Originally there was no such gate, this city gate was completely, and then opened, now after opening this gate, you can open to traffic, you can drive in, it is really convenient. But the old city gate is better, think about the old city gate is really a fortress city gate, want to attack, it is not easy, keep that one only door can be.
The beautiful Indian Ocean, which separates the new gates of Galle and the old town. Galle always gives me a sense of history, whether it is the vicissitudes of the gate or the sea wall built by the coral reef. Very strong sense of history
I want to go abroad again, these buildings have been in my heart.
