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.

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.

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.

pan***he
The brass palace in Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka, cannot enter, the door is closed, but it does not prevent it from looking outside. (Dogs are casually in and out), you can see the spectacular columns through the fence, which are quite high, but not thick. It is said that there are 1600. I don't know if anyone has really counted them. But the bronze hall looked small and slightly weaker.
