Indian Ocean island nation Sri Lanka, among the mangrove forests around the coastline, Bantota mangroves are the strongest, most extensive and most ornamental in the original ecology. Mangroves, refers to woody plant communities that grow in tidal flat wetlands on tropical and subtropical coastlines, are special ecological systems for land to sea transition, named for their bark trunks of major tree species are reddish brown. The mangrove forest of Bangtota is located at the mouth of the Madu River 80 kilometers south of Colombo. The river is interlaced, the coast is long, and the islands are many. It is like a river and more like a lake. The rafting water, the swaying coconut groves and the red roots, show the beauty of the original ecology; The houses on the island, the wooden sheds in the water, tell the hard work of the author; the waves of the yacht, the raft of the canoe, enjoy the gifts of nature... I never thought, the most mirrored is the monkey. The teenager who was rowing the canoe, a black-haired monkey in his arms, close to the yacht, tourists pay 200 rupees, you can hug the monkey, the monkey is very photogenic, the baby is a little timid...

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!

The museum is housed in a two storeys building. The galleries on the ground floor are arranged in a historical sequence starting from the prehistoric ages. The galleries on the upper floor are arranged on a thematic basis. Be prepared to spend a few hours in the museum if you are interested in the history of Sri Lanka as the museum houses a huge collection of artifacts. There are also many statues of Buddha. You can find one of the most well-preserved statues of Buddha from the fourth century in the lobby.

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

DEAR张小球
The beach of Bangtota under dusk is really beautiful. And it happens to be dusk, many tourists have gone back one after another, the whole beach is particularly small, and it is perfect to quietly enjoy the sunset.
