Sri Lanka's Internet Celebrity Tower: Ambuluwawa
Sri Lanka's 🇱🇰 internet celebrity landmark, Ambuluwawa Tower, is located in Gampola, 3 kilometers from the city, and is considered one of the most beautiful towers in Sri Lanka.
Ambuluwawa is Sri Lanka's first multi-religious worship site, with a Buddhist temple, Hindu temple, Muslim mosque, and a Christian church located at the peak of this mountain. People of all religions come here to worship, and this place is a symbol of religious harmony in Sri Lanka.
Amubuluwawa has an average temperature of 21-24 degrees throughout the year, which is cooler compared to the heat of Colombo. As a mountain city, Kandy has a pleasant climate and a beautiful natural environment.
Amubuluwawa was built with a special meaning, with each level representing different crops: fruits, vegetables, and also symbolizing the Sri Lankan people's emphasis on agriculture and their good wishes and desire for a bountiful harvest.
Reaching the top offers a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Gampola, which is a great challenge for those with acrophobia (I am one of them, and it was very difficult to climb to the top with the encouragement and protection of friends). However, it is well worth a visit, as it is a spiritual cleansing experience with exceptionally beautiful scenery.
The first floor of the tower sells handicrafts and souvenirs, and the cafe at the foot of the mountain is highly recommended. The coffee and desserts are very good, and it's also a great place for taking photos and checking in. Remember to bring a jacket or scarf 🧣 when visiting Amubuluwawa. For accommodation, you can choose a boutique hotel at the foot of the mountain or opt to stay in Kandy city (20-30 minutes away).

The Pearl of the Indian Ocean: Sri Lanka's Practical Raiders
Sri Lanka means land of happiness or land of light and richness in Sinhalese, and has the reputation of gem kingdom and the pearl of the Indian Ocean. But Polo thinks it is the most beautiful island. Here are a few recommended experiences for punching:
Galle is a southern coastal city in Sri Lanka, it is not known for its beaches, but for the castles, they have been included World cultural heritage, all shots are large. The most local speciality is the fishermen of the Gaochun sea fishing. Although this has now become a paid viewing project, I still feel worthwhile. They are like the masters of the sea, and they are agile. It is often less than 5 minutes to throw a rod and catch a fish. Its just that the income from the sea is meager, so its not allowed to charge. Usually take pictures around 500 rupees.
The beautiful sea train
is finally the time to dream of the sea train on the prototype of Spirited Away. My heart has been excited and embarrassed since the early morning, from Beruwala Tickets to Colombo are only INR 110. The rails stretch along the coastline and are really poetic. But pay attention to safety, speed is not as slow as you think, from time to time will pass the pole, so the body does not stick out too much.
Udawalawe Safari
Udawalawe National Park is famous for its wild elephants. In addition, visitors can also see buffalo, sambar, cats, The lazy bear is even a leopard and a large number of wild birds. To enter Udawalawi, you need to take a local open-top off-road vehicle. In addition to the driver, you must hire a professional guide who is familiar with the park's terrain and animal distribution. The off-road vehicle screams into the national park, this unfamiliar natural world in Safari

For Sri Lanka, the easiest thing for me to think about is its black tea.
The tea garden there is very large and green, so it is good to lie on the lawn for a good afternoon, then have a cup of tea.

Kandy is the old capital of Sri Lanka, 115 km from the capital, Colombo, and has undergone the Sinhalese and colonial rule. The center of the city is Kandy Lake, and behind it is surrounded by mountains. Kandy, which is backed by the mountains, and the Temple of the Tooth Relic, enshrine the teeth of the Buddha Sakyamuni. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Kandy has many attractions, mainly palace architecture and Buddhist culture. As a result of the Sinhala Dynasty as the capital of Sri Lanka and later colonial history, Kandy retained some royal architecture and exotic colonial architecture. More importantly, in the feudal era, the presence of the royal family made Kandy gather the essence of Sri Lankan culture! These include royally funded temples, beautifully constructed sculpture murals and more. The famous Buddha Tooth Relic Temple enshrines the teeth of Buddha Sakyamuni. It is the national treasure of Sri Lanka. There is a Buddha tooth festival every year. At that time, 100 elephants will be paraded on the streets, and thousands of people will be reveling in the back. This sacred carnival moment will be unforgettable.

In Sri Lanka, nothing is more suitable for a trip to Ceylon than a saree.
The skin is thickly dressed in blingbling sari, wandering around Kandy, passing through the botanical garden, walking through Kandy Lake, entering the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, and rushing to feel the friendly smile in the crowd. If time permits, I hope that I can be as slow as a Lanca, slower down... simpler, simpler...

The streets of Kandy are always very tasteful. The colorful buses come and go are an extremely attractive scenery. In addition to the bus, there are also delicate tugs to stop the streets. The driver of the car is always friendly to you. Saying hello, I look forward to making a single business.
If it happens to meet the evening of a sun-drenched red sky, it is really beautiful. Groups of birds scream in the sky, warm light sprinkles on the streets full of exotic customs, everything feels a little bit no real.
It's not fashionable, there are no amazing buildings, some places can even be said to be a little messy, but it has its own unique label: "Kandy", here is here, different from other places, also Unlike the badness elsewhere, everything seems to be flustered but methodical.
At 7 o'clock, it was still a lot of traffic. After 8:00, most shops have already had a rest, which is amazing. Is the lively street that I have just passed? Marveling at the same time and feeling cute, this is their way of life, so this is the case, and we are the "abnormal elements" in their eyes ~

World Cultural Heritage Kandy, a beautiful small town in central Sri Lanka. Surrounded by mountains in the city, the center has a beautiful and quiet lake. In the afternoon, leisurely people walk along the streets of Kandy, accompanied by the characteristic horse-riding traffic police, which is the most beautiful street scene in Kandy.
The most central Kandy Lake is a small and beautiful lake in the city of Kandy. It is also the central area for the activities of Kandy citizens. Strolling along the shores of Kandy Lake, you can feel the deep leisure and coziness.
City of Kandy, lying quietly in central Sri Lanka, living a life without a fight. Strolling through the city, I feel the silence and peace of mind at all times, which makes people feel moved.
