The ancient city of Polonnaruvo has a history of more than 1,500 years. This is a UNESCO world heritage list and is worth visiting. The ancient city is very large in size, and its basic overview can still be seen.

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.

Polonnaruwa is a world heritage site, especially the Royal Palace. Among them, Vatadage, really amazing, is actually an ancient building complex, of which Vatadage (ring stone house, also known as quadrangle courtyard or round Buddha house), the sculpting of the stalwart and the moonstone are very exquisite, the moonstone here is different from Anuradhapura, where different animals cross in the same circle, This is a circle of animals, and we laymen can only see these shallow differences. The guardstone is separated on both sides of the steps to defend the Buddha statue.

The Royal Palace is located in the heart of the ancient city of Polonnaruvo and is the residence of King Poloromobo I. The palace is 31 meters long and 13 meters wide, built on a high base, according to historical records, the palace once had seven floors high, four floors above the wooden structure, and then burned due to fire, leaving only three layers of brick structure at the bottom, the thickness of the bottom brick wall is very large, there are many openings on it, not like windows. The palace is fairly complete in the ancient palace group. It is on the east side of the royal bath and the king's parliament hall.

Lankatiraq Buddha Temple is a special attraction in the ancient city, very distinctive. The building is very majestic and tall. Although it is broken in Sri Lanka's attractions, it is absolutely magnificent and recommended!
