Things to do in Mostar

Stari Most (also known as the Old Bridge of Mostar) is a 16th-century single-arch stone bridge in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, spanning the Neretva River. After standing for over 400 years, the bridge was destroyed on November 9, 1993, during the Bosnian War. After reconstruction, it reopened on July 23, 2004. In 2005, the bridge and surrounding area were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A must-see in Bosnia and Herzegovina! Encounter Ottoman history under Mostar's Old Bridge.

The Neretva River is a flowing emerald code in the Balkan Peninsula - it cuts through the chest of the karst landform, and uses the millennium turbulence to polish out the arc of the Mostar Old Bridge. On the riverbed, the stone foundation of the Ottoman Empire and the shells of the war years are sleeping. When divers jump into the cracks of time, the green water becomes a canvas, dyeing the 400-year-old bridge shadow, the mottled bullet-hole walls on both sides, and the silhouette of the monastery on the cliff into a dynamic historical scroll. The river water not only hides the ingenuity of geological movement, but also surges with the alternating pulse of war and peace. Every ripple tells us: nature and civilization have always coexisted in each other's reflection.

I took another in-depth tour of Mostar. There was no hustle and bustle, the air was fresh, the birds were singing, and the flowers were fragrant. Living in such a paradise on earth was like being in a fairyland. Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, is really worth exploring.
