Kandy - Jaffna Hwy, Dambulla, Sri Lanka 🚗Traffic strategy: It is still recommended to charter a car for traveling in Sri Lanka. The distance between scenic spots is too far. Chartered car tour around the island is the best choice. ❤️ Recommended reason: In 1991, the Golden Temple of Dambulla was approved by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee as a cultural heritage and included in the "World Heritage List". 🌟🌟 Attraction features: ✅Dambulla Golden Temple is a Buddhist temple in Sri Lanka, built in the 1st century BC, it is the largest and most complete cave temple complex in Sri Lanka. ✅This is a typical cave-style temple in Sri Lanka, located on the slope of a rocky mountain; the temple is carved from the rock, and there are various stone Buddha statues and other carvings in the temple, as well as murals all over the place, showing the charm of Buddhist art . ⏰Opening hours: 07:30-18:00 Best tourist season: September to October Suggested tour time: about 2 hours 💰Tickets: 1500Rs/person, buy tickets on the left side of the museum at the foot of the mountain, and check in at the mountain. 📌Notes: 1️⃣You need to take off your shoes when entering the Dambulla Golden Temple to show respect for the Buddha. 2️⃣Short skirts and shorts are not allowed, there is a sarong at the door 3️⃣Be very careful when taking photos of Buddha statues in Sri Lanka, especially when taking photos with Buddha statues, you must not turn your back to the Buddha statues, which is illegal in the local area. If you really want to take a photo with the Buddha statue, you can face the Buddha statue and take a very pious photo. 4️⃣Try not to turn over your bag in front of monkeys, some monkeys will think you have something to eat and attack you.
