🌿✨Peljesac Bridge
Pelješac Bridge – Where China Meets Croatia over Sapphire Water 🇨🇳🤝🏻🇭🇷🌊 Cruise south from Split along the sun-splashed Adriatic and—bam—a 2.4 km white ribbon appears, leap-frogging an international maritime jigsaw. Back-story in a bubble 🫧🤯 A 20 km slice of Bosnia-Herzegovina coastline (Neum) once chopped Croatia into two peninsulas. 🚗Croatians had to flash passports twice just to drive their own coast → traffic chaos for tiny Neum. EU funds + 2017 Croatia-BiH agreement = green light for a “unity bridge”. 🌵🌿 Enter China Road & Bridge Corporation 🇨🇳—steel, cable, and piers assembled like giant Lego over restless turquoise. July 2022 ribbon-cut ✂️—PM Plenković almost teared up: “A single nation, one continuous road!” Engineering flex Longest box-girder cable-stay in EU territory; 55 m clearance for mega-yachts 🛥️. Dual carriageway + bike/ped lane = road-tripper heaven 🚴♂️💕. Night lighting = soft moon-glow—drive across feels like gliding through a pearl necklace 🌕🌉. Photo hack Stop at panoramic pull-off 2 km north —telephoto compresses crimson cliffs, cobalt sea, and white pylons into one postcard frame 📸🌅. Roll down the windows, blast Croatian beats, and toast to friendship that literally bridges continents. 🍻🌏 #PeljesacBridge #SeeTheWorld #ChinaCroatiaFriendship
