Museums

The museum is housed in a two storeys building. The galleries on the ground floor are arranged in a historical sequence starting from the prehistoric ages. The galleries on the upper floor are arranged on a thematic basis. Be prepared to spend a few hours in the museum if you are interested in the history of Sri Lanka as the museum houses a huge collection of artifacts. There are also many statues of Buddha. You can find one of the most well-preserved statues of Buddha from the fourth century in the lobby.

This Bandaranaike International Conference Center was built free of charge in China. It represents a landmark of China-Slovenia friendly relations in the local area. The Chinese Embassy is also opposite. The shape of the building is very similar to the Great Hall of the People. There are also statues of great people inside.

Vehamahadwi Park is an oasis in this warm and busy city where you can sit and read books, walk or ride a bike. It is calm and cool in the morning, but some areas of the park can become crowded by night. There are a lot of people in the park and they are resting. There is a big golden Buddha at the entrance, attracting many people and tourists. Generally speaking, it is worth a visit, punch in the place, leave a photo of tourists.

Many other temples are decent. The place changes a lot every year, many of which are pushed down and built with money from innocent people, which is unacceptable. There is a temple nearby called Vipassana Meditation Center, which is quiet and decent. This temple has many Buddhist believers and organizes charitable activities. This temple is located in Colombo, a good place to learn about Buddhist philosophy. Bodhi Temple in Colombo, Sri Lanka is worth a visit. There are many pure gold Buddha statues and many valuable handicrafts.

St. Mary's Church is a particularly beautiful Catholic church and the surroundings are also very good. People here hold weddings. Most will choose to be held here at St. Mary's Church, which is also a local landmark historical building.

The first stop of Sri Lanka's tour, stayed at the five-star hotel on the edge of Lake Bella in the center of Colombo - Lake Cinnamon. In the early morning of the next morning, strolling inside and outside the hotel, was shocked by the beauty in front of you... Sri Lanka's tallest building - China helped build a 536-meter-high Lotus TV Tower, which showed a shadow in the rising sun; Colombo's most beautiful city lake - Lake Bella, flooded in the paddle of the rowing boat; Colombo's largest pool - the hotel's exclusive pool, blue in the cheerful cicadas... a happy day started.
