Follow in the Old City of Jerusalem, as if re-experiencing the "Bible", the story of the Old City through the northern end of the war that Damascus Gate majestic, like entering a history of several thousand years ago. There, a casual tile, or a spring will likely lead to a Bible story. In the holy city of Olive hill to watch sunrise gold Chaoyang can watch the Old City - the golden dome of the mosque rock was brilliant in Chaoyang irradiation noon.
