The Independence Memorial Hall, located in the center of Independence Square, was built to commemorate the country's independence from British colonial rule, recreated the hall where the royal family received the pilgrims during the Kandy Dynasty, highlighting the prosperity of the Kandy Dynasty. The pillars of the memorial are engraved with 28 beautiful murals depicting the history and myths of Sri Lankan Buddhism. The memorial is surrounded by 60 different and lifelike lions representing 60 kings in Sri Lanka's history. The introduction said that it was stone sculptures, but it looked like concrete. The sand that fell off the cement made the lion become "cockroach". There are hidden passages to the underground at the four corners of the memorial hall, which is distributed in 101 rooms, and houses some important archives in Sri Lanka. It is open to the public as a small museum. On the north side of the memorial stands a statue of Sennayak, leader of the Sri Lankan National Independence Movement, who was Prime Minister of the first government after independence. On May 22, 1972, the country was renamed Ceylon as the Republic of Sri Lanka. "Sri Lanka" in Sinhalese means "land of joy" or "land of light and richness", has the name "the jewel kingdom" and "the pearl on the Indian Ocean". The island of Sri Lanka is less than twice the size of Hainan Island, the population is more than twice, the GDP is1.36 times, but the per capita is less than 60% of Hainan, about the level of Hainan 5 or 6 years ago, the city appearance feels like Hainan 15 years ago.

    It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the museum. This is a lot of squares, which are said to be a place to celebrate independence. Its greening is well done and suitable. Walking here at dusk.

    This is the site of Sri Lanka's independence ceremony on February 4, 1948, to commemorate Sri Lanka's independence from British colonial rule. The memorial hall is surrounded by no walls, airy and bright, suitable for the tropical climate of South Asia.

    The Independence Memorial Hall in the center of the square was built to mimic the hall where the royal family received pilgrims during the Kandy Dynasty, and it is easy to take deep photos in the memorial hall. Surrounded by 60 stone lions symbolizing the Sinhalese, each is said to represent a king, with a statue of Sri Lanka's founding prime minister on the back.

    @🇱🇰 Sri Lanka, the venue for the Independence Memorial Hall in Colombo and Independence Square Sri Lanka, held on February 4, 1948. Walk up the memorial hall to visit the "Kandy Culture" and you will see elephants, lions and patterns depicting the history of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. Around the memorial there are 60 stone lions symbolizing the Sinhalese, each representing a king, reflecting the style of Kandy culture. The square is located on the back of the Independence Memorial, and the square echoes the memorial, which has a statue of D. Ssenyonak. This is a generation of great people in Sri Lanka, admired and respected by the local people ~
