Pluck 🌿 the pink mosque 🕌 in Colombo.

📍Detailed address: Near Pettah Market, Colombo, Sri Lanka. 🌈Highlight features: ✅The Red Mosque 🕌 was built in 1908 and is one of the landmark buildings in Colombo. ✅This is a red and white brick building that stands out in the bustling Beta district. ✅It is said that in the early 20th century, many sailors who came to Sri Lanka used it to identify whether they were at the port of Colombo. ✅A place that many people come to Colombo to check in, personally I think it is very worth visiting. 📌Small Tips: ✅When we went there, the mosque was having a prayer and only open to men. We couldn't go inside because it's a mosque🕌. Female tourists seem to have a special entrance, but they can't go inside the innermost area. So we just took some photos outside and left. ✅Encountered a travel photographer helping a handsome guy take photos. 💰Average spending per person: Admission: not required 🚗Transportation guide: Tuk-tuk or app-based taxi ⏳Playtime: about 1 hour 📝Attention tips: Beware of small ❤️ scammers!!! It's amazing that we even encountered a wild tour guide. A very enthusiastic local saw that we didn't go in and ran over to greet us, pulling out a map and chatting away. The world isn't that kind, I don't believe there are such kind-hearted people. Jami-Ul-Alfar Mosque
