Sri Lanka Trip: The Parliament Building of Polonnaruwa Ancient City

Palazzo della Ragione in Bolzano The Palazzo della Ragione in Bolzano was used by the emperor at the time to receive ministers, advisors, and foreign envoys. The stone lions at the entrance are a symbol of sovereignty. The council hall is built on a high stone pedestal made of huge stones. The wooden ceiling of the hall is long gone, leaving only lonely stone pillars standing there. The steps of the council hall are divided into three sections. There is a beautiful moonstone on the ground at the entrance of the first two sections, and the left and right sides of the third section are guarded by mythical beasts. The railing and the design of the mythical beasts on both sides of each step are extremely clever and perfect. There are many exquisite animal patterns carved on the stone foundation and pillars around the council hall, and the names of the ministers are also engraved on the pillars. You don't need to call out their names, just look at which pillar is missing a name to know who didn't show up...

Located in the northeastern part of Sri Lanka, Polonnaruwa is the ancient capital of Sri Lanka's second dynasty. It flourished in the 11th-13th centuries AD and was abandoned after the invasion of foreign enemies in the 14th century. It was not until the early 20th century that modern cities were established here. Most of the monuments left here are built in the 12th century. The ancient city is a large-scale building and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Polonnaruwa bus station and train station are located at Kaduruwela, four kilometers east of the ancient city, near the main road of Batticaloa. From Cologne, the bus and train are in the direction of Colombo -Batticaloa. About 6 or 7 hours.

In 1982, UNESCO listed the ancient city of Polonnaruwa as a cultural heritage on the World Heritage List. The ancient city of Polonnaruwa is located in the northeastern part of Sri Lanka, 216 km northeast of the capital Colombo. In 933 AD, Polonnaruwa became the capital of Sri Lanka. The monuments in the ancient city can be roughly divided into five areas: the palace complex, the square courtyard, the northern monuments, the historical hotel (that is, the bank of the reservoir), the southern monuments (on the way to the new town) and some sporadic monuments. . Figure 2 Sathmahal Prasada, meaning seven-level stupa looks a bit like a step pyramid, which is a rather strange building in Sri Lanka. Figure 7 is the largest in the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, and is the fourth largest pagoda in Lanca, RANKOT VIHARA, which is carved from a whole piece of Huanggang rock. The lines of different rock layers of the rock itself flow through the face and body of the Buddha, adding a mysterious vicissitudes of beauty.

The ancient city of Polonnaruwa was established in the Sinhala Dynasty at the end of the 10th century. It was the best Buddhist city in Southeast Asia in the 12th century. In the area of about 5x2 km, there are many amazing sites left. In the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, not only the Brahmin ruins of the Kaulasian period, but also the remains of the fabulous garden city built in the 12th century by Paraklama I. At the end of the 10th century, the national capital and Buddhist center Anuradhapura began to decline, and Polonnaruwa became famous for its replacement. From 1059 to 1207, along with the prosperity of Polonnaruwa, the level of architecture has reached a level of perfection. There is an artificial reservoir larger than the area of Colombo Bay - the Borogaroa Sea. You can also visit the King's Parliament Building, the Royal Castle, the Royal Pavilion, the memorial hall with moonstones and carved railings, and the finest carvings. A huge Buddha statue. In addition to the way of chartered tours, cycling is also good, the price of renting a bicycle is about 50 yuan a day.

Polonnaruwa is known as the second capital of Sri Lanka and is the seat of government from the 11th to the 13th century. Palace ruins, ancient temples, royal bathroom ruins, sacrificial round altars, people who are not familiar with the history of Ceylon, take off their shoes under the scorching sun and take off their sunglasses for a long time. It is also tiring... despite their history I don't know, but I still feel the thickness of history before those ruins, and I wondered what was happening here before the millennium. 35 degrees of high temperature surface temperature of at least seventy-eight degrees, wearing sports socks feel hot feet......

It is most convenient to have a chartered driver in Polonnaruwa, Sri Lanka. The driver will take each classic one by one, without having to worry about it. Although the distance between these buildings is not too far, it is still too much to walk if it is under the scorching sun. Even if we chartered between the attractions, it still feels very hot and very hard. If there is no car, it is recommended to rent a bicycle. Just follow the order in front of the museum entrance map. It is rare to see the sale of water in the ancient city, but there are golden coconuts that can be bought to quench your thirst. If you visit it carefully, it will take about a whole day. You can bring some snacks, but don't throw the peel. The locals pay attention to protecting the environment. When we went, we just caught up with the Hindus in the Shiva Temple on the 2nd Shiva Festival. Both adults and children are dressed in celebrations. I invite everyone to take a selfie and the locals are happy to take pictures. There are many monkeys running around in the ancient city.
