The first stop of the wonderful journey in Sri Lanka

Yesterday, we flew more than 7 hours from Shanghai to Sri Lanka, exchanged currency at the airport (we exchanged US dollars from Beijing, and then used US dollars to exchange rupees, which is more cost-effective) and then bought a SIM card, 20G for 1400 rupees, 30G for 1800 rupees, then we went back to the hotel, we didn't even eat dinner and just went to sleep. The first stop, we came to St. Mary's Church, sincerely praying for our trip to go smoothly Then we went to a place where you can experience riding an elephant. The entrance fee is 15 US dollars, and a round of elephant riding is 20 US dollars. The place is very original, and the elephants can rest by the stream. Then we climbed Lion Rock before the sun set. The guide said there were more than 1200 steps in total, and it was not difficult to climb up. Both the elderly and children went up. We finally took many beautiful photos, but the sun set very quickly, and it felt like we didn't take many photos before we couldn't see the sun. The itinerary of the first stop was a bit tight, but it was also very enjoyable😁
