Standing in Front of Jaffa Gate, I Could Strongly Feel the Power of the City, and Even the Country

Standing in front of Jaffa Gate, I could strongly feel the power of the city, and even the country. Israel, the country I love the most, was founded in 1968, and has a very vital position in the Middle- East. When I arrived in Tel Aviv, the capital city of Israel, I could easily feel the mysterious atmosphere of this secret place, a promise land of God. What impressed me the most must be Jerusalem, which is one of the oldest cities in the world, and is regarded as holy to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Masada is an ancient fortress built by King Herod of Judea, and was designated as the World Heritage Site in 2001. I still remember it was a tough uphill path, and it took me about two hours to climb to the top. I was so sweat then, feeling regretful to wake up at four that day. However, when seeing the amazing sunrise and capturing this fabulous photo, I suddenly realize the magic power of this place. Though there was once a tragedy happening here, causing more than 960 Jewish dead, I could feel the miraculous atmosphere happening around. No wonder it is said that “Masada shall not fall again.” When it comes to “the navel of the world”, I think almost everyone knows it is the Dead Sea. I felt so uncertain and afraid before I walked to the sea. Surprisingly, it was such an easy thing to float. Floating in the Dead Sea is awesome though I got severe sunburn afterward. After this unforgettable trip to Israel, it is not hard to imagine why such country, even having wars with Islam world, could still stand its position throughout the world. I miss the time having a sip of my Jewish tea, and glancing around the old city on the rooftop of Jerusalem. I know I will be back soon, Israel. .
