Castles
霞姐爱旅行
The castle, built by the Dutch Army in 1606 and destroyed and rebuilt in 30 years of civil war, has become my scene. There are less than ten local tourists. They shyly look at the pictures I took and beg that I and the young Lankans will stay in each other's mobile phones.

A road to the city, in the sea, next to the shoal can be for elephants to carry things through, hence the name!

Temples
_cm***17
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.

Lakes
_cm***17
Kanti is Sri Lanka's second largest city, a Buddhist holy place. Kanti Lake is in the center of the city. It is a huge artificial lake dug by a rice field and is also one of the city's most famous tourist attractions. The scenery on Kanti Lake is beautiful, and there is a small island in the center, which is said to be the place where the Queen lived. The lakeside tropical flowers and trees are lush, blooming, all purple and red. Next to a lake-ring road is the Buddha Tooth Temple of Sri Lanka's national treasure temple. Kandy Lake reflects the Buddha Tooth Temple, and the Buddha Tooth Temple is dotted with Kandy Lake. The two are intersected and perfectly harmonious, forming the most beautiful scenery of Kandy Ancient City. In the distance, there are many English buildings dotted between the mountains and forests, and tourists and local residents from all over the world take a walk along the lake and enjoy the beautiful lakes and mountains.

Mannar is a northern city in Sri Lanka's northern province, adjacent to Jaffna, across the sea from India, about 20 nautical miles away, and there is a Chinese cannery on Mannar Island's Nakajima. Most of the people here are Tamils who migrated from India in the early years, who are hospitable and in a state of recuperation after 20 years of war (the Tigers), but the Sinhalese people in the south still look down on the Sinhalese because of the civil war. There are many Tamil temples here, with Hinduism, Christianity, Catholicism and so on. I attach some pictures of Tamil temples. Everyone have time to come and see and experience the South Asian style.

St. Mary's Church is a particularly beautiful Catholic church and the surroundings are also very good. People here hold weddings. Most will choose to be held here at St. Mary's Church, which is also a local landmark historical building.
