A wonderful time in Kandy, Sri Lanka😍🥰
This is Kandy, Sri Lanka
Had a lovely stay at a brand new hotel The Trees, walked all around the city and lake, visited the Buddhist Temple of the Tooth, and soaked up time at the rooftop pool. Ended the day making new friends from London at Hideout Lounge and riding in my first Tuk Tuk! Beautiful and well maintained park definitely justified the ticket price. Worth a visit account at least 2 hours, could easily bring in some food (or buy some at the park cafe) and spend a whole day.

Journey to Sri Lanka ~ Nuwara Eliya
November 22, Kandy - Nuwara Eliya
Our hotel is halfway up the mountain, about ten minutes walk down from the hotel you can reach Kandy Lake, it is said that Kandy Lake is a huge artificial lake dug from a paddy field, there are many beautiful legends about Kandy Lake, these legends add a lot of mystery to this beautiful lake.
One of my favorite things to do during my trip is to stroll around in the early morning, so today's goal is to go around Kandy Lake counterclockwise, the scenery of Kandy Lake is beautiful, the lake is full of various tropical flowers and trees, crows, monkeys, lizards and other animals can be seen everywhere. The famous Temple of the Tooth is located next to Kandy Lake, Kandy Lake sets off the Temple of the Tooth, and the Temple of the Tooth embellishes Kandy Lake, the two complement each other, perfect harmony, forming the most beautiful landscape of Kandy ancient city. There are so many people on the shore of Kandy Lake in the morning, there are students with school bags, newlyweds taking wedding photos, hurried travelers and leisurely tourists like us.
Today's itinerary: Kandy University, Mountain Tea Garden, Pink Post Office
First stop: Kandy University
Kandy University has no walls, it is completely open, even the railway passes through the middle of the campus. Walking in the campus, the ancient trees are towering, the buildings are elegant, the youthful students passing by, all give people a beautiful enjoyment. What attracts us most is a huge thousand-year-old banyan tree, with twisted roots and winding branches, it is spectacular, we took many photos around it, of course, no matter how we take photos, we can't capture its full view, we have been marveling at the magic of this tree all the way, wondering how many years it has been growing to be like this? How many meters does it root to be so strong, to support its huge trunk? Trees are really amazing. Continue to stroll around casually, like this campus like a botanical garden, sitting in an open-air theater similar to Roman style, enjoying the fun of being a student.
Second stop: Nuwara Eliya Mountain Tea Garden
The misty mountain tea garden DAMRO TEA, known as the first tea garden in Sri Lanka, is planted with tea on the rolling hills. The visit to the tea garden is free, the staff of the tea factory will take you to visit the tea making process and give a detailed explanation, our guide can actually speak Chinese, although the tone is a bit like singing, but the pronunciation is clear, we all understand. After visiting the factory and returning to the hall, we found a table near the window and started to slowly taste the authentic free Ceylon black tea. The perfect dessert cake to go with the black tea is chargeable, of course, the price is not expensive.
Third stop: Pink Post Office
The Pink Post Office, built in 1894, has a clock tower on the roof. Because the exterior wall of the building is made of red bricks, plus the white mud between the bricks, it looks pink from a distance, so it is called the Pink Post Office. Now the post office is newly painted, in addition to the function of the post office itself, it has become a popular tourist spot in Sri Lanka, a place where many tourists to Sri Lanka check in.
Nuwara Eliya is a very flavorful British town, there are still many British buildings preserved here, unfortunately, it has been raining when we arrived, we did not have time to stroll around this town.
Stay at Fir Hotel in the evening, a British-style hotel located near the mountain tea garden, the yard is very beautiful, like it.

