Jerusalem, a cultural and historical holy land, is worth a visit!

Jerusalem is the political, economic, cultural, and transportation center, and the capital of the Jerusalem District. It was the largest city in Palestine. The Old City of Jerusalem is 3,000 years old and is one of the oldest cities in the world. Jerusalem is a holy place for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. "Jeru" means "foundation stone" or "city," and "Salem" is mentioned in Genesis 14 of the Bible as the residence of the high priest Melchizedek, meaning "peace." Therefore, Jerusalem is called the "City of Peace." Here is a detailed guide I have compiled. If you find it helpful, please follow me! Attractions - Wailing Wall (Western Wall): Free. A spiritual holy place for Jews, where you can witness the devout prayers of believers and feel the power of religion. In the evening, the wall stones are bathed in the afterglow, creating a solemn and sacred atmosphere. - Church of the Holy Sepulchre: Free. One of the most sacred places in Christianity, with unique architectural style and relics of Jesus' crucifixion. Walking through it, history and faith intertwine. - Mount of Olives: Free. Offers a panoramic view of the Old City of Jerusalem. The mountain is covered with olive trees, and you can enjoy the sunset, with golden afterglow spreading over the city, creating a spectacular view. Food - Falafel, about 20–30 NIS (about 45–65 CNY), fried chickpea patties with crispy skin, served with vegetable sauce, nutritious and delicious, available in street shops everywhere. - Hummus, 15–25 NIS (about 30–55 CNY), chickpea dip with bread, with a delicate and smooth texture and rich sauce. - Shawarma, 30–40 NIS (about 65–90 CNY), grilled meat wraps with a fragrant aroma and fresh and crispy vegetables. Accommodation It is recommended to stay in a hotel in the new city, 800–1,500 CNY/night, with modern and comfortable conditions, convenient transportation, and easy travel. Notes During the Sabbath (from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday), most public transportation is suspended, and shops and restaurants are closed, so plan your itinerary in advance. Respect the rules of religious places, such as dressing appropriately and keeping quiet when entering churches and mosques. Pay attention to personal safety and do not travel alone. ⚠️
