    Located in Zagreb, it has a low-profile appearance, but it is well-known all over the world. The exhibition hall is exquisite and clean. The tokens are fragmented, not surprising in appearance, and the buckwheat ends up in the exhibition hall. It is also a voluntary donation from lovelorn people all over the world. Even after breaking up, the old love has been deeply impressed, donated tokens, saved old love, no longer in the twilight and twilight, thus "forgetting each other in the river and lake" can be said to be "one is different, two are happy". Therefore, it is sad, but also unforgettable.

    Croatia is not a big country, but it has a very good geographical location, rich resources and beautiful natural scenery. We were deeply impressed by our trip to Croatia and would go there again if we have the chance.

    Walking in the city of Zagreb, you will feel like Belgrade, Helsinki, Paris and London. The most eye-catching street is the stone paving. If you think about it carefully, the paving in China is done by laying tiles flat on the ground. This kind of paving bricks cannot withstand pressure very well, and it is easy to see the tiles on the street smashed. The street surfaces in Europe, including the street surface in front of the Dasan Archway in Macau, are the same as those in Europe. What is the difference? The streets in Europe are all stone standing up and inlaid on the ground. For comparison, our tiles are laid upright. Such a ground is hard, resistant to pressure, and not easy to break, but the materials used are more and the investment is large, but it can be used for a long time. It is estimated that the cost of this kind of paving is three to four times that of our ground. So in Europe, the street surfaces we see in our photos are all neat stone pavements, and the checkered ground is the most eye-catching mark.