Trip to Sri Lanka ~ Kandy
November 21, Sigiriya-Kandy
Last night's heavy rain prevented us from going out, and we had our dinner in the hotel. We waited for about an hour before the food was served. I quite like this slow pace, it seems that we haven't slowed down to enjoy the present for a long time. Here, you can temporarily escape from the fast-paced life, slow down, see the scenery you have never seen before, and experience the local customs you have never experienced before.
The next morning, after the rain, the air was particularly fresh. We strolled around the hotel and unexpectedly saw wild peacocks. Such unexpected encounters during the trip are also very happy......
Today's itinerary: The Buddha Temple, the most central landmark of Ceylon, the Tooth Relic Temple, and Kandy City
First stop: The Buddha Temple, the most central landmark of Ceylon
Naranda, 20 kilometers south of Dambulla, is a very interesting place because there is a Buddha temple that is known as the most central landmark of Ceylon. It was surprising that we knew this was the center point more than 1,000 years ago without aerial photography and accurate maps, even though the location is said to be slightly off. The special thing about this Buddha temple is that it is a Hindu-style building but used as a Buddhist temple.
Because of its remote location, there are almost no tourists here, it is very quiet, it is equivalent to a private tour, it feels very good. The leader said that he also discovered this place by a very accidental chance.
Second stop: Tooth Relic Temple
The Tooth Relic Temple is the most famous Buddhist temple in Sri Lanka. It is located on the bank of Kandy Lake and was built in 1595. It is famous for enshrining the tooth relics of Sakyamuni, the national treasure of Sri Lanka. The main entrance is at the west gate, surrounded by a protective river. The temple is built on a platform about 6 meters high, divided into two floors, with complex structures, mainly including the Buddha Hall, Drum Hall, Long Hall, Chanting Hall, Treasure House, Inner Hall, etc. The most important building is the central hall, the ceiling of the hall is full of murals and gold ornaments. The Buddha's tooth is enshrined in the inner hall on the second floor, which is the core of the temple. The dark room on the left of the hall is the place to place the Buddha's tooth. There is a seven-story gold tower in the dark room, and there are seven small gold towers in the gold tower, one covering one. Of course, we only saw the pictures, the real Buddha's tooth is invisible.
In fact, the temple itself is not very beautiful from the perspective of viewing, but for the locals, this is their pilgrimage site, and for tourists like me, it is one of the must-visit places.
When going to the Tooth Relic Temple, you must dress decently, all those who enter the temple must take off their shoes, but you can wear socks to enter, be prepared for the hot weather, the floor tiles in the temple are very hot by the sun.
Third stop: Kandy City
Because it was still early, the leader asked us if we wanted to stroll around Kandy City, and we all agreed. Kandy City is not big, it is estimated that it can be finished in 1-2 hours. If you are tired, you can find a juice shop on the street, and then have a cup of super pure fresh juice, so satisfied......
Stay at Kandy hills in the evening, the hotel is located halfway up the mountain, the scenery is unique, about a ten-minute walk to Kandy Lake.

When the golden door opens, you can see the golden splendor in the room. And I can't wait for the body to be physically fit. With the gentle music, as the crowd visits the entire temple, I admire the various carved Buddha statues and ornaments, and also lament the power of faith!

3 times in the morning, in the middle and in the evening. In the shocking drum music, 3 sorghums, holding 3 different door keys to open the inner door, enter the inner hall and hold a grand worship ceremony. After the ceremony, the inner hall arches will be opened, allowing believers and tourists to pay tribute to the Buddha's Tooth Tower from the Buddha's Tooth.
But in general, the relics are placed in the box. The altar is 3 meters away from the doorway that the visitor can reach. The time for each person to stay in front of this holy room is very limited, so it is hopeless. and.

The entire main hall is actually a double-decker corridor structure, and the middle patio part is a two-story structure of a whole wooden structure for storing the relics. Visitors and worshippers can only pray from the outer corridor to the second floor, in the direction of the relics through the gorgeous window of gold silk. I can only see this golden window. Every day at sunrise, before noon and at dusk, three times, there will be three masters who will open the inner hall and lead the believers to the Buddha ceremony, but they can only see the internal stupa. Can not directly relish the true face of the child.
In front of the gold cabinet for the relic, there is a flower offering ceremony full of more than ten meters. The lotus is intoxicating step by step, and the sandalwood is calm and meditation everywhere. The believers pray for the Buddha through the flowers. Seek the Buddha to show the direction of the move and guide yourself out of the inner confusion.
Unlike other monotheisms, the Buddhist beliefs of the millennium have their own unique features. The Buddha is not a god. It is not the existence of the boundless mana to resolve the hardships. It is the sensation of the world, and the enlightenment of the latecomers with wisdom. Enlighten the heart. The so-called ritual Buddha, it is not a blessing, it is a discovery.

