Dambulla Cave Temple|I thought I entered some kind of paradise

|I thought I entered some kind of paradise. If you go to climb Sigiriya Lion Rock... You must come here! You must come here! You must come here! ✓At first, I didn't care about it, just as a transit station for Lion Rock, and to check in, but it exceeded expectations. ✓So, Dambulla Cave Temple, as a world cultural heritage listed by Unesco, is reasonable. ✓It is recommended to take a tuk-tuk directly to the top of the mountain to visit the cave, and then go down the mountain after visiting the cave, and you won't feel too tired. Address: Dambulla Cave Temple, Dambulla Time: 7:00~19:00 Ticket: 2000 rupees Scale: 5 caves, 157 Buddha statues, 2100 square meters of murals Transportation: Dambulla city is very small, it can't even be called a city. If you live in the center, the farthest distance is within 2km History: In the 1st century BC, King Vattagamaniabahaga defeated the Tamils from the Indian subcontinent, regained the territory and throne here, so he relied on this hill shaped like a fish spine, excavated the cave to thank the gods. With the expansion and decoration of the kings of the past dynasties, five large-scale cave statue groups were formed. Key: The "Fearless Mountain Temple Sect" created by King attagamaniabahaga, who reigned from 77-89 BC, caused a split in Sri Lankan Buddhism. At that time, the Chinese Faxian went to the Fearless Mountain Temple in Anuradhapura for study.
