Al-Siq Review

作为世界新七大奇迹之一，佩特拉不单有神庙、有修道院、有蛇道、诵唱、烛火，有最贵的门票（670块），它还有最犟的驴～～呵呵

蛇道是通往佩特拉古城的一条峡谷，因其蜿蜒而狭长而成为“蛇道”。这里最窄的地方仅能通过自驾马车，稍微宽的地方也不过几米的样子。蛇道两边的崖壁色彩鲜艳，最深印象就是临近卡兹尼神庙时，穿过最狭窄的蛇道，一缕阳光照在卡兹尼神庙的崖壁上，那一瞬间让人感动到流泪。

去往佩特拉古城，必须经过一条长达1.5公里的峡谷，这实际上是高大的岩石山体之间的一条缝隙，非常狭窄，当地人称它为蛇道，感叹大自然的鬼斧神工。如今为了方便游客进出，这条蛇道的大部分路面已经修葺平整。

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.

Snake Way is the only access to the ancient city of Petra. Hidden in the mountains around, more than 1000 meters above sea level in the alpine canyon, it is difficult to find. This narrow road is as slender and winding as a snake, so it is called snake road. The narrowest part of the serpentine road can only pass through a camel. Looking up, it is a narrow gap. Walking into it, the sun can't shine, which is the magic of nature.

Petra Ancient City is Jordan's only successful site for heritage application. The only entrance must pass through the narrow cliff walls, towering and winding paths leading to the 1.5 km long "Xike Canyon" masterpiece of nature, the widest 7 meters and the narrowest 2 meters bending, more than 100 meters of cliff walls shielding the hot sun, the canyon is bright and dark mottled land, and the end of the snake path is "Temple". This natural Rift Valley is vividly called Snake Way.

Snake Way is the only access to the ancient city of Petra. In the desert of southern Jordan, it is very difficult to find an ancient city in a valley about 260 kilometers away from the capital Amman and 1000 meters above sea level. Only through this narrow serpentine road can we enter the ancient city. In the high valleys, the narrowest place can only pass through a camel. Looking up, it is a narrow gap. Walking into it, the blasting sun can not be sunburnt. It's really the magic of nature.

Snake Way is a winding passageway in the ancient city of Petra, so it is called Snake Way. The starting point is at the gate of the ancient city and the ending point is at the Nizni Temple, which is nearly two kilometers long. The serpentine road is formed by a crack in a valley nearly 100 metres high, which is as wide as a small square; the narrowest place is just a carriage; walking in it, the scenery changes endlessly, amazing the magic of nature, and envying the good fortune of the Petra people, can find such a natural shelter. On both sides of the serpentine road, there are defensive fortifications, water supply channels, carved gods and altars, which make people stop to watch from time to time...
