The root system of mangrove forests is developed, and the sea is submerged at high tide, and a lush forest is formed at low tide.

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!

I went there with a mood that I couldn’t see anything, because I felt that I was really looking for a needle in a haystack. As a result, I was especially grateful to the captain for his persistence. I saw hundreds of dolphins swimming back. The crew in the vast sea was reluctant to find whales. Everyone thought that today was hopeless, and found the whale group. And the empty sound of whales in the documentary, but unfortunately 🐳 did not take it, very amazing day! It's worth it!

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.

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

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 museum is a white building with a visual history of more than a century. The exhibitions of cultural relics are divided into categories. When you walk into different exhibition halls, you will see different themes. They also have English introductions. It is a good experience.
