The ancient city of Polonnaruwa is located in the northeast of Sri Lanka, 216 kilometers northeast of the capital Colombo. In 1982, the ancient city of Polonnaruwa was included in the World Heritage List as a cultural heritage. The monuments in the ancient city can be roughly divided into five areas: the palace complex, the square courtyard, the northern monument group, near the historical hotel (that is, on the bank of the reservoir), the southern monument group (on the way to the new town), and some sporadic distribution of monuments. In the ancient city, there are not only the Brahman ruins of the Koalas period, but also the remains of the mythical garden city built by Palaklama I in the twelfth century. There are ruins of ancient cities, special sacrificial altars, classic Sri Lankan pagodas, and stone Buddha statues built on the walls. A day can be spent unconsciously. History Polonnaruwa flourished for 3 centuries as the capital of the Chola and Sinhalese kingdoms. Although it has a history of nearly a thousand years, it is better preserved than Anuradhapura. In the second half of the 10th century AD, after the Chola Dynasty of South India occupied Anuradhapura, the capital Polonnaruwa was established: From a strategic point of view, the first mover should better guard against the southeastern Rahanasengga For the rebellion of the Luo Kingdom, Polonnaruwa is undoubtedly a better choice for the capital. After King Vijayabahu I expelled the Chora Dynasty from Sri Lanka in 1070, he still retained the status of the capital of Polonnaruwa. The development of Polonnaruwa reached its climax under the notification of Polara Maha I. The king built huge buildings, built beautiful parks, and the 25-square-kilometer reservoir was a famous achievement. This reservoir is so huge that people call it the Palaklama Sea. Since the current lake is the product of the combination of three old reservoirs, it may not be the same pool that Poro Rama Poha was built on. The successor of Polara Maha I, Nisan Kamara, nearly brought the country down in order to catch up with his predecessor's exploits. At the beginning of the 13th century, Polonnaruwa, like Anuradhapura, began to be frequently invaded by India. Later, like the latter, Polonnaruwa also fell, and the center of Sinhalese power shifted. to the western part of Sri Lanka.

If there is a chartered driver, it is most convenient. The driver will take each classic one by one, without worrying about it. Although the distance between these buildings is not too far, it is still impossible to walk under the hot sun. Even if we switch between the attractions, we still feel very hot and hard. If there is no car, it is recommended to rent a bicycle. Just visit in the order above the map at the entrance of the museum. It is rare to see water in the ancient city, but there are golden coconuts to buy to quench thirst. If you visit carefully, the time is about almost a day, you can bring some snacks, but don't throw the peel, the locals are very careful to protect the environment. We went just in time for the Hindus to celebrate Shiva Day at the No. 2 Shiva Temple, and both adults and children are dressed for the celebration. I invite everyone to take selfies and the locals are happy to take pictures. There are many monkeys running around in the ancient city.
It is best to rent a tutu car. The scenic spot is too big. The driver knows the way. If you ride a bicycle by yourself, it is very hot and sun-dried, and there may be wrong roads. It is uncomfortable to go the wrong way under the big sun. If you start playing in the morning, it takes more than half a day. After shopping, you can take the car directly to Lion Rock.
