The pure white tower is so spectacular, it is a pure beauty when you look far away, but when you approach, the solemn and sacred look is awe-inspiring

Sri Lanka's oldest Shelita, Thhuparamaya, is also the first Buddhist building built in the 3rd century BC. Unlike the Great White Tower I have visited before, there are many stone pillars around, some are obviously tilted, so that the white pagoda under the blue sky adds a lot of vicissitudes.

Statues/Sculptures

Inside the holy city there is one of the few ancient Buddha statues. The sculpture of this Buddha statue is very particular. It is said that this Buddha statue will have different expressions from different angles. It can be imagined that the sculpture technology at that time was superb. You need to take off your shoes when you enter the Buddha statue visiting area. The parties are very religious and they take off their shoes directly. Step barefoot on the small stone, kneel before the Buddha statue, hands closed, then prayed reverently.

Grottoes

旅の径
World Heritage Site - Danbul Grottoes is the largest and most famous and well-preserved cave temple in Sri Lanka. A small half-day tour of the grottoes is arranged, and the impression of 4 o'clock is still fresh. 1. The ancient caves. Danbuler Grottoes were built in 89 BC (one said 1-2 century AD), earlier than the Mogao Grottoes built in 366 AD in China. After more than 1,000 years of unremitting efforts, 5 caves and caves were formed between the rock walls of the boulders (186 meters high). 2. Like the beauty. The 2100 square meters mural and 157 Buddha statues in the grotto are all the treasures of Buddhist art. The most beautiful murals. The Buddha statues in the grotto No. 2 - Dawang Grottoes are made from the top and the walls of the caves. The most beautiful statues. Grottoes No. 1 - The 14-meter-long reclining Buddha in Tianwang Grottoes is huge, peaceful and line-by-line. 3. Fun of monkeys. From the foot of the mountain to the grotto, it takes more than 20 minutes to walk on the mountain road with more than 400 steps. Along the way, the view is wide, the air is fresh, and the monkeys can be seen in groups, or play, or play, or exercise. The locals told: store shoes, not to prevent people from stealing, but to prevent monkeys from grabbing. 4. Feet pain. Take off your shoes and you can enter the hole to show piety. Hot sand, lame stones, footboards hurt so much... Nobody ever reminded to wear thick socks.

The Fearless Hill Shelita is one of the attractions inside the holy city. The exterior of the Shelita looks like a big clock. Indeed, if you are immersed in the situation, you will feel that the Shelita is large and shocking. There are many believers under the Shelita. They are used to incense and walk around the Shelita. Because it is open air, and the sun is very powerful, Entering the Shelita requires taking off your shoes, and if you really walk barefoot into your footboard it will feel very hot, so it is recommended to put on your socks to enter.

Michendal in the southeast of Anuradpur, is also a Buddhist temple worth visiting. It takes a certain amount of physical strength to climb from the foot of the mountain. The steps are not steep, but you can count to fall asleep. :) This was once one of the enlightenment places of Sri Lankan Buddhism. Nurtured countless Buddhists, pious worship Buddha.
