Dead Sea
The Dead Sea is located at the intersection of Israel, Jordan, and Palestine, a long, narrow saltwater lake nestled between the Judean Desert and the surrounding mountains. The lake's salinity is far higher than that of ordinary seawater, making it difficult for fish and other aquatic life to survive. Only a small amount of algae and microorganisms remain in the lake, and no vegetation grows along the shore, which is how it earned the straightforward and vivid name Dead Sea. There are no tides here, and the lake surface remains calm year-round. Under the sunlight, it resembles a bronze mirror, reflecting the surrounding desolate mountains and deserts, presenting a bleak landscape rarely seen elsewhere. The surface of the Dead Sea is more than 400 m below sea level, and the lakeshore is the lowest point on Earth's exposed land, earning it the nickname "the navel of the world." The extremely high salt content provides buoyancy far exceeding that of ordinary seawater. As long as you relax your body, you can float on your back; even if you can't swim, you don't have to worry about sinking, and you can even lie on the water holding a newspaper to pass the time. The black mineral mud deposited at the bottom of the lake is also a local feature. Many tourists cover themselves in the black mud before floating in the water for a while, which is an iconic Dead Sea experience. The southwest lakeshore on the Israel side is home to many beaches and bathing areas, making it very convenient to experience floating. In the surrounding desert area, you can also participate in adventure activities such as jeep tours, camel riding, and rappelling.Israel · Dead Sea Region
Old City
Old City is a walled ancient city in the heart of Jerusalem. Covering less than 1 square kilometer, it is a place with a high concentration of holy sites for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The Old City is traditionally divided into 4 different quarters, each with a distinct atmosphere: the Jewish Quarter has tidy streets and preserves the ruins of the Cardo from the Roman-Byzantine period; in the Christian Quarter, the Way of the Cross - Via Dolorosa, which extends from the Lion's Gate to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, connects 14 stations. The final stations are located within the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which is believed to be the site of Jesus' crucifixion and burial and welcomes pilgrims from all over the world year-round; in the bustling area, the market streets extending inward from the Damascus Gate are lined with stalls selling spices, sweets, olive wood carvings, and more; the Armenian Quarter is much quieter, where painted ceramic workshops are a long-standing traditional craft. The Temple Mount, located on a high platform in the southeast of the Old City, stands apart from the 4 quarters. The golden-domed Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque are both located within this compound. The golden dome is particularly striking in the sunlight and is a highly recognizable landmark on the Old City's skyline; the Western Wall on the west side of the compound is a holy site for Jewish prayer, where many visitors tuck notes with their wishes into the cracks of the stones. The Old City is best explored on foot, with many cobblestone paths, steps, and slopes. When entering religious sites such as churches and mosques, please ensure your shoulders and knees are covered; early mornings and evenings have fewer crowds and softer light, making it easier to avoid the rush and capture beautiful photos.Israel · Jerusalem
Old City
Jaffa Old City, located south of Tel Aviv on the Mediterranean coast, is an ancient city with thousands of years of history and a landmark of Tel Aviv. The Bible mentions that the timber used to build the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem was transported from here. Looking south from the Tel Aviv seaside, you'll see small hills surrounded by houses, topped with a clock tower – that's Jaffa Old City. The Old City is now mostly home to artists' residences, studios, and art shops. It has also become a symbol of the 12 zodiac signs, with fountains named after each sign, alleyways named after them, and wishing bridges for each sign. It's said that if you find your sign's relief on the bridge, gently touch it, face the sea, and make a wish, it will come true. Unfortunately, the wishing bridges are now closed due to disrepair. Wander through the intricate alleyways, along the cobblestone streets that record a thousand years of history, finding your own alleyway. Don't worry about getting lost; every corner holds a surprise. Perhaps you'll even find that orange tree hanging from a large rock somewhere. In the heart of the Old City is a square with a visitor center where you can get a free map of Jaffa. Below the visitor center is a small museum showcasing the city's history through artifacts and a 4D film. From the hilltop overlooking the Old City, you can enjoy stunning views of Tel Aviv and the Mediterranean Sea. Adjacent to Jaffa's Old City stands the 100-year-old Turkish Clock Tower. The Old City lies along the ancient harbor, now mostly filled with private yachts. Every morning, many people gather at the harbor to await the fishermen's freshest catch. Along the harbor are several seafood restaurants and some free art galleries—explore them; you're sure to find something delightful.Israel · Tel Aviv
Church of the Holy Sepulchre
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, also known as the "Hall of Resurrection", is located in the Old City of East Jerusalem, Israel. This is the site of the tomb of Jesus, a Christian holy site, and one of the Christian cathedrals in Jerusalem. This church holds a special significance as the place where Jesus Christ was killed, buried and resurrected. Legend has it that before Jesus was killed, he carried a heavy cross along the "Road of Passion" and walked to the execution ground with difficulty step by step.Israel · Jerusalem

Zion Gate
Located on the south side of the Old City of Jerusalem, it was built by Suleiman the Great in 1540 and named because it faces Mount Zion in the south. It is called the Gate of David because the tomb of David is located on Mount Zion, so it is also called "The Gate of David". Inside the city gate are the Armenian and Jewish quarters.Israel · Jerusalem
Tel Aviv Port
Tel Aviv Port is located on the seaside to the north of Tel Aviv. After some renovations by the city government, it has now become a large entertainment, leisure and shopping place. The seaside is covered with wooden planks, and smooth stones of different shapes are placed at will, which can be used for decoration or chairs. Various creative ideas are displayed in every corner. Many families like to bring their children to play here, and of course it is also suitable for couples. In addition to the plank road, there are also a large number of former warehouses that have become shopping stores, nightclubs, bars, restaurants, performance centers, and a European-style vegetable market.Israel · Tel Aviv

A very interesting and lively place to get lost in. The old city is divided into different religious quarters so it's fascinating to see how the quarters differ and how everyone mingles.

In the north of the Old City of Jerusalem, it is said that Judas betrayed Jesus here. There is a tree that is more than 2,000 years old, which is very historical. There is also a stone word "peace" spelled on the ground in the courtyard. It is now also a church.

In autumn, when you come to the mountains to harvest walnuts, the owner provides you with poles and gloves. You won't have to climb the trees; you can just stand under the trees and hit them. Crack open the fallen walnuts, and the tender kernels are sweet and delicious—they're fragrant even if you eat them raw. A full sack costs less than at the supermarket, and the owner even helps remove the green husks and pack the walnuts. While harvesting walnuts, the whole mountain is filled with the fresh scent of walnut leaves. Spending a leisurely afternoon there is much more comfortable than rushing to tourist attractions and getting exhausted, plus you can take fresh walnuts home.

The Tel Aviv Port is still very beautiful, with blue sky and blue sea, and everything is very leisurely. Sitting by the sea, having a cup of coffee, and quietly watching the ebb and flow of the tide is really very happy!
