🌍Jerash through time and space | Touching the millennium civilization among the Roman stone columns ✨Shock at first sight✨ Standing under Hadrian's Arch, the sunlight penetrates the mottled stone gate, as if the Roman legions 2,000 years ago were marching past. This best-preserved ancient Roman city in the Middle East was once the pearl on the Silk Road, but it slept for a thousand years in the 8th century earthquake and was not awakened until 1806 by German explorers. Today, every stone slab is like an open history book, and I have become the most devout reader. 📸Must-check-in attractions 1️⃣ Oval Square: 56 Corinthian stone columns surround like a harp, and the light and shadow of the morning are sprinkled on the stone steps. Every shot is an epic blockbuster. The guide handed over a stone mysteriously: "Knock it!" The crisp melody flowed out of the "music stone". It turns out that the ancient Romans understood the mystery of music. 2️⃣ Cardo Avenue: The 800-meter-long stone road is full of ruts. Touching those traces of varying depths, you can hear the jingle of caravan camel bells. Under the colonnade is a "credit slab" engraved in ancient Arabic, which looks very much like a membership account book in a modern supermarket. 3️⃣ South Theater: Try to reenact the famous scene of "Gladiator" - stand in the center of the theater and clap your hands, and the echo can penetrate the entire 3,000-person stand! During the July music festival, this place will be transformed into an open-air concert hall, but unfortunately I missed the night when Pavarotti once sang in residence. 💡 Personally tested strategy 🚌 Transportation: It only takes 2JD (about 20 yuan) to take a local bus from Amman North Station, and it takes 1 hour to get to the south gate of the ancient city, saving 200 yuan compared to chartering a car! 🎫Tickets: It is strongly recommended to buy Jordan Pass (75JD), which includes two-day tickets to Jerash + Petra + visa fees, saving 40JD immediately. ⚠️Avoid pitfalls: The vendors outside the scenic area offer high prices, and the sand painting refrigerator magnets are reduced from 5JD to 1JD to be a reasonable price! Remember to bring enough mineral water, the price of 1JD/bottle in the scenic area is painful. 🌟Warm adventure The most unforgettable thing is not the monuments, but the smiles of the locals. Next to the Temple of Artemis, the old man in white robes forced me to drink iced pomegranate juice; on the return minibus, a woman holding a baby suddenly invited me to her home. Although the language is not fluent, the table of hummus, mint tea and pilaf is more delicious than any Michelin. When we parted, the child leaned on the windowsill and shouted "Come again next time", and suddenly understood the meaning of travel-civilization will collapse, but the glory of human nature will never be annihilated. 📍Travel Tips ▫️ Outfit: Wear sneakers! The uneven cobblestone road is prone to sprains ▫️ Time: Enter the park at 8 am or after 3 pm to avoid the midday sun ▫️ Hidden tricks: On Friday afternoons, you can often encounter locals improvising traditional instruments in the theater Standing in the ruins of the Temple of Zeus and overlooking the entire city, the wind suddenly blew. Did the Romans 2,000 years ago also look at the same sunset here? In the oblique shadows cast by the stone pillars, history and reality overlap quietly. There is no rose-colored wonder of Petra here, but it allows me to touch the truest temperature of civilization. #JordanJorash #JordanTravelGuide #AncientRomanRuins #AncientRomanRuins #JordanMiracleJourney
