What People Are Saying About Sri Lanka

Colombo National Museum

avatar
Laowai on the Loose
If you want to learn about the history of Sri Lanka this is a great place to start. The museum shows pre-historic finds and the earliest civilization of Sri Lanka as well as the Colonial era and the history or resistance to those colonial powers. As a history teacher I really enjoyed the museum.

Independence Square

avatar
khcc
It takes about 10 minutes to walk from the museum. This is a large square. It is said that it was the place where independence celebrations were held. It has good greening and is very suitable. Take a walk here at dusk.

Stilt Fisherman

avatar
Lola Coveñas
As I walked around the beaches in Sri Lanka, I was lucky enough to spot the Stilt Fishermen. Their traditional fishing technique, balancing on wooden poles above the water, was captivating to watch. It’s a unique and cultural experience that adds so much charm to the local coastal scene!

Old Town of Galle and its Fortifications

avatar
旅の径
Galle Ancient City, located on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, covers an area of ​​360,000 square meters. It is an ancient city that you must visit when visiting Sri Lanka. Walking on the thick embankment, the gentle sea breeze blows...comfortable; walking through the crisscrossing streets, the strong local customs hit you...free

Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic

avatar
Prabhashi
“The Temple of the Tooth Relic in Kandy is a sacred Buddhist site with beautiful architecture and deep cultural significance. It houses the relic of Lord Buddha’s tooth and offers a peaceful, spiritual experience. The evening prayer ceremony is a highlight. A must-visit for those interested in history and culture.”

Kandy Lake

_cm***17
Kandy is the second largest city in Sri Lanka and a holy place for Buddhism. Kandy Lake is located in the city center. It is a huge artificial lake dug from a rice field and is also one of the most famous tourist attractions in the city. The scenery on Kandy Lake is beautiful, with a small island in the center, which is said to be where the queen lived. Various tropical flowers, plants and trees are lush and green by the lake, blooming in a riot of color. Next to a road around the lake is the Temple of the Tooth Relic, a national treasure of Sri Lanka. Kandy Lake sets off the Temple of the Tooth Relic, and the Temple of the Tooth Relic is dotted with Kandy Lake. The two complement each other in perfect harmony, forming the most beautiful scenery of the ancient city of Kandy. There are many British-style buildings dotted between the mountains and forests on the distant mountains. Tourists from all over the world and local residents walk along the lake and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake and mountains.

Negombo Beach

avatar
DEAR张小球
Negombo Beach is very beautiful, the coast is very clean, but there are not many tourists, but I see many local fishermen fishing in some places. The scenery is a good place, and more importantly, the beach is also very clean with few people.

Negombo Lagoon

avatar
DEAR张小球
It was quite late when we arrived at Negombo Lagoon. I had planned to give up, but I insisted on coming to see it. I didn't expect to enjoy the beautiful sunset. It was worth the trip.

Horton Plains National Park

avatar
M22***84
Get up early and be the first to go in when it opens. You can see clouds and mist, and elk coming out to look for food. The scenery inside is great, and the hiking trails are not tiring. They are almost flat roads. Some sections are not easy to walk on rainy days.
