Israel, which means "one who wrestles with God" in Hebrew, is named after the Bible: Jacob, the ancestor of the Jews, wrestled with an angel and won, and God renamed Jacob Israel. Israel, history and war have made her feel different about the world. I have long wanted to set foot on this land. The place where God walked, the mysterious religious culture and the war-torn history made my heart restless.
In most people's impression, Israel is a war-torn country, and the perennial war has cast a thick shadow over her original mystery. It can be said that Israel is mostly associated with the Bible. In the kingdom of Israel, you will constantly follow the footsteps of God and think about the past, present or future.
Jerusalem prayed hopefully.
Jerusalem prayed hopefully.
If you haven't been to Jerusalem, you won't know what is truly sacred. Being in the whole city is like traveling through time and space. I have an illusion that she has been so peaceful since creation and has never been hurt. As pure as the blue sky overhead. This is the only place in the world that is recognized as the origin of religion by Judaism, Islam and Christianity. For thousands of years, devout people have never stopped their pilgrimage to Jerusalem, hoping to be blessed by the gods here and reap future happiness.
Even if you are not a religious believer, you might as well go to wailing wall in Judaism to review your life, go back to the most beautiful church to listen to the chanting there, or feel the footsteps of Jesus preaching the gospel. At this time, the impetuous heart will be completely quiet.
Wailing wall, the holy city of love and injury.
Wailing wall, the holy city of love and injury.
Wailing wall is a must for every Israeli tourist. There is also a story here: In the past, King Solomon built a magnificent temple in Jerusalem, but it was destroyed when the Babylonians invaded. The second temple, which was rebuilt later, was not preserved and was destroyed again when the Romans captured Jerusalem. The western wall on the west side of the temple is the only part of the palace that has survived to this day.
Later, Jews often gathered here to read scriptures and mourn the ill-fated nation, hence the name "wailing wall". Most visitors who pray here will put a small note in wailing wall to write down their wishes and blessings, hoping that the sacredness here will protect them.
The Dead Sea, the lowest place on earth.
The Dead Sea, the lowest place on earth.
The Dead Sea is not far from Jerusalem, and it takes about an hour and a half by car. As the altitude drops, many people will feel some pressure on the eardrum. At sunset, the surface of the Dead Sea gives off a suffocating golden glow. When you are floating in the Dead Sea, the horizon appears magnificent pink. When you come to the Dead Sea, floating is a must. Anyone can easily float on the surface of the Dead Sea, which is the most exciting and exciting thing for those who can't swim.
Thousands of years ago, people discovered the therapeutic function of the Dead Sea and nearby mineral springs. The special natural environment and the sunshine filtered by ions make you exercise and beautify at the lowest point of the earth, giving you a fairy-like journey enjoyment. Therefore, it has become one of the "most natural nursing homes on earth".
Tel Aviv-Jaffa doesn't understand the darkness at night during the day.
Tel Aviv-Jaffa doesn't understand the darkness at night during the day.
Jaffa in the old city is a romantic and beautiful seaside town with modern flavor and artistic characteristics. The bright sunshine dyed the buildings in the old city golden yellow, and the alleys were long and curved. When the sun is in the sky, you can feel the pause of time, lengthen your memory, and let you remember the smell of sunshine there long after your trip.
It depends on the performance of Tel Aviv in the evening. From fast food to elegant European cafes, bars, nightclubs and piano rooms will be open until late at night, and the dance and Sao market here is a good place to enjoy nightlife. What can't be missed is that hundreds of meters by the sea are amusement places with different themes, and the pavilions are connected into undulating waves, echoing the waves. The working day in Israel usually starts on Sunday and ends on Thursday, so generally speaking, Thursday night will be the busiest day in Tel Aviv-Jaffa. You can stroll along Rothschild Street and enjoy the performances of street artists, and some small streets nearby also exude the amorous feelings of the 1930s.
Galilee, stepping into an idyllic utopia
Galilee, stepping into an idyllic utopia
This is a scenic spot for sensual enjoyment, deep forest canyon and brook waterfall. In the early morning, when the sun was about to come out, the lake Galilee suddenly flashed with gold and colorful colors, and the reflection of the mountain was faintly visible in the water. As the sun sets, the lake is full of sunset glow, and all the noise seems to come to an abrupt end, preparing for the arrival of the night. As for you, you can spend the whole day riding, boating, fishing and bird watching at will, or even do nothing but take a quiet walk. On the lake, there are boats floating from time to time, and rays of sunshine are sprinkled on the body, which makes the mood quiet and peaceful, and it is also another sublimation of life.
