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.
The snake path is the only access to the ancient city of Petra. Hidden in mountains, more than 1,000 meters above sea level, it is difficult to find. This narrow path is as slender and curved as a snake, so it is called the snake path. The narrowest part of the snake road can only pass by a camel, and looking up, it is a narrow mountain seam. Walking into it, the sun can't get in, it is really a magical gift from nature.

The snake road is the only passage to the ancient city of Petra. In the southern Jordanian desert, about 260 kilometers from the capital Amman, and 1000 meters above sea level, it is difficult to find the ancient city. Only through this narrow snake road can you enter the ancient city. In the alpine canyon, the narrowest place can only pass by a camel, and looking up, it is a narrow mountain seam. Walking into it, the sun can't get too hot. It's really a magical gift from nature.
[Snake Road] is a winding passage in the ancient city of Petra, so it is called the "snake road". The starting point is at the mountain gate of the ancient city, and the end is at the Nizni Temple, which is nearly two kilometers long. The snake path is formed by cracks in the valley nearly 100 meters high, and the width is like a small square; the narrowest can only squeeze a carriage; walking in it, the scenery is endless, the wonder of nature, and the luck of the Petra people is envied. Such a natural shelter can be found. On both sides of the snake road, there are fortifications, water channels, carved statues and altars, which make people stop to watch from time to time...
