点评:Exploring the Jerash Archaeological Park was one of those travel days where you’re constantly reminded just how incredible human history can be. Sprawling, beautifully preserved, and surprisingly easy to wander, the site quickly became one of our favourite stops in Jordan. From the moment we stepped through Hadrian’s Arch, it felt like we were entering an ancient world frozen in time.
What makes the park so special is the sheer variety of landmarks packed into one space—towering gateways, sweeping colonnaded streets, intricate temples, enormous theatres, and hidden corners that suddenly reveal mosaics or towering columns. Every turn felt like a new discovery. Even in the late-August heat, we found ourselves slowing down, taking it all in, and appreciating how well-preserved so many of the structures are.
What really struck us was the scale. You can spend hours here (we did!) and still feel like you’re peeling back layers of history, from Roman grandeur to Byzantine craftsmanship. And despite being such a significant archaeological site, it never felt overwhelming or difficult to navigate—just incredibly immersive.
If you’re visiting Jordan, the Jerash Archaeological Park is absolutely unmissable. It’s one of those rare places where the past feels genuinely alive, and walking among its ruins was a highlight of our entire trip.
翻译:探索杰拉什考古公园的经历,让我们一次又一次地感受到人类历史的伟大。这片遗址规模宏大,保存完好,而且漫步其中也十分轻松,很快就成为了我们在约旦最喜欢的景点之一。从我们踏入哈德良拱门的那一刻起,仿佛就进入了一个时间静止的古代世界。
公园的独特之处在于,它将种类繁多的历史遗迹汇聚于同一空间——高耸的城门、蜿蜒的柱廊街道、精雕细琢的寺庙、宏伟的剧院,以及那些不经意间展现出马赛克镶嵌画或巍峨石柱的隐秘角落。每一次转弯都像是一次新的发现。即使在八月下旬的炎热天气里,我们也放慢了脚步,细细品味,并由衷地赞叹众多建筑的保存之完好。
真正让我们震撼的是它的规模。你可以在这里待上几个小时(我们就是这么做的!),仍然会感觉自己仿佛在一层层地揭开历史的面纱,从罗马的宏伟壮丽到拜占庭的精湛工艺,无不令人叹为观止。尽管杰拉什考古公园规模宏大,却丝毫没有让人感到不知所措或难以游览的感觉——反而让人完全沉浸其中。
如果你有机会去约旦,杰拉什考古公园绝对不容错过。这里是那种难得一见的能让人感受到历史鲜活气息的地方,漫步于遗址之间是我们整个旅程中最美好的回忆之一。
