One of the projects worth visiting in Sri Lanka, visit wild elephants. Everyone will take a local dedicated jeep. Then cross the jungle of the protected area to find elephants. You can see interesting Asian elephants here. It is worth it.

旅の径
World Heritage Site - Danbul Grottoes is the largest and most famous and well-preserved cave temple in Sri Lanka. A small half-day tour of the grottoes is arranged, and the impression of 4 o'clock is still fresh. 1. The ancient caves. Danbuler Grottoes were built in 89 BC (one said 1-2 century AD), earlier than the Mogao Grottoes built in 366 AD in China. After more than 1,000 years of unremitting efforts, 5 caves and caves were formed between the rock walls of the boulders (186 meters high). 2. Like the beauty. The 2100 square meters mural and 157 Buddha statues in the grotto are all the treasures of Buddhist art. The most beautiful murals. The Buddha statues in the grotto No. 2 - Dawang Grottoes are made from the top and the walls of the caves. The most beautiful statues. Grottoes No. 1 - The 14-meter-long reclining Buddha in Tianwang Grottoes is huge, peaceful and line-by-line. 3. Fun of monkeys. From the foot of the mountain to the grotto, it takes more than 20 minutes to walk on the mountain road with more than 400 steps. Along the way, the view is wide, the air is fresh, and the monkeys can be seen in groups, or play, or play, or exercise. The locals told: store shoes, not to prevent people from stealing, but to prevent monkeys from grabbing. 4. Feet pain. Take off your shoes and you can enter the hole to show piety. Hot sand, lame stones, footboards hurt so much... Nobody ever reminded to wear thick socks.

Polonnaruwa is a world heritage site, especially the Royal Palace. Among them, Vatadage, really amazing, is actually an ancient building complex, of which Vatadage (ring stone house, also known as quadrangle courtyard or round Buddha house), the sculpting of the stalwart and the moonstone are very exquisite, the moonstone here is different from Anuradhapura, where different animals cross in the same circle, This is a circle of animals, and we laymen can only see these shallow differences. The guardstone is separated on both sides of the steps to defend the Buddha statue.

The Temple of Buddha Tooth in Kandy, Sri Lanka, was listed on the World Heritage List in 1998. The Temple is located on the beautiful Lake Kandy in the center of the holy city of Kandy. The temple holds the treasure of Sri Lanka's town and country, one of the only two spiritual teeth left by Buddha Sakyamuni. Walking in the Buddhist temple, white dress white men and women sitting on the table, reciting scriptures; The orange-clad monks walked by, the dark skin against the white walls...the lingering cigarettes, the solemn bells and drums, the pure eyes, the solemn atmosphere, let your heart slowly become calm and peaceful. The inner temple is divided into two floors, the lower floor of the Buddha Hall, the golden glory. The upper temple is supported by many Hindu pillars, and the temple is hung with Buddhist flags, consisting of blue, yellow, red, white, orange and the first five colors of mixed colors, which are six colors released by the Holy Body when the Buddha was made into Tao. Follow the stairs to the second floor to the dark room where the Buddha's teeth are placed. The table in front of the door is filled with various lotus flowers provided by the believers. The lotus is the national flower of Sri Lanka, and locals usually come to the temple with lotus flowers. The Buddha's teeth are stored in the seven-story golden pagoda. This year, the Buddha Dental Festival celebrations began on August 17 and lasted until August 31. Elephants carrying the Buddha Dental "Sheli Tower", from Kandy Buddha Dental Temple, cruised the city to let the people enjoy the glory of Buddha Dental. On the Buddha's teeth festival, from nose to foot are decorated with exquisite edging fabric, the most gorgeous and domineering leader elephant back is loaded with huge Huali, Huali is the much-anticipated collection of Buddha teeth Sheli dumplings. Buddha was cremated in the Mallas area in 543 BC, and the local officials in northern India shared the Buddha's Sheri. The son-in-law and daughter of King GUHASIVA in the 4th century AD secretly brought to Sri Lanka to give to the King of Ceylon in a hair knot. It was worshipped by the temple, originally built by King Vimalada, and now built during the reign of King Kritisriya Siha. Another Buddha tooth is the Buddha Tooth Tower of Lingguang Temple in the eight major places in Beijing.

Lankatiraq Buddha Temple is a special attraction in the ancient city, very distinctive. The building is very majestic and tall. Although it is broken in Sri Lanka's attractions, it is absolutely magnificent and recommended!
