Ruwanweli Maha Seya
利利吉迪斯冠婴The pure white tower is so spectacular, it is a pure beauty when you look far away, but when you approach, the solemn and sacred look is awe-inspiring
Abhayagiri Dagoba
CcizhenThe Abhayavada Stupa is one of the attractions in the holy city. The exterior of the stupa looks like a big bell. Indeed, if you are there, you will feel that the stupa is so big and shocking. There are many believers burning incense under the stupa. They are used to walking around the stupa after burning incense. Because it is open-air and the sun is very strong, you need to take off your shoes to enter the stupa. If you really walk in barefoot, your feet will feel very hot, so it is recommended to wear socks.
Wilpattu National Park
Mmeihaorensheng88868The lake is very big, you can see a lot of wild ducks walking around the lake, the scenery here is really beautiful like oil painting!
Anuradhapura
CcizhenAnuradhapura is an ancient city. Sri Lanka is a Buddhist country, so there are many Buddhist buildings here. We took a four-hour drive from Negombo to this holy city. There are two ways to visit here. One is comfortable, you can rent a car to visit, and the other is self-abuse, rent a bicycle at the homestay to play. We chose the latter. Because you can save money, the biggest reason is that you can control your time and are not restricted by the driver. There are many pagodas in the holy city, and the pagodas are relatively close to each other. Bicycles can pass through the attractions inside. Some attractions do not allow cycling. Park the car in a special place and lock it, don't worry about someone stealing it!
Archaeological Museum, Anuradhapura
22880000016The building of the Anuradpur Archaeological Museum is an old antique. You can get a rough understanding of the local history and humanities here, and mainly understand the development of Buddhist culture in this country. Many cultural relics are about the Buddhist faith of Sri Lanka. The museum is not very big, it can be visited in about an hour.

Isurumuni Royal Temple
CCherry928First stop in Sri Lanka ~ Anuradpur. This is the oldest city in Sri Lanka, ancient Buddhism, a Bodhi tree, two pagodas, three stone carvings, and countless pools and lakes. This is the whole memory of Anuradpur! Simple, pious and peaceful
Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi
DDEAR张小球The holy Bodhi tree is a local plant with great religious significance. If we simply look at it as a tree, our understanding of religious beliefs is superficial. There is a small temple next to the Bodhi tree, but many people come to worship.
Mihintale
22880000016Michendal in the southeast of Anuradpur, is also a Buddhist temple worth visiting. It takes a certain amount of physical strength to climb from the foot of the mountain. The steps are not steep, but you can count to fall asleep. :) This was once one of the enlightenment places of Sri Lankan Buddhism. Nurtured countless Buddhists, pious worship Buddha.
Abhayagiri Museum
22880000016After visiting the Intrepid Mountain Shelita, you can use a little time to visit the Intrepid Mountain Museum next to it. The local tour guide said that it was built by the Chinese. There are not many exhibits inside, and most of them are some imitations. Some of them are specializing in the historical origins and development of foreign trade between the local and China, and China was really powerful at that time.
