16 things to do when traveling in Sri Lanka

As the holiday approaches, many friends will choose to travel abroad. So what are Amway's strategies if you travel to Sri Lanka? Come and have a look with me.

First, go to Colombo, the capital.

The first stop in Sri Lanka is Colombo. Colombo, as the capital, has different architectural styles and shapes. Walking in the city will make people feel the crisscross of time and space and the collision of many cultures.

In this contrasting city, you can live in an elegant mansion or a suite in Hilton. You can enjoy delicious food in first-class restaurants, and you can also taste irresistible roadside snacks. You can shop in high-end boutiques or bargain at the market. ...

Second, boating Negombo

Negombo is a port city in western Sri Lanka. It's a small fishing village with salty taste. When you come here, you can go boating in the clear waves of Negombo Shoal or bathe in the clear sea.

Row a banana boat out to sea with the locals or dry dried fish together. When you hear the call of the beach, don't hesitate to plop into the sea and be free and easy.

Third, go to Minar to see wild elephants.

Minaria National Park used to be a reservoir with many bushes and forests, covering an area of 88.9 square kilometers. This is the best place to watch a large number of wild elephants. During the dry season from May to September every year, the reservoir dries up, naturally forming a huge natural grassland, attracting a large number of elephants and many wild animals to inhabit here.

It's also about watching elephants. Compared with Pinnavarre Elephant Orphanage, I still recommend Minar Ya, where you can not only watch the living conditions of wild elephants in the natural environment, but also take a jeep tour, which is more fun and there are other wild animals to enjoy!

Fourth, climb the Lion Mountain and overlook it.

When you come to Sri Lanka, Lion Rock is one of the attractions you must not miss! In the eyes of local people, it is "the eighth wonder of the world", which combines the wisdom of nature and human beings and has magical colors. It is a national treasure of Sri Lanka.

If you just glance at the flowers, you can see Lion Rock in less than two hours, but if you want to visit the palace ruins on this boulder, you must climb steep steps and breathtaking sightseeing revolving iron ladders to reach the top.

5. Pray at the Buddha's Tooth Temple.

Foya Temple is the most famous Buddhist resort in Sri Lanka. It is located on the Kandy Lake in Kandy City, and is famous for offering Buddha's teeth to Sakyamuni.

Kandy has a humid and warm climate, beautiful scenery and many historical sites, and has always been a holy place for tourists. When you come to Kandy, you must not miss the Foya Temple.

Six, walking at the end of the world

Horton Plain is the only national park in Sri Lanka that allows tourists to walk.

At the end of the world, there is a cliff nearly 1000 meters away. Standing high, the combination of morning light and fog is shocking, and you can vaguely see the southern coast and the Indian Ocean in the distance.

Seven, close contact with animals in Yala.

You have never been to Sri Lanka until you have visited Yala National Park. There are a large number of wild animals in national parks, ranging from Ceylon leopard, elephant and hairy bear to wild boar and 100 species of birds. There are all kinds of wild animals in the zoo. Some people call it "Oriental Kenya".

When you enter the park by off-road vehicle, elk herds and wild elephants can be seen everywhere. If you are lucky, you can also see Ceylon leopards.

Watch the sunrise and sunset in Galle ancient city

Located in the southwest of Sri Lanka, the ancient city of Galle is a famous coastal city in Sri Lanka. The beautiful environment surrounded by the sea on three sides, the endless Indian Ocean at the foot of the city wall, and numerous castles and fortresses in the city are all manifestations of Galle's amorous feelings.

You can stroll in Dutch-style alleys, linger in various museums, stop at the observation deck of coral walls or lighthouses, and enjoy the sunrise and sunset in the Indian Ocean.

Nine, be a stilt fisherman

Vertical fishing on stilts is a traditional local fishing method, which is known as "the best fishing method in the world" and has become a must-see for tourists coming to Galle.

To master this fishing skill handed down from generation to generation, you must not only have good balance ability, but also stand the test of sea breeze and sunshine, sometimes sitting for hours. But now, with the progress of social culture, this traditional skill is only for tourists to watch and experience.

X. Experience in driving a small train

There are two trains in Sri Lanka that can't be missed. One train is the Nanoa-Elamisti mountain train, and the other is the Galle-Colombo seaside train.

The trains in Sri Lanka don't stop all the time, and the train doors are always open. The train slowly shuttled through the winding tropical jungle, and the beautiful scenery slowly flowed away from the window. While enjoying the scenery of the alpine tea garden in Sri Lanka, we can also feel the enthusiasm of the Sri Lankan people.

Eleven, whale watching at sea

Sri Lanka is one of the best whale watching places in the world. Watching whales and dolphins by boat is one of the favorite projects for tourists who love animals and like adventure.

Generally speaking, whales are smart and docile creatures, roaming alone in the endless deep sea and reading thousands of miles of scenery in the underwater world. Their carefree and endless fun will deeply touch our hearts.

Twelve, tropical fruit to eat.

For friends who love fruit in Sri Lanka, it's like a mouse falling into a rice jar. You can eat domestic expensive tropical fruits here. Mango, mangosteen and rambutan are all very cheap in Lanka. The most famous specialty here is a kind of golden coconut, which is cheap and sweet, and is deeply loved by people.

I recommend some roadside fruit stalls in Sri Lanka. The price is very cheap and the quality is very good. I recommend this white spherical fruit, which is called "Mu Apple" by the locals. It has high nutritional value and unique taste. Curious friends can try!

Thirteen, put on sari and take beautiful photos.

The sari of Sri Lankan women is difficult to put on, but it is gorgeous and beautiful. It may be a dream for women and children who love beauty to come here and put on beautiful saris and take some special photos. If it's no trouble, you can customize a sari for yourself. You can take it to take photos the next day to add another color to your memories.

Fourteen, take a bunny car and experience speed and passion.

When you come to Sri Lanka, you must take the Tu Tu bus, which is the most grounded transportation. Bunny Bunny is actually an electric tricycle. In a sense, Tu Tu car is a symbol of Sri Lanka.

Bunny Bunny car is convenient and flexible, even if the road conditions are not good, you can shuttle around and leave! But still beware of derailed drivers!

15. Enjoy traditional dances

If you miss the annual "Buddha's Tooth Festival" in Kandy, enjoying the traditional dance performance in Sri Lanka will be the best way to understand the nation, culture, religion and customs of this country. With the strong beat of drum music, men and women dressed in ethnic costumes danced and the actors performed acrobatics on the stage. All kinds of dances make people see things in a blur, but the most attractive thing is the last finale-stepping on fire barefoot.

Wonderful traditional dance performances can be enjoyed at the Nicomalan Theatre near the City Hall and the ancient city of Kandy.

Sixteen, rubbing photos with local people

Sri Lanka is recognized as a "smiling country" in the world. Despite the war, the people of Lanka are still strong and optimistic. The people here are very enthusiastic, and they are happy to show their charming smiles in front of your camera.
