Absolutely enamored by the rich history and stunning architecture of Galle Fort in Sri Lanka. The well-preserved colonial buildings and charming cobblestone streets make it a must-see destination for history buffs and architecture enthusiasts alike. The panoramic views of the Indian Ocean from the ramparts are unparalleled. A truly magical experience!

旅の径
Gao Yu fisherman, unique landscape of Sri Lanka's southwestern coastline, iconic business card of Sri Lanka tourism. It is rumored that a long time ago, in the Galle-Merissa section of the southwest coastline of Sri Lanka (35 kilometers), fishermen without money to buy fishing boats, in the shallow sea area tree in the middle of the tripod, wading on the wooden stakes to climb on the wooden stakes and sit on the rack, in the way of baitless sea fishing, Waiting for the peregrine to hook the sardines in the shallow sea area, the harvest is not bad. From the shore, it looks like a group of fishers with feet on the sorghum, and the "sorghum fisherman" is named. The blue sky and white clouds, the swaying background board of coconut trees, the waves, the sparkling Indian Ocean, the bushes of wooden stakes, the silhouette of the hard-working fishermen... one blockbuster, became a compulsory course for Sri Lankan tourism. Today, fish - no longer important, swimming - is the hard reason for development. N points along the coastline, each inserted densely more than 100 wooden stakes, empty; as soon as the tourist bus arrived, more than ten fishermen climbed on the wooden stakes and sat on the racks holding fishing rods, sculpting; If tourists pay to pile up, try it, the most welcome... Tips: fishermen are sitting on the back of the sun, taking a clear photo of the face, it is not easy.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Hikkaduwa Beach, and I must say it left an unforgettable impression on me. This beautiful beach destination, located on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, is renowned for its great surfing conditions, high waves, and breathtaking sunsets. Here's my review of Hikkaduwa Beach.One of the standout features of Hikkaduwa Beach is its reputation as a surfer's paradise. If you're a fan of riding the waves, this is the place to be. The consistent swells and high waves make it an ideal spot for both beginners and experienced surfers. Whether you're looking to catch your first wave or conquer a challenging break, Hikkaduwa Beach offers an exhilarating surfing experience that won't disappoint.The beach itself is simply stunning. The powdery golden sand stretches along the coast, inviting visitors to relax and soak up the sun. The crystal-clear turquoise waters provide a refreshing escape from the heat, and the surrounding palm trees create a picturesque backdrop. Hikkaduwa Beach is well-maintained and clean, making it a pleasant environment for beachgoers.One of the highlights of my visit to Hikkaduwa Beach was witnessing the mesmerizing sunsets. As the sun begins its descent, the sky transforms into a canvas of vibrant hues, painting an awe-inspiring picture. Watching the sun sink below the horizon while casting its warm glow on the waves is a truly magical experience. I highly recommend staying until dusk to witness the beauty of the Hikkaduwa Beach sunset.In terms of amenities, Hikkaduwa Beach offers a range of facilities to ensure visitors have a comfortable stay. There are several surf schools and rental shops available, providing equipment and lessons for those looking to learn or improve their surfing skills. Additionally, you'll find a variety of beachfront restaurants and cafes, offering delicious local cuisine and refreshing beverages.Ho

The coast of Unawatuna is very long, and tourists walk on the beach or watch fishing boats return. The fresh big fish is in love, but unfortunately it can't be cooked. There are small streets near the beach, stylish and romantic, suitable for taking pictures and buying small objects. It is not far from the ancient city of Galle to take TUTU, it is best to stay overnight.

During my recent trip to Sri Lanka, I had the pleasure of visiting Mirissa Beach, a coastal gem located on the southern coast of the island. Mirissa Beach offers a unique combination of serene shores, the opportunity to spot turtles, and a range of attractions that make it a captivating destination. Here's my review of Mirissa Beach.One of the highlights of Mirissa Beach is its association with sea turtles. If you're a nature enthusiast or simply fascinated by marine life, you're in for a treat. Mirissa is renowned for its turtle population, and visitors have the chance to witness these gentle creatures in their natural habitat. By embarking on a turtle-watching excursion, you can observe turtles swimming gracefully in the crystal-clear waters or witness the incredible sight of hatchlings making their way to the sea. It's an unforgettable experience that offers a glimpse into the wonders of marine life.Apart from its turtle conservation efforts, Mirissa Beach boasts a variety of attractions that cater to different interests. One of the must-visit spots is the Mirissa Harbor, where you can take boat tours to witness majestic whales and dolphins frolicking in the Indian Ocean. These exhilarating trips allow you to get up close and personal with these magnificent creatures, creating memories that will last a lifetime.For those seeking a more laid-back experience, Mirissa Beach offers a tranquil environment ideal for relaxation. The soft golden sands and swaying palm trees create a picturesque setting, perfect for lounging under the sun or indulging in a beachside picnic. The beach is relatively clean and well-maintained, providing a pleasant atmosphere for visitors.When it comes to dining, Mirissa Beach doesn't disappoint. The beachfront is lined with a variety of restaurants and cafes, offering a range of culinary delights. From fresh seafood to traditional Sri Lankan cuisine, the

The old gate of Galle is located in the northeast of the ancient city of Galle, and the appearance is a bit shabby. The gates are fortified warehouses and yellow Mediterranean-style buildings. The gate is not big, it is engraved with Dutch VOC (Verenigde Osstindische Compagnie), the Dutch East India Company, and later the British colonists occupied Galle, in order to facilitate the car access, the current new gate was built.
