Al-Siq

As one of the seven new wonders of the world, Petra not only has temples, monasteries, snake roads, chanting, candlelight, the most expensive ticket (670 yuan), but also the most expensive donkey.

The snake road is a canyon leading to the ancient city of Petra, which is narrow and long and becomes a "snake road". The narrowest part is only a few meters wide by car. The cliffs on both sides of the snake road are colorful, and the deepest impression is that when approaching the Kazny Temple, through the narrowest snake road, a ray of sunshine shines on the cliff of Kazny Temple, which makes people move to tears.

To go to the ancient city of Petra, you must pass through a canyon that is1.5 kilometers long. This is actually a gap between the tall rocky mountains. It is very narrow. The locals call it a snakeway and lament the magic of nature. Most of the road has been renovated to facilitate visitors' access.

This walk is magical. The walls of the canyon on both sides engulf you, and the treasury eventually appears at the very end. I don't suggest one of the donkey cart rides, they looked really uncomfortable.

蛇道是进入佩特拉古城的唯一通道。隐藏于群山环绕，海拔1000多米的高山峡谷中，很难发现。这狭小的道像蛇一样细长而弯曲，所以叫蛇道。蛇道最狭窄的地方只能经过一匹骆驼，往上看，就是窄窄的一条山缝。走入其中，多爆烈的太阳也晒不到，真是大自然馈与的神奇。

佩特拉古城是约旦唯一申遗成功的著名景点，唯一入口必须通过狭窄逼仄崖壁高耸曲径通幽鬼斧神工大自然杰作的长1.5公里的“西客峡谷”，最宽7米最窄2米弯弯曲曲，100多米崖壁遮挡了炎热的太阳，峡谷里光线明暗斑驳陆离，蛇道尽头就是“神殿”。这条天然形成的大裂谷被人们形象生动地称为“蛇道”再恰当不过了！

蛇道是进入佩特拉古城的唯一通道。在约旦南部沙漠，距首都安曼约260公里、海拔1000米的高山峡谷中，很难发现古城，只有经过这狭小蛇道，才能进入古城。在高山峡谷中，最狭窄的地方只能经过一匹骆驼，往上看，就是窄窄的一条山缝。走入其中，多爆 的太阳也晒不到。真是大自然馈与的神奇。

【蛇道】是佩特拉古城中一条蜿蜒曲折的通道，故称做“蛇道”。起点在古城的山门口，终点在尼兹尼神殿，全长近两公里。蛇道由高达近百米的山谷裂缝形成，宽处犹如小广场; 最窄处仅能挤过一辆马车; 走在其中，景色变化无穷，令人感叹大自然的鬼斧神工，同时羡慕佩特拉人的好运，竟然可以找到这样一个天然的庇护所。在蛇道两旁，有防御工事、有供水渠道、雕刻的神像和祭坛，令人不时驻足观看……
