Sri Lanka Impressions.

From Chengdu in early winter, after a five-hour flight, we arrived at the green pearl island country on the Indian Ocean - Sri Lanka (Ceylon). After a short six-day trip, we felt the warm climate of the Indian Ocean, the excellent ecological green of Sri Lanka, the standardized tourism environment and good hotel facilities, the unique religious beliefs and the simple and hospitable local people, the wildlife paradise that coexists harmoniously with people, the picturesque virgin forests and beautiful coastal beaches, and the traces and long history of the ancient Ceylon country in the ancient cities and fortresses. This trip: We visited the most down-to-earth Negombo traditional fish market, saw the rough processing and drying process of large and small fish, felt the strong fishy smell of the fresh fish market and processing and drying field, and the flocks of crows and cattle egrets foraging there; we climbed the Sigiriya Rock Dynasty (Lion Rock), overlooking the surrounding virgin forests, grasslands and lakes from the top of the 200-meter-high rock, the momentum is like a rainbow, the shock is impossible to feel without being there, and the Sigiriya maidens in the cliff caves, with their bright colors and vivid shapes, are also a must-see; the 90-square-kilometer "Mijinewa National Park" is full of green grass and lakes and forests, and we took a jeep ride on the muddy trails, chasing wild elephants and watching unpredictable wildlife and birds, thrilling and exciting. We saw fifteen or sixteen elephants and wild animals such as foxes, deer, and peacocks, an experience we had never had in China; in Kandy, the second largest city in Sri Lanka, we visited the beautiful Kandy Lake and worshipped the World Heritage Site of the Temple of the Tooth, where we felt the devout worship of the believers; we visited the ancient city of Galle on the southern coast, where we visited the ancient lighthouse and ancient fortress in the famous Dutch-style castle; we took a boat tour of the mangrove ecological lake at the mouth of the Bentota River, and visited the oldest fishing method in Sri Lanka - stilt fishing; we took the sea train that never closes its doors, and experienced the mood of the little protagonist in the movie "Spirited Away"; we enjoyed two days of pleasant time at the beautiful West Coast resort hotel, with sumptuous buffet breakfasts and dinners, swimming in the pool, wading in the sea, sunset clouds, and coconut trees, which made us linger and have a great experience. The guide was a local friend who could speak Chinese, with enthusiastic service, excellent business and driving skills, and the hotels we stayed in were all good experiences. In short, it was a very satisfying and cost-effective trip. Because, I have the urge to go again...
