    It's definitely worth the trip. The natural scenery is stunning, and the pristine feeling is fantastic! I was in high spirits after the 10-kilometer walk. Although a little tired, I was very happy. The misty mountains, gravel roads, rushing waterfalls, and clear streams along the way were all incredibly beautiful. I felt like I had completed another challenge for myself. (The photos were taken with my phone, no filters at all)

    From the Kandy train, you can really feel the magic experience from midsummer to late autumn. After the train leaves, the temperature gradually drops, and the tea garden along the way is pleasing to the eye. The train is very clean, the passengers are mainly locals, the carriage is very quiet, there are small businesses selling local snacks from time to time, the taste is actually good, the price is only 1, 2 yuan. The whole city is also very clean, and the homestay is very comfortable, that is, it is too cold at night, and I can't feel it in the country near the equator. It is recommended to play.
