Introduction of tourist attractions in Sri Lanka

Known as "Tears of the Indian Ocean", Sri Lanka, formerly known as "Ceylon", has beautiful beaches, a thousand-year-old city, Dutch castles and rich tropical flora and fauna. Although this country infiltrated by Buddhism has experienced war, the lotus is still in full bloom, and Sinhala means "a bright and rich paradise".

With unparalleled seashore, lush lowlands, rich natural and cultural heritage and unique and charming cultural atmosphere, it was once known as "the Pearl of the Indian Ocean" and "the Kingdom of Black Tea". When I arrived in Sri Lanka, I was greeted by a strong flavor of spices and tropical island countries. Ancient cities, shrines, temples, groves or wild grasslands, swarms of elephants, monkeys, beautiful birds and butterflies make people happily shuttle back and forth.

Colombo, the capital, is one of the ancient cities of Sri Lanka, and is known as the "Oriental Crossroads". There are "national trees", ironwood trees and "national flowers" water lilies everywhere in the streets and alleys, but more are towering coconut trees. There are also many strange trees, such as the "rain tree"-the leaves absorb water in the evening until the sun rises, the leaves stretch and the water is sprinkled under the trees like raindrops.

On the streets of the old city of Colombo, Hindu and Buddhist temples, Islamic temples and Christian churches complement each other. The National Museum, located on the south side of Victoria Park, is one of the main landscapes in Colombo. It is the largest collection of cultural relics in Sri Lanka, displaying precious cultural relics in various historical periods, the most striking of which is the monument built in Sri Lanka by Sambo, the eunuch of the Ming Dynasty, when he went to the Western Ocean. The top of the monument is engraved with China's designs and words.

This best-preserved urban center in Asia has been formally proposed to be listed as the eighth wonder of the world cultural heritage. Sri Lanka's traditional architectural style is vividly displayed here: the gardens, paths and waterside pavilions under the trees are integrated; Symmetric and asymmetric architectural elements complement each other; Perfect combination of changeable plane, axis and radius design; On the east and west sides, two moats and three city walls surround two rectangular urban areas.

The beautiful Indian Ocean, ancient religious culture, primitive exotic customs and authentic black tea make tourists here linger.
