to retreat from Greece to their own country via Yugoslavia. In order to retreat smoothly, they tried their best to keep a bridge that they had to pass on the way. At the same time, a small group of Yugoslav guerrillas were ordered to blow up this high and dangerous bridge, and the task was extremely arduous. If we can blow up the bridge, we can block the German retreat, which is more conducive to counterattack. In order to blow up the bridge, the guerrillas found the bridge designer. After a series of careful arrangements and soul-stirring struggles, the engineer finally blew up the bridge he designed and built.

Tara Valley: Tara Valley is located in the middle of Montenegro, 82km away from Tara River. The canyon is 82km long, the longest in Montenegro and the deepest in Europe, with a depth of1300m. The Tara River runs through here. The canyon is surrounded by dense pine forests and deep and clear lakes. Tara Canyon has become a famous tourist attraction because of its natural beauty. Fishing trout by the stream and drifting in the white and clear stream are all popular projects for tourists. Facing the vast canyon, human beings seem so small, just like a crawling ant. Because the Tara River passes through the canyon, the perfect combination of the canyon and the river makes it possible to go boating in the Tara Canyon. How carefree it is to float a canoe on the water. The canyon section where boating is possible 1 1 meter long takes two or three hours. Rowing is also a way to see Tara Canyon. Looking up at the canyon at an altitude of 1300 meters in the boat, you should never see the top! I believe that in this short 3 hours, tourists will fully feel the spectacular canyon, the excitement and fun of boating.

St Tripna Catholic Church: Although most people in Cotor believe in the Orthodox Church, the most important church is this Catholic Church. According to legend, in 809 AD, Venetian merchants brought back the remains of Tripna, a Christian saint in the 3rd century, from present-day Turkey, but they were caught in a storm in Koto Bay, so they built a temporary shelter for him in Koto. However, every time the Turks leave the area, the weather gets worse, so St. Tripna was placed in Kotto and has since become the patron saint here. Saint Tripp is a saint in the Christian world. As the patron saint of Cotor, both Orthodox Church and Catholicism are revered by them.

Coto Old Town: Coto is one of the most well-preserved cities in the Adriatic Sea and has been listed in the UNESCO World Heritage List. At the same time, there are many places of interest in Coto, such as St. triffin Cathedral built in 1 166 in the old city, and the ancient city wall extending 4.5 kilometers in the city. St George's Island, Gospa Island and Colpied La Island near Perast Bay are also the most famous tourist attractions near Cotor.

Ostrog Church: Ostrog Church was built in17th century, and it is a holy place of Orthodox Church. The church consists of two buildings at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside. The part of the church on the mountainside is naturally integrated with the mountain, which looks like a mural embedded in a cliff from a distance. Known as the church in the cave, it retains a large number of exquisite murals, as well as the sacred body and relics of St. Ostrog for the world to visit. Orthodox Christians from Serbia, Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia came here to worship. Many people sleep on the floor every day. It can be seen that Ostrog is a holy place for Orthodox Christians. 1852- 1853 Turkey tried to destroy the church when it invaded, but it failed because of the steep terrain.

Budva Old Town: Budva is the pillar of tourism in Montenegro. In the summer of 2007, the city received more than 330,000 tourists. So far, Budva is the most popular tourist destination in Montenegro. The beach length of Budwa coast is 1 1, 3 10/0m. Coupled with the city's huge cultural heritage, beautiful architecture and exciting nightlife, Budva has become the most attractive tourist destination in Montenegro. Due to the rich nightlife, Budwa is deeply loved by young people. They entered the outdoor club, lined up on the sidewalk of the street, and reveled until 1 am. Many young people even party all night. The drinks and food in Budva Bar are the most expensive in this area. The 500-meter-long path extending from the old city, close to several big cliffs, can directly reach the most famous Mogren Beach in Budva. Other beaches in the city include "Richard's Head", Pi Zha and Slavic Beach. Many other beaches are located in towns near Budva, such as Becchi, Yaz, Milochel and Cameno Vaud. There are not many historical and cultural landscapes outside the old town of Budwa. On the contrary, most areas of the city are covered by Mediterranean-style buildings or private two-story buildings in the new period.