Caesarea, imagine the prosperity in the ruins.
Caesarea, imagine the prosperity in the ruins.
This city has a glorious history, but in 640 AD, it was conquered by Arabs and began to decline. By the time Saladin occupied it, the whole city had been completely destroyed and in ruins. Nowadays, things have changed, and this broken column is littered with seawater, enduring the relentless erosion of seawater.
The ancient city of Caesarea is still there. Entering the city gate, the ruins are displayed on the Mediterranean Sea. Many Roman columns hung over the ruins of the palace. In front of the palace was the port of that year, but unfortunately only the outline was left.
A magnificent city, the highland by the sea, reminds people of the spectacular colonnade in the ancient Egyptian temple. Cylindrical xueyi
At the end of 20 18, the trip to Israel came back smoothly, and I was deeply touched after coming back.
I want to say a lot, but I can't finish a sentence or two. I found what I think is the most typical nine points to describe briefly.
First of all, we went to the southern city of Eilat, where the scenery was particularly beautiful and the border was particularly strict. Israel borders Egypt and Jordan and is surrounded by Arab countries. After getting off the plane, I saw the iron fence and high wall in the desert as the border to prevent terrorists for the first time. I'm worried, but I'm safe. ) You can see Jordan from Eilat.
Needless to say, the old city of Jerusalem (the holy city of religion) at night, we walked in the old city of Jerusalem at night and felt the shuttle of time and the heavy sense of history.
In the middle of Israel, I saw Ramon Pit and Ramon Town, the spectacular natural landscape and the oasis rising in the desert, which shocked me.
Israel's famous Dead Sea, a health resort, is the first time to experience the Dead Sea. Lying reading the newspaper [snickering] is amazing. It gives me the feeling that my skin is particularly good after soaking for several hours, and I haven't played enough. I want to go there again later.
Haifa is a city in northern Israel. Haifa is a landmark of the hanging garden, which is particularly beautiful when overlooking. The city is very modern and full of green.
Israeli soldier: Streets are all over Israel, including shopping malls and parks. You can see young people carrying long guns serving at the railway station. Israeli national military service, it is said that the pike weighs 7 kilograms, and the soldiers are fully responsible for the guns. Figure 9: The modern city Tel Aviv is as prosperous as Beijing and Shanghai. Driving all the way from south to north feels like thousands of years. Israel is really beyond my imagination! (A few thousand words are omitted here [chuckle]) Finally, I recommend a book, The Country of Entrepreneurship. If you are interested, you can have a look, which will make you have different ideas about this country.
There are many stories and legends about Jews. In fact, Israel is not so mysterious. Everyone should go at least once.
It is not as good as you think, nor as bad as you think. Everyone will have their own understanding when they go.
I don't know when Israel became a controversial and sad word. When it comes to her, most people think of chaos and disorder. Maybe what you see is fighting, barrenness and smoke, but in my eyes, she is a brilliant, rich and sweet portrayal of orange fruit, and her beauty is worth your long journey to worship and taste.
With the theme of "the best flight service in the world", we flew 1 1 hour on Friday morning local time and set foot on this hot land under the guidance of our exclusive guide. After that, the exclusive driver took us to the Intercontinental Hotel David in Tel Aviv to check in. The hotel is located in the center of Tel Aviv, and it is convenient to go to various scenic spots.
As a typical foodie, I have long coveted Mediterranean cuisine. Unexpectedly, the tour guide of HHtravel Honghu Lake not only satisfied my taste buds, but most importantly, made me, who was called the chef of dark cuisine by my friends, have a little confidence in cooking.
After breakfast the next day, we went to Carmel Market in Tel Aviv, which has a history of over 100 years, to see Ollie Ziff, a gourmet tutor. Ollie Ziff graduated from Hebrew University, majoring in nutrition. She loves vegetarianism and took us to the largest local free market, where all kinds of dried fruits and Middle Eastern spices are dazzling. In addition to the most famous dates, tomatoes, kiwis, pineapples and all kinds of unexpected fruits can be made into dried fruits here, which are bright and attractive, and people have to stop and watch. We selected some ingredients for lunch here.
Then, under the guidance of Ollie Ziff, I learned to stew chickpeas with salted fish, spinach, pita cakes and fig salad. This is our lunch, which should be the most unusual way to eat chickpeas I have ever seen, but it tastes good. Instructor Ollie Ziff told us that Israeli food has a strong regional color. Almost every meal here starts with salad and pita cake, with hummus, sesame sauce and eggplant sauce. The most famous one is hummus, which is made of ground hummus and seasoning. It is often eaten with bread and raw fish and has a very special taste.
