Seema Malakaya, Serene Temple on floating platforms
🇱🇰
Originally constructed in the late 19th century on Beira Lake, Seema Malakaya is a part of the historic Gangaramaya Temple which is situated 200 m to its east. In 1976, the temple was redesigned and reconstructed as the original structure started to sink in the lake.
Since then, the temple sits on three floating platforms which are connected to each other and to the mainland by floating bridges. There are numerous seated Buddha statues displaying different mudras (hand gestures) on all three platforms. The central platform houses wooden paneled temple for meditation. The view of the surrounding Colombo skyline from the central platform is beautiful. A small entrance fee to the temple applies to foreigners.

This is an incredible place! At the end of the road between mangroves there is a huge klong ( a sea canal ) and if you look down you will see the floating restaurant . It is a very quiet place immersed in the nature.
There prepared delicious seafood as you order. The taste was so great. I love it.

THE FLOATING MARKET: LIFE IN THE RIVER
#2023travelwish
In this post-pandemic time, when Thailand re-opened to tourism, I renewed my passport, reserved my ticket and booked for my hotel and was "leaving on a jetplane". Destination: Bangkok. I was so excited and thrilled about our first day itinerary: DAMNOEN SADUAK a floating market which is a top attraction in Thailand. It is about 1.5 hours away located in Ratchaburi province 100 kms southwest of Bangkok. In the floating market experience, I started to understand the Thai local way of life with vendors selling fruits, souvenirs and eating food on the boat. With this I realized that "Life is hard and becoming harder;" and yet, "Life is always beautiful". I can see in the faces of the vendors their big SMILE inspite of life's difficulties. Thai people are grateful and appreciative people. It is not only about the boat nor the floating market that I witnessed but the beautiful and smiling faces of vendors survivors of pandemic covid 19! my travel wish is to go to Brunei or Cambodia. #celebratewithtrip#tripblazers#mytripvlog#foodie#urbanexplorer#summervacation#awesomepic#floating market

FLOAT in Shanghai! 💦🇸🇪
Looking to relieve stress and discover a new experience? Try a Swedish float spa in Shanghai called Floatasian!
🚖 大沽路288号5号楼2层A室, 近成都北路
🎟 ¥488/1h (but you can find deals with 247tickets)
Floatation involves lying in a salt-water solution in a
specially designed tank, which are all imported from Sweden. Both the room and the water are kept at skin temperature, which creates the feeling of floating in midair, and creating the perfect environment in which to relax, recover and meditate.
The spa is run by a foreigner and is very well organized, hygienic, and pleasant. At arrival, everything is explained to you and the you will be shown around the different kinds of tanks and rooms. Each room consists of a shower for you to use afterwards, with very nice shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. They also provide disposable earplugs.
The coolest thing about this is that you are given a waterproof headset to wear while in the tank, and you can browse through the channels and pick what you like listening to the most - nature sounds, classical music, guided meditation, etc. It really does feel like you’re completely floating in mid air!
During my experience, I chose to listen to the guided meditation and completely fell asleep after the first 15 minutes or so. At the end of the session, they wake you up with some nice, soothing opera music that starts to play inside the room. I woke up feeling truly revigorares and relaxed! 😅
After leaving the tank room, you can enjoy your time in a small dresser area they’ve prepped with brushes, hair dryers, hair ties, etc. Very well equipped and neatly maintained. You can also relax after in a living room area where there is tea and water available.
The owner recommends this around twice a week to help you with stress, sleep quality, and other health issues you may have. Definitely worth a try if you’re in Shanghai!
