Jerusalem – two nations, one holy city.

Today, I entered Israel through the land crossing, and in order to prevent trouble in the Arab countries in the future, Israel did not stamp the passport and sent us another piece of paper.

Since the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, the question of the ownership of Jerusalem and the Holy Land has been constantly stirring up the international situation. Conflicts have erupted again and again, and efforts for peace have never stopped, but they have also repeatedly fallen into the quagmire. How did this thousand-year-old city become a dead knot in modern history?

Jews and Arabs have been feuding for thousands of years, and Israel and Palestine have been at odds. We walk through the wall, wander through the bullet-hole walls, listen to the stories of the Bible, and shuttle between history and reality. It seems to have entered the area full of gunfire in the eyes of the Chinese people, returning to the years of burning passion, but still using the Israeli tour guide to say "Israel is safe", to the family and friends to report peace!

Wailing Wall – Make the most pious wishes in the place closest to God.

I am a person with no religious beliefs, and I am also full of interest in this holy land of three religions and a strong faith. I also came to the Wailing Wall to listen to the sad recounting of the once tragic Wailing Wall, which is also Israel's Burnt Day (also known as Holocaust Remembrance Day), set up to commemorate the six million Jews who were killed by the Nazis between 1933 and 1945.

That morning we heard the sound of the whistle and stood in silence to mourn the victims. The Wailing Wall also lowered the flag at half-mast, life is worthy of awe, I hope the world will always be peaceful, and the sense of form is very important!

The Mount of Olives – not only the holy mountain of Judaism and Christianity, but also the place where Jesus preached and preached, with the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of Nations and the olive trees of Jesus' day, and the best place to overlook the Old City of Jerusalem.

Walk through the "Bitter Road" of Jerusalem – many of the stories of the Bible take place in Jerusalem, where many legends such as Jesus' mission, death, resurrection, etc., can be found here, which adds to the charm of the Bible and the city of Jehovah.

The most anticipated thing today is to walk along the "Bitter Road" of the 14-stop Footsteps of Jesus' Death, which is full of legends and stories. At each stop there are legends documenting the death of Jesus. The street walls of stations 2 to 9 are carved and marked with bronze Roman numerals, and related churches are built nearby.