This is dedicated to the Buddha Tooth Relic of the Buddha Tooth Relic, and it deserves to be the center of gravity of the capital.

In the middle of Sri Lanka, there is a ancient city of Kandy surrounded by mountains.
The birthplace of Buddhism India gradually evolved into Hinduism in the third century or so. Some radical Hindus even want to destroy Sakyamuni's relics. A beautiful Indian princess hid the Buddha Tooth Relic in the bun, riding an elephant to bring the Buddha tooth relic to Sri Lanka. In order to escape the war, the Buddha Tooth Relic was constantly transferred and hidden. The Emperor Kangdi was appointed to Kangti in 1592. A temple was built beside the Kandy Lake and next to the Royal Palace to house the most important Buddhist sacred object in Sri Lanka - Buddha Sakyamuni Nie's tooth relic.

After buying Shali and walking on the road, I will definitely hear the praise that is endless. Take a photo at the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple!
The Buddha Temple is not tall and its appearance is white, just like the white lotus on the shore of Kandy Lake. Neri was named after the Sakyamuni tooth relic, and the incense was strong. When entering a Buddhist temple, separate examinations are required for men and women. Visitors are required to take off their shoes and wear clothes covering their arms and knees. After walking a small road, you will reach the monastery. There are two floors above and below. The entrance to the main hall and the ceiling are painted. Many believers worshipped and worshipped the Buddha's Tooth Tower on the second floor of the Buddha's Tooth. There were many lotuses in front and they needed to put their hands together.

Buddha Tooth Relic Temple is the center of Sri Lankan Buddhism and the most important sacred place of worship. The major ceremonies of the annual Buddha Tooth Festival are held here. For the tourists who are singular, the Buddha's tooth festival is just a grand carnival. However, regarding the origin of the Buddha's tooth festival, the history of Lanka is not clearly recorded. It is said that it is an extension of the rain-seeking ritual, and it is also said that the king of the 2nd century AD dedicated to the temple of the goddess. Either way, as Buddhisms political status in Lanka gradually builds up, the Buddhas relics are becoming more and more important, so that the Sinhalese people think that whoever has Buddha teeth is the heir to the throne. Therefore, the annual Buddha Tooth Festival ceremony is actually the way the king shows the kingship to his subjects. Perhaps this is a very important reason why the tradition of the Buddha Tooth Festival has been passed down.

In Sri Lanka, nothing is more suitable for a trip to Ceylon than a saree.
The skin is thickly dressed in blingbling sari, wandering around Kandy, passing through the botanical garden, walking through Kandy Lake, entering the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, and rushing to feel the friendly smile in the crowd. If time permits, I hope that I can be as slow as a Lanca, slower down... simpler, simpler...

The holy city of Kandy, the holy place of Buddhism, the devout home.
From the stone railings of Kandy Lake to the temple of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, the turn of the stone is a rough texture of history.
The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, which is dedicated to the world's precious Buddha Tooth Relic, is still the beacon of pilgrims. They went here to seek comfort and get relaxed. Although the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple is a pilgrimage site for us, any tourist can't help but want to go to the local customs and feel the daily beliefs of the local people. The promenade in the
temple is built on the temple and has some breath of meditation. The story of
has been circulated in several versions, but each version to the end reflects the difficulty of the Buddha tooth. The monks who built them in the past did not think that these strict restricted areas would one day become attractions. Today, in the face of this long-cherished wish that others have exhausted their lifes savings and time, they cant bow their heads.

One is here, and the world is also here. An important place for Buddhism, the other two are in Xi'an, China.

Now in many Sri Lankan places, you can see the reliefs or portraits that describe this event. The couples statue is also in front of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. There is also a statue of a child in front of the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple. The image of this child is called Yulian of Sri Lanka. At that time he was a child of a soldier. The country is facing Indias aggression. In order to encourage his own brother to fight against the aggressor. The child rushed to the invaders.
