A well-known Chinese production company and movie stars completed filming last week of a Chinese epic called “Old Cinderella”. The Tourism Ministry, which supported the filming of the movie in Israel, expects that the movie will positively affect the numbers of Chinese tourists visiting Israel.
As a result of this, their first visit to Israel, leading actress Zhang Jingchu decided to relocate the filming of a campaign in which she was starring for the De Beers diamond company from Paris to the Dead Sea.
“I fell in love with Israel and decided that we have to shoot the campaign here. I simply asked the camera crew at very short notice to relocate the filming from Paris to the Dead Sea,” explains Jingchu.
Last weekend, the De Beers campaign was filmed against the backdrop of the Dead Sea.

The site, which emerged from humble beginnings, is the go-to resource for young English speaking tourists in Israel. The site covers an unprecedented range of topics ranging from the typical tourist sites such as Masada or the Dead Sea, to places which are off the beaten track which were previously inaccessible to English speaking tourists. It also covers concerts, festivals, activities, restaurants, and accommodation information to provide the complete information package that tourists need when planning to visit Israel.

Jerusalem
In honor of Earth Day and in order to raise awareness about climate change, Mayor of Jerusalem Nir Barkat turned off the lights illuminating the Old City Walls at 20:00 today, 22 April. Barkat was joined by Swedish pilgrim and Brother of the Military and Hospitaller Order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem, Jӧrgen Nilsson who yesterday arrived at the Jaffa Gate at the end of a 5 month, 5,000K pilgrimage on foot from Sweden to Jerusalem. Dr. Kusum Vyas, founder of the Living Planet Organization and a keynote speaker at the First International Jerusalem Symposium on Green and Accessible Pilgrimage, presented Mayor Barkat with an olive tree sapling and offered a traditional Hindu prayer for peace (Saanti Mantra) “May there be peace in heaven. May there be peace in the sky. May there be peace on earth. May there be peace in the water. May there be peace in the plants. May there be peace in the trees. May there be peace in the Gods. May there be peace in Brahman. May there be peace in all. May that peace, real peace, be mine.” After light out, Jerusalemites, tourists and symposium participants watched the first full-length movie screening powered by solar energy on the Old City Walls. The 78-minute Eco-Cinema movie, “Land of Genesis” showcases Israel’s landscapes, fauna and flora by following three mammals in their respective geographic habitats, as the seasons change.
