Located in Colombo, Sri Lanka, a high value and cost-effective niche specialty hotel, declined to smash the street hype network red hotel.
Specialty hotels in Sri Lanka tend to be more like a homestay. Only the price of a homestay can enjoy the high-end hotel-style services of owner, butler, breakfast, etc., and can better penetrate the local customs.
The highest value in the journey and the highest level of compulsion is the special private hotel called Annthma that we live in Colombo on New Year's Day.
The owner of the hotel is a young woman. According to her, the hotel was designed entirely by her mother. Its no exaggeration to describe this private hotel with stunning. Its amazing to just take a picture of the camera and forget about it. The shopping bags with souvenirs are all in the hotel until you leave. The hotel is hidden in the "grass" on the side of the road about 15 minutes drive from the city center. There are less than 10 rooms in total, but there are many restaurants, gardens, swimming pools, fish ponds and halls. The arrangement is clear. The design, color scheme, layout and style of each room are different, and the breakfast is very hearty and delicious. The entire hotel is exquisite to every detail, showing the designer's intentions.

Colombo, frankly, doesn't have the sights that must go in the traditional sense. The real attraction is the criss-crossing neighborhoods.
We, like treasure hunt, from the distant colonial period to the modernity of the day, discovering their once glorious history in front of buildings of different ages.
Whether it is Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism or Catholicism, all religions can find a place in this city and live in harmony.
Want to understand the history of this country, the Colombo National Museum is able to meet the needs of all.
If you are in a leisurely mood, go to the local restaurant to make a pot of Ceylon black tea to taste life, or go to the Independence Square to talk to the local students about the ideals. Many elements complement each other and form a historically precipitated and unmoving Colombo.

Colombo feels like a European city. As a colonial city, it has a century-old European architecture left by the Netherlands, Britain and Portugal. The various cultures are compatible here, but it does not look awkward. The two districts, the
fortress area and the beta area, are a must-see for every visitor to downtown Colombo. They are also the two most lively areas of Colombo, retaining many beautiful European architecture.
The night view of Colombo is not as prosperous as the big cities of our country, but it is still very good.
Colombo is a typical coastal city in Southeast Asia, with its coastal scenery, noisy night market casinos, cheerful and wild percussion, religious believers, towering skyscrapers, magnificent temple halls ~ romantic and diverse The casual atmosphere forms the unique urban charm of Colombo. Opposite the
Garefith Greenbelt Square, which is full of construction sites under construction, these are all built in China, so there are many Chinese construction workers here to take a walk. There is a project in Colombo, the locals are called Chinatown, our country is very strong, and unconditionally assisted Sri Lanka to build a lot of buildings.
city hall, it really looks like the White House. Under the illumination of the lights, the dome is magnificent.

The colonial ruins were scattered under the lush greenery. After the bay, we hit several temples in the city of Colombo, the Independence Square, and then stayed at the hotel at noon for an afternoon.
Sri Lanka's overall situation is the central plateau, the temperature is relatively low, mainly planting tea, while the seaside is plain, the average temperature is about 30 degrees, the summer will be hotter, the temperature of the capital Colombo is very moderate, the first day arrives early. There is a bit of coolness, and then the temperature can rise at noon, and it will sweat.
Sri Lanka's national flower is blue water lily, Indian national painting is lotus, so most of the flowers in the believers are lotus.

In Colombo, Sri Lanka, every day there is a dream scene in the city of the sky. The steam train roared by the moving seaside, accompanied by the looming high-rise buildings in the distance, forming a beautiful landscape.
By train, the creation of this picturesque and moving landscape, the appreciation of the distant sea, is refreshing.

Sri Lanka's famous "sea train" is the Galle to Colombo section. It is worth mentioning that the small train on the sea is only from the MOUNT LAVINIA-Colombo, which is the end of the train. Since it is not the originating station, the car is full of passengers. The Sri Lankan brother of a plug-in train saw me taking pictures and kept giving me a trailer show. The
Red Mosque is a historic mosque near the Beta Market in Colombo. It is a red and white brick building, also known as the Jami-Ul-Alfar Mosque. It was completed in 1908 and is one of the landmarks in Colombo. It is said that in the early 20th century, many sailors who went to Sri Lanka used it to identify the port of Colombo.
It is worth noting that the mosque is only open to men. Female visitors can only appreciate the beauty of this Islamic building from the door, so I only leave a little photo to commemorate this beautiful building.
Sri Lanka is a country that believes in Buddhism, and Hinduism is one of the major sects. Through the narrow streets, we came to this Indian temple, the new temple and the old temple are adjacent.
The Hindu gods are many, so the temple door is a combination of many god statues. The layers are stacked in different poses, and when you see a sculpture like a group gathering, you can basically assume that this is a Hindu temple.
