Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 must-visit attraction - Lion Rock

Lion Rock 🌸Lion Rock, one of the eight wonders of the world, is an aerial palace built on a giant orange-red rock, attracting people from all over the world every day to explore its mysterious veil. 📍Detailed address: Sri Lanka, Matale District, Dambulla Town. Sigiriya, Sri Lanka Lion Rock 🚗Transportation guide: ✅It takes about five hours by car from Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, to Lion Rock. Currently, there are only two highways in Lanka, and one is under construction, so even if the distance is not too far, the travel time is still long (no highway). ✅There are long-distance buses from Danbulla to Lion Rock, generally starting from 7:00, with one bus every 30 minutes and a journey time of about 45 minutes. The last bus back to Danbulla departs around 19:00, please confirm in advance. ✅You can also take a Tuk-tuk from Dambulla to Lion Rock, which takes about 30 minutes and costs about 600 rupees. Please negotiate the price in advance. 🌈Highlight features: 🌟Lion Rock is located in the city of Sigiriya, Sri Lanka. The lush green trees and deep brown ancient buildings make this place full of mystery. 🌟The natural environment here is quiet and peaceful, with lush trees and clear bird songs, as if walking into a fairy tale story of the green wilderness. 🌟Lion's Paw Platform is a great place for taking photos, where friends from all over the world check in. 🌟I didn't make it to the top of the cliff. When I was looking at the murals in the iron cage before, I almost lost my life. My fear of heights had already made my legs weak. This is also a regret of my trip to Lanka. ⏳Playtime: recommended in the morning, beware of ☀️sunburn at noon 🕙Opening hours: 7:00 to 17:30 (ticket sales stop at 17:00) 💰Ticket price: $30, children under 1.2 meters are half price and free. 📌📝Attention tips: 1️⃣At Lion Rock, there will be many "kind-hearted people" who are particularly enthusiastic about coming to help you. All these kind-hearted people charge a fee, so as soon as you enter Lion Rock, there will be many little black people who come to chat with you enthusiastically. You can choose to ignore them directly, of course, if you don't mind giving a little tip (about 2,000 rupees), you can let them help you up. The way up is still quite scary for acrophobics. 2️⃣Ladies are advised not to wear skirts as the mountain climbing along the way is steep and skirts may easily expose. It is also recommended not to wear flip-flops as there are many steps to climb, some of which are quite steep. 3️⃣Sunscreen and mosquito repellent must be prepared in advance. In addition to the strong sunlight, there are still many mosquitoes 🦟 in Langkawi! 4️⃣Before entering the scenic area, there will be a bag inspection. They will tear off the paper label on the mineral water to avoid bringing garbage into the scenic area. They are particularly good at protecting this world heritage site! 4️⃣Bring water, definitely bring water. There's no water for sale at Lion Rock, and climbing the mountain is tiring and can make you thirsty. Bring some water just in case. Lion Rock
