What taboos should I pay attention to when traveling to Sri Lanka?

Every country has its own unique customs and culture, so it is necessary for those who plan to travel abroad to have a clear understanding of each country's culture, especially religious beliefs. Be sure not to touch the taboo items of local people, otherwise the dispute will have a bad influence on individuals and the country.

Sri Lanka is a country with religious beliefs, and religions vary from place to place. Therefore, when you go to a city, you must first understand what their religion is. For example, people in Negombo believe in Christianity and people in Kandy believe in Buddhism. For believers with religious beliefs, don't talk about religious issues in front of them, but respect their beliefs.

In Buddhist culture, the head is a sacred place, and you can't touch it casually, especially when you see lovely children. China people have the habit of touching their heads, which must be noted. If you go to Buddhist scenic spots, remember not to wear too many clothes, or you will be refused entry. Generally, you will be asked to take off your shoes when entering the temple, and you should visit clockwise when visiting.

In cities with many temples, you often meet monks on the road. If you want to take pictures, you'd better ask the other party's permission in advance. If you visit a temple, you should pay attention to whether there is a sign "No Photographing" on the wall. In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, you'd better not shoot indiscriminately.

In Sri Lanka, some restaurants are halal. You can't drink or talk about pork in these places. Pay attention when ordering. For local people, they think their left hand is dirty, so don't use it when eating or handing things.
