Old City Review

Jerusalem - "The most complex city in the world, Jewish, Christian and Islamic holy places. Two billion believers regard the landlord as a holy city. Jews regard it as the land of God's creation and covenant. Christians see it as the place of Jesus'suffering and resurrection. Muslims see it as the place where the Prophet Mohammed listens to Allah's blessings and the direction of Muslim worship before the Holy City of Mecca. Hebrew means "City of Peace". The paradox is that the war lasted for 3,000 years, with 37 major wars and 18 destroyed. God says, if there is beauty in the world, Jerusalem makes up 90% of it; or, a place flowing with milk and honey, . Simon, an English born in 1965, wrote a Book "Jerusalem 3000 years" which was translated into 35 languages and published in many countries. Before going abroad, he bought it specially, read it and could not understand it. Jerusalem is 108 square kilometers, and the old city in the East is 1 square kilometers. It is a tourist hotspot with a long history. It lies between the Mediterranean Sea and the Dead Sea. Because of its long history and too many resources, Jerusalem has become the most complex city in the world today. It is the most destined city in the world, which has been destroyed and rebuilt many times by foreigners.

In order to inherit and defend their teachings, all three denominations are here to declare. In 1980, Israel called Jerusalem their "eternal and indivisible capital". In 1988, Palestine declared Jerusalem its capital, and Jerusalem is still the scene of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Second, it is both a battlefield and a tourist hotspot. Some people hear that when I go to Jerusalem, I always ask about security. Indeed, there are frequent clashes between Palestine and Israel and gunfire. This is Jerusalem, but in this historical city of 126 square kilometers, there are Jewish crying walls and temple hills, Muslim dome mosques and Aksa mosques, as well as Christian churches and bitter roads. Believers of these three denominations are coming, and tourists from all over the world are coming. Thirdly, the inhabitants who live here are both ancient and modern, abide by the doctrines and rules, and live the life of their ancestors. As the masters of the city, they carefully restored, protected historical sites, and pursued modernization. They engaged in many green areas, business districts, industrial parks and new towns with a deep sense of modernization. Fourth, it is both specific and diversified, various nationalities and denominations live together, various cultures have influence, conflicts and integration. The old city of Jerusalem is surrounded by a circle of walls, but there are world-famous scenic spots - "Jewish crying wall and temple hill, Muslim dome mosque and Aksa mosque, as well as Christian churches and bitter roads. On July 31, 2016, I arrived in the afternoon and stayed in Xincheng District in the evening. After dinner, I took a barefoot walk. Like Chongqing Mountain City, I went up and down. The most Jewish men I saw - "black brass bonnet, suit and tie, black robe, beard.
