On December 21, 2023, in Sri Lanka
The afternoon itinerary is to drive to the Galle Ancient City for a visit.
The Galle Ancient City and Castle were built by the Portuguese in the 16th century. This ancient city, located at the southernmost tip of Sri Lanka and built on rocks, was once a military fortress and still retains its artillery. Looking far away, the vast Indian Ocean is in sight, and the quiet ancient city has small streets crisscrossing. Portuguese and Dutch colonial-style buildings can be seen everywhere, revealing the old colonial atmosphere everywhere.
The mottled city wall is not only a witness to the changes in Galle during the colonial period, but also protected the entire ancient city in the 2004 South Asian tsunami; the tall clock tower has been in use for more than 400 years and is still quite accurate; at the other end of the ancient city, a white lighthouse stands by the sea, providing guidance for passing ships.
It was listed as a World Cultural Heritage in 1988.

It is located in the Galle Fort, only one kilometer from the Galle Railway Station. It takes 10 minutes to walk to the beach.
After careful renovation, the old house looks like a new look, which not only keeps the old charm of the old house, but also does not lose the modern comfort and cleanliness. The whole room looks elegant and full of emotion. The wooden furniture in the room floated for a long time, as if the time had fallen back and fell back to the story of the house that was a few hundred years ago.
The hotel has only four or five rooms, it is best to book in advance, breakfast is ordering, there are not many varieties, mainly Western food, the first floor is both a courtyard and a restaurant, as well as a lovely comet.
