Capital Israel_Tel Aviv

As the morning mist lingers, the Mediterranean breeze sweeps along Rothschild Boulevard. The Bauhaus-style buildings lining the street are wrapped in pale white walls, with narrow windows revealing scattered lights—this is the morning in the "White City," the world's largest modernist architectural complex, with an 80-year history that has earned it World Heritage status. Riding a bike along the coast, morning joggers and dog walkers pass by, seaside restaurants open their umbrellas, and the air is filled with the aroma of coffee and olive oil. In the afternoon, wander into the Zodiac Alley of Old Jaffa, where the pale yellow stone walls glow warmly under the sunlight. The scent of paint drifts from art studios on the corner, while Jewish and Muslim vendors loudly call out at the flea market, with antique silverware and handmade textiles gleaming on the stalls. Climb to the high point of HaPisgah Garden to see the red roofs of the Old City and the white buildings of Tel Aviv lining the Mediterranean coast, where ancient and modern seamlessly connect. At dusk, sit in a restaurant on Alma Beach as the sunset dyes the sea golden red. The hummus on the plate mixed with olive oil pairs with freshly baked pita bread, while electronic music from the next table blends with the sound of waves crashing ashore. This heart of the "Silicon Valley of the Middle East" pulses with the energy of nearly 6,000 innovative companies, yet also harbors the leisurely spirit of a thousand-year-old port. As night deepens, the lights of Dizengoff Square come on. Amid the guitar sounds of street performers, young people raise beers and laugh, and the art museum extends its hours for evening exhibitions. This "city that never sleeps" never needs noise to prove its vitality; it writes a unique footnote on the Mediterranean shore through the fusion of history and the present.
