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.

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.

The fish market on the periphery is busiest from 5 to 7 in the morning. Under the dim light, bargaining is repeated. The so-called tour guide enthusiastically introduces you to all kinds of strange and never-before-seen seafood. .

The ancient city of Galle, located on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, covers an area of 360,000 square meters. It is a must-check ancient city in Sri Lanka. Walking on the thick embankment, the slight sea breeze is light... cozy; shuttled in the streets and alleys, the strong style hits the face...comfortable

This serene temple sits on three floating platforms which are connected to each other and to the mainland by floating bridges. There are numerous seated Buddha statues displaying different mudras (hand gestures) on all three platforms. The central platform houses wooden paneled temple for meditation. The view of the surrounding Colombo skyline from the central platform is beautiful. A small entrance fee to the temple applies to foreigners.

In Sri Lanka, although compared to China's infrastructure is very backward, there is no modernization and no highway, and there is no high-speed rail all over China. There are three-wheeled motorcycles in the Cultural Revolution period in China. The exhaust of this car is the main leader of the fresh air pollution. Fortunately, Sri Lanka is in the middle of the sea. The sea breeze blows the dirty air to nowhere. I don’t know. Anyway, the air in Sri Lanka is fresh. Always clear. The streets are not without congestion, and there are not many people who do not obey traffic order, which also makes me wonder why? With this question, I began to observe. First of all, I didn't see police officers all over the city and Chinese-like co-policemen (Chinese people like to call them two). So who is managing public transportation in the city? Later, every time I passed the crossroads, I looked for the police, did not see... So strange, is the quality of the Sri Lankans belonging to the Third World so much higher than our Chinese? How many people would obey traffic rules so perfectly in Beijing, without camera surveillance and huge fines?
