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 Lion Rock in the ancient city of Sigiria is a treasure in Sri Lanka's ancient religious and cultural treasure house, but if you want to really appreciate the Lion Rock, you have to climb Pidurangala Rock on the opposite side; 2.Half an hour to an hour's mountain road, which is very difficult to walk, and the climbers need better physical qualities; 3. The rock top has a wide view, excellent scenery and a large area of open space for rest and picnic; 4. Tickets for foreign tourists are as follows: 500 rupees, about 20, and free sightseeing for the people of Sri Lanka.

This is a nature reserve that knows a lot of plants, and the elderly care here in the photo is 25 years old. He took us to see a lot of plants with different medicinal functions. If there is time, it is worth a walk.

渭南松赞干布
The library is located at the southernmost end of the ancient city of Polonnaruva, adjacent to the statue of Poloromobocho I. It is a wall thick and hollow, similar to the building of Shelita, which is considered to be a Tibetan pavilion for the storage of holy books. It is actually a circular temple, with four smaller solid round towers at four corners around the central dome, forming a rectangular Sinhalese plum five-point arrangement.
