That's what I thought. So when I arrived in Tel Aviv, my first thought was: Am I in the wrong place? Are you sure this isn't Sydney? Well, definitely not. I didn't see the opera house.
Walking on the streets of Tel Aviv, you can't feel the cold atmosphere of war at all. Along the seaside road, there are people who exercise and keep fit everywhere. Look at the sea. People like ants are experiencing the fun of surfing. What's the situation? This is simply a paradise city for leisure and health.
Tel Aviv is the second largest city in Israel, and its official name is Tel Aviv-Jaffa. Jaffa is an ancient port that has existed for more than 4,000 years, while Tel Aviv was established in 1909. After the founding of Israel, the old and new cities merged into today's Tel Aviv.
Walking into the ancient town of Jaffa, it seems that you have returned to 4000 years ago in an instant, and there are traces of time everywhere. Maybe this is the weakness of the constellation. There is a statue of 12 constellation on the wishing bridge in the old city, and there is a constellation lane, even the house number is a constellation. The night is hazy, the sails are swaying, and the beautiful scenery makes you feel like you are in a painting. When you enter the port market, you basically sell second-hand goods or ship-breaking goods, but they are full of years of accumulation and are even more attractive.
The most attractive thing about the old city is food. Tourists come here to enjoy authentic Israeli cuisine. Especially the classic appetizer "Jie Shi", grilled eggplant or pickled herring, you should like it. In order to prove that I am not a foodie, you think I will tell you that the most common things here are fried eggplant and cauliflower, which are delicious and most suitable for appetizing. Of course, colorful salads are also good. As for the main course, the Middle East barbecue is excellent. A whole piece of meat was squashed, fried and baked, dipped in sesame sauce, and a packet of cupcakes. I can eat two plates. As for seafood, spicy fish soup is very good. I recommend it. There are meat and many vegetables, as well as the famous beef, tomato and onion hamburgers, as well as various dairy products. Do you think I will tell you about these delicious foods? Well, it makes me feel bad.
Tel Aviv is a sunny paradise, with sunshine all year round. If you want to play, just have a few key points.
Let's go and see Bauhaus first. At the beginning, a group of Jewish architects built a large number of typical Bauhaus buildings in Tel Aviv, which emphasized simplicity and practicality, geometric aesthetics, and less was more, which made Tel Aviv have the reputation of Baicheng. It is said that about 4,000 Bauhaus buildings have been preserved to this day and become world cultural heritage. When you come here, you will find that these buildings are various and have their own advantages. The most obvious features are arched balconies and long beams. Of course, I know nothing about architecture. These are all for sale. If you like it, you should experience it yourself. The feeling of being there is beyond description.
Another must-see place is the vegetable market. Hehe, it's not only delicious, but also the oldest vegetable market. Remember, to experience the local life and culture, the vegetable market must go. Carmel Market, the oldest vegetable market in Tel Aviv, opened in 1920 and has been the most famous vegetable market in the world for a hundred years. Here, seasonal fruits and vegetables, pickled raw fish, olives, rich and varied cheeses, olive oil unique to Israel and miscellaneous grains mixed with various spices and nuts are gathered here. If you are hungry, you must experience the favorite pita cake of Israel, and the fried hummus will definitely make you memorable.
