Urban Beach 🏖️

#beachvacation Although I grew up in a province surrounded by Indian ocean 🌊 on two sides with the second longest shore in the world 🌍, there's always one hesitation in going to the beach 🏖️ which is getting into the beach clothes 😁 As I ain't someone with such nice beach body, going to this urban beach during my Sri Lanka visit was totally worth it. You may still get down to the 🪨 rocky places and have fun there in the water though. Resonating with the common beach ⛱️ scenes in the south east Asia, there are lot of small shops setup in van 🚚 with nice delicacies to enjoy 🍦 I'd also applaud the effort in making this place very neat and decent for families to enjoy!! #tripblazers#urbanexplorer#ukcreator #colombo

An unforgettable year 🇱🇰 🇯🇵 🇻🇳

Thank you 2022 for an incredible year! 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka (February-March) This was my first time exploring this incredible country. From the busy streets of Colombo to picturesque train journeys through the tranquil mountains around Ella, from the unique food culture in Jaffna to coconuts on the beaches in Unawatuna, Sri Lanka really has it all. 🇯🇵 Japan (April-) In April (a year delayed thanks to covid), I finally achieved my dream of moving to Japan. After a few days enjoying the cherry blossoms in Tokyo, I traveled south to my new home near Kyoto. These past nine months I've explored all around Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and nearby - with trips further afield planned for 2023! 🇻🇳 Vietnam (September) In September, I took a week's holiday to visit Vietnam. Hanoi was an incredible insight into the culture of this country, while Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh were unmissible opportunities to enjoy the amazing scenery. I ended my trip in Ho Chi Minh City, learning about the history of Vietnam. I'll definitely be back again, particularly to explore central Vietnam's famous culture, sights and nature! #japan #vietnam #srilanka #CelebrateWithTrip #passionpassport #memories

Before sunset going down, local people will come out to the beach and gathering, having small talks to each others, playing football, swimming.

You must take a train ride in Sri Lanka at least once | The little train on the sea

You must take a train ride in Sri Lanka at least once | The little train on the sea

| The little train on the sea.🇱🇰 Finally came to Sri Lanka to see the little train on the sea! Hanging on the train, blowing the Indian Ocean breeze, super comfortable. We rented a car in Sri Lanka and traveled counterclockwise, first to the Bentota Turtle Hatchery, then to the Buddhist holy site recommended by the driver, and finally the best experience on the little train, the whole day's itinerary was amazing💡 🐢 Bentota Turtle Hatchery: 🎫 The entrance fee is 2000 rupees per person, and there were no other tourists when we entered. The staff were enthusiastic in introducing us to the hatching times of the turtles, the species of turtles, and let us touch and take photos with the turtles. I think this place is quite recommendable, both the little turtles and the big turtles are very cute, and you can have close contact with them. There are many turtle hatcheries in Sri Lanka, but be careful to choose the right place, 2000 rupees is the normal price, if they ask for dollars, forget it! 🙏 Kande Vihara Temple: A local temple recommended by our driver, it's very large and sacred, and the big Buddha is still under construction. The visitors here are all locals, who are very enthusiastic and greet Chinese people with smiles. 🚞 The little train on the sea: There are fast trains and slow trains. If you want to take photos, you definitely need to take the slow train. We had the driver buy the tickets for us directly. If you buy the tickets yourself, you might get confused with the stations and types of trains, so it's best to have the driver buy them. The route we took was not the most classic, and there were relatively few seasides along the way, so if you want to take a train, take the route from Galle to Colombo. Overall, playing in Sri Lanka is very joyful, and I hope more people can visit such a beautiful place.