In the afternoon, the tour guide led us to visit the ancient city of Jaffa on foot. This ancient block and church built on the mountain reflects the history of this ancient city. There are top Israeli artists, galleries, jewelry stores and antique shops in the building, and we can feel the charm of modern Israeli art, the combination of sad legends and abstract modern art.
After that, the tour guide also arranged a bicycle ride by the sea for us. The beautiful seaside highway is like a long link, connecting Jaffa, a thousand-year-old city, with the fashionable and modern Tel Aviv. At sunset, we parked our bicycles on the side of the road and quietly watched the sun fall into the sea on the Tel Aviv waterfront. The orange-red waves roll to the shore with tender feelings, splash and then slowly recede. In this way, a sunny day in Tel Aviv ended in this fiery sunset.
We enjoyed dinner at the famous Blue Rooster Restaurant, which was opened by international chef Shaul Ben Aderet. In the Israeli embassies in Brazil, Uruguay and many countries, there are customized dinners representing Israeli characteristics by chef Adelette. The restaurant is more like a private collection. There are all kinds of handicrafts in the shop, and small ornaments in the shape of roosters can be seen everywhere. In the evening, we also went to Susanna Delair Art Center to enjoy the modern Israeli dance performance.
Rothschild Street is an innovative base in Tel Aviv. Thousands of young people are shaping their own world in houses on both sides of the street, and half of Tel Aviv's innovative companies are here. On one side is the Bauhaus building in Baicheng, and on the other side is the skyscraper in Tel Aviv. There are many fashionable contemporary art galleries in Tel Aviv on the avenue. Art-loving children's shoes can be punched in.
On the fourth day, we came to Tiberias. Besides visiting Fu Ba Hall, Capernaum Hall, Peter's Heart Donation Hall and Five Cakes and Two Fish Hall, we also visited Lake Galilee by boat. In autumn, Lake Galilee is blue and the sky is high and the clouds are light. Interestingly, the captain also raised a five-star red flag on the cruise ship, and March of the Volunteers floated on Lake Galilee.
Hula Valley is located in northern Israel, at the foot of the Golan Heights, only 30 kilometers away from the border between Israel and Lebanon. This is the first wetland nature reserve in Israel, and it is also the only place for migratory birds to migrate from Europe to Africa. Every year, thousands of birds transit, rest and nest here. However, the annual viewing period of migratory birds is generally 1 1 until April of the following year. We went in autumn, so we missed it. Friends who want to see migratory birds must pay attention to choosing the right time.
I believe that most people, like me, know about the Dead Sea from textbooks. During this trip, I not only witnessed the beauty of the Dead Sea with my own eyes, but also enjoyed the pleasure of floating in the Dead Sea. The water in the Dead Sea is dark blue, and the very calm and salty water keeps people from sinking and swimming. Interestingly, if one arm is put into the water, the other arm or leg will float. The tour guide told us that if we immerse ourselves in the water, the correct posture is to gradually tilt our backs until we lie flat. However, mineral water should be prepared on the shore. If seawater accidentally enters your eyes, you can wash it with mineral water immediately.
When I arrived in Jerusalem, I was looking forward to climbing the rooftop observation deck recommended by Lonely Planet and looking around the old city. Standing on the observation deck, you can have a panoramic view of the four districts of the old city. At sunset, it is very pleasant to watch the dome building on the Temple Mount not far away reflecting the orange sunset. The old city, which looks vicissitudes and heavy in the sun during the day, shows a colorful side at the moment, as if telling the prosperity of the floating world here thousands of years ago. Strolling through the city and passing through the majestic Damascus Gate at the northern end of the old city seems to have entered the history of thousands of years ago. You can also experience the most authentic market culture here.
At the last stop, the tour guide also arranged a 14 hike for us, and the destination was wailing wall, the first holy place of Judaism. Wailing wall is full of Jews. I watched everyone recite the Bible silently. Some people even touched wailing wall and whispered, and they could not help but be moved by their pious hearts.
I don't know when it started. Israel thinks it is a brilliant, rich and sweet portrayal of orange fruit in Ogilvy & Mather's heart, and its beauty is worth worshipping and tasting by friends.
My sister stayed in Israel for *** 10 days, playing from the northernmost part of Israel to the southernmost part. Even if the span is so big, I don't need to bring many clothes. A small feather or a coat is enough to cope with the whole trip (because my sister went in winter, and the locals say that the coldest month in Israel is 1 April, I think it is acceptable to be cold, after all. )
Next, I would like to introduce to my friends the personal experience of Ogilvy & Mather 10 day trip.
