Departing from Sigiriya in the morning, I drove to the Dambulla Cave Temple in half an hour. Buy tickets at the foot of the mountain. The latest ticket price is 1,500 rupees, which is the way out of the 1200 rupees introduced on the Raiders, so remember to budget more than 300 rupees. Then climb about 10 minutes or so to the entrance to the Grotto Temple. You can't wear shoes in the cave temple, so you should store your shoes at a rate of 25 rupees. Then check the ticket, enter the cave temple, and start to enjoy it. The Danbula Cave Temple is located in the middle of the island of Sri Lanka, 60 kilometers north of the ancient capital of Kandy. The temple was built in the 1st century BC and is a pilgrimage site in Sri Lanka. Danbula Cave Temple is a typical cave temple in Sri Lanka, situated on the slope of a rocky mountain. Cobble the temple from the mountain rock. There are various stone carving statues and other sculptures in the temple, and there are all murals. The Buddha Cave consists of five sacred churches. It is Sri Lanka's largest and most preserved cave temple. It is of great religious and artistic value and displays the charm of Buddhist art. Here is a reminder that the cave temple is closed at noon, open from 8:00 to 11:00 in the morning and from 2 to 7 in the afternoon.

This is a five-star hotel that advocates the concept of environmental protection Heritance Kandalama Hotel located near the Dambulla Cave Temple in Sri Lanka. Reduce the traces of human beings to the weakest, go out to nature, always feel that you are walking in a national park Interestingly, the transliteration of kandalama is like Chinese (see?), from It is really difficult to find the buildings hidden in the mountains from the direction of the hotel across the lake. This kind of harmony between man and nature is the spiritual feeling that the Lion State brings to tourists. Stayed at this hotel for one night and saw three pairs of Sri Lankan newlyweds holding a ceremony here, which shows that this hotel is in the hearts of its own people. The dining of this hotel is very good, I have to restrain myself from taking too much, otherwise I really want to be too full, but I really choose a lot and taste good.

The Dambulla Cave Temple is one of the first places in Sri Lanka to be named a World Heritage Site. In fact, I still believe in the eyes of the old guys in the United Nations. It is not that some small favors can be bought, and the country like Sri Lanka cannot come up with a small favor. Therefore, I would like to see wherever the world's cultural heritage is. However, except for one country, as for who is this country, you know. At the entrance to the temple, the little boy sells lotus flowers to us. In Sri Lanka, the locals will pray for a pure lotus flower when they pray to the temple. It is said that as early as two thousand years ago, at the end of the first century AD, South India had invaded Anuradhapura, the ancient capital of Ceylon. The king fled to Dambulla in order to escape the invasion of South India. , hide in the grottoes and get shelter from local monks. A few years later, the king regained the throne. In order to be grateful, the cave that had taken refuge in that year was built into a Buddhist temple and donated to local monks. The Danbula Cave Temple is located on the slope of a huge stone on the back of the Golden Temple. On a 160-meter-long granite level, five caves were manually cut. At first, only Buddha statues were built in three caves. Later, after two kings' expansion, they became the current five. It is said that there are dozens of miles around Dambulla. They used to be the settlement of monks. They are known for their meditation, and the Dambulla Cave Temple is a good place for Sri Lankans to reminisce about the past.

Sigiriya, listed in the United Nations World Heritage List in 1982, is about 170 kilometers northeast of Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka. It is located on the "Lion Rock" about 200 meters high. It is famous for its Sigiriya murals. The Sigiriya murals are The only non-religious mural that has been handed down in Sri Lanka's history. It was built in the 5th century Datu Shena Dynasty. It is the same name as Borobudur in Indonesia, Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Ajanta Cave in India. The terrain of the Lion Rock has been very strange. With such a breathtaking palace ruin, even without the title of the Eighth Wonder, Lion Rock is definitely the most worthwhile place in Lanka. The entrance to the air palace in Figure 9 is a narrow staircase that is closed. The few murals facing the spiral ladder are the best preserved. The murals are painted on a layer of lime painted on rocks. All these bright colors are mineral extracts and are made with glue and egg yolk. These 20 portraits are just a small part of the Lion Rock mural. From the west side of the rock to the northeast corner, there is a painting strip of 140 meters long and 40 meters wide at the widest point. These natural pigments disappear gradually after a long period of sun and rain, leaving only some pigments. And the traces of plaster, only these more than 20 in the rock depression can be preserved, incomparably precious Figure 1.

The entire hotel is situated in the virgin forest, as if it were set in the rock! Free and open walkways and naturally exposed rock slopes are fully integrated into the hotel design.

The left and right wings are rooms, from the end of one wing to the end of the other wing, up to one kilometer. If the room you live in is closer to the end, then after the elevator comes out, you may need to take a few more steps, but this can just accumulate your number of steps, and go back and forth. Just ranked in the top three! In fact, in the corridor to the room, it is not so boring, just take a shot, there will still be some good harvest! In the room, the favorite is this large bathtub that can admire the lush jungle, and the shower room where the monkeys will peek at you at any time. Travel vacation, its a pleasant thing to sleep in the hotel bed, but its a waste of sleep at Heritance Kandalama. and the monkeys outside the window greeted each other and walked all the way from the corridor to the restaurant, pretending that they were the cavemen who lived in the cave and went out for food!
