Israel on the horizon

Experienced Chinese travelers, who have already seen a lot of the US and major European countries, are now seeking places a bit off the beaten track. Yang Feiyue reports.

A cradle of religions, Israel has started drawing an increasing number of Chinese tourists to savor its history and modern vibe.

The number of Chinese tourists visiting Israel topped 25,000 in the first seven months of 2015, up nearly 30 percent year on year.
