Niganbu
There is only one international airport in Sri Lanka, Bandaranaike International Airport. After getting off the plane, most people will choose to take a 40-minute bus to the capital Colombo. Arun Jun even recommended that you take a bus to Nigambu, which is only a few minutes' drive from the airport, and it only takes a long ride.
In Sri Lanka, heritagehotels is the most famous five-star hotel in Sri Lanka, with only four hotels, including NegambuHeritageHotel, Kandara Horse HeritageHotel, Tea Factory Heritage Hotel and Ahongala Heritage Hotel.
Negombo Heritage Hotel is located at the seaside of Negombo. Hotel rooms are all invincible sea view rooms. Each room has oversized floor-to-ceiling glass windows, allowing you to feel the stormy waves of the Indian Ocean face to face. As soon as you enter the door, you can see the white beach with coconut groves standing on both sides, which is the best meeting ceremony in Sri Lanka ~
After a night's rest in the hotel, you can go to the fish market in Nyambu. A large number of fishing boats can be seen returning to the fish market every morning. Fishermen returned to Hong Kong with rich seafood, such as tuna, grouper, blue crab and squid.
Just spend tens of RMB to enjoy a big meal, buy some favorite seafood and take it back to the restaurant in town for processing, and you can have a nice meal ~
After eating and drinking enough, you can go to Nyanbu's classic buildings, such as Hitka, St. Mary's Church, St. Battien's Church and so on. The church is very beautiful, with beige walls and neat church tables and chairs, which is very suitable for taking pictures.
Shizishan elephant orphanage
The online celebrity attraction on ins, PinavilaElephant Orphanage in Sri Lanka, is one of the two elephant orphanages in the world at present, which takes in young elephants who have fallen into a trap and been seriously injured, lost their way in the group and got sick due to war injuries.
Here, visitors can get in close contact with elephants, feed them, and watch hordes of elephants rush to the river to take a bath.
Lion Mountain, known as eight wonders of the world, was once the palace of Moliere dynasty. After thousands of years, it has weathered most of it, but the light from the existing ruins is amazing. If you have enough time, visit the museum in Qianmen before climbing Lion Mountain. Learn about the past lives of Lion Mountain. Hiring a local tour guide who can speak fluent Chinese at the ticket window will make your trip to Lion Rock more authentic. Remember that the best time to visit Lion Mountain is after 3 pm. When the sun starts to set and the afterglow sets, the photos will not be overexposed. It is unforgettable to watch the sunset from the top of Lion Mountain.
If you live near Lion Mountain that night, you can choose the water garden hotel "watergarensigiriya" in Sigiriya.
The hotel is located in a lush forest overlooking Lion Mountain not far away, and it is very convenient to walk 10 minutes to Lion Mountain. Most people book this hotel just because they can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lion Mountain.
Buddhist relics
Sri Lanka is a place rich in Buddhist culture, with many Buddhist sites. Among them, the ancient Danbule Grottoes is one of them. As early as 1 century, people dug a big pit in the rocks on the hillside, built temples in it, carved Buddha statues and hung ornaments on the walls. The murals in Danbule Grottoes are 2 100 square meters, and there are more than 50 statues/kloc-0, which is very shocking!
Another Buddhist shrine, the Buddha's Tooth Temple on Lake Kandy, is said to be a must-visit shrine for Buddhist believers, which enshrines Buddha's Tooth Relic.
It should be noted that if you want to enter the tour, you need to go through strict security checks. Men and women should enter separately. You must take off your shoes and cover your arms and knees with clothes, otherwise you can't get in.
Xi an LAN Hua cha Jing
The world-famous Ceylon black tea is produced in a small mountain city in Elie, Nuvo Province. It is cool all year round, and most Europeans like to come here for winter.
Visiting the tea garden is free, and the staff of the tea factory will explain the tea-making process to you, and finally taste a cup of freshly baked Ceylon black tea ~
Stay at Ceylon Tea Trail Manor Hotel, which is located in the Elie Plateau area of Nuwo, surrounded by trees. The hotel is transformed from five colonial tea gardens, and each villa is equipped with a housekeeper, a chef and 4-6 footmen, enjoying aristocratic treatment.
Think about it carefully, wake up in the morning with birds and flowers, press the call bell and wait for the housekeeper to deliver a special breakfast. If you like to relax, the housekeeper will arrange for the staff to show you around the ruins of the tea garden, or enjoy a spa by the solarium. If you like adventure, you can go to the lush tea garden alone and explore the ancient art of tea garden.
Yala national park
Yala National Park, also known as Little Africa, is the only place in Asia where wildlife parks can be held. It is famous for many rare and distinctive animals, among which the probability of seeing a leopard is theoretically greater than that of Africa.
There are cheetahs, elephants, lazy bears, deer, monkeys, peacocks, crocodiles and other wild animals in the national park, as well as hundreds of kinds of birds. It has rivers, lakes, swamps and jungles waiting for map boards. You can imagine how many kinds of animals you can meet. It's better to go to the national park by jeep early in the morning ~
It is best to stay at the Wild Cast Tended Lodge Beach Wild Hotel at night, next to Yala Park. The hotel is wrapped in jungle, not far from the beach and the turbulent Indian Ocean, which looks dreamy, while the appearance of the hotel is a pure white cocoon, crawling among the trees, really far away from the noise and going deep into nature.
PS: Wild Coast Tent Hotel is also a boutique hotel in Luolai, Xia Duo.
Whale watching in Mesa
Sri Lanka is the best place to watch blue whales in Asia! Among them, Melissa's whale watching spot is most suitable for going to sea from June 5438+00 to April of the following year. The weather is comfortable, the air is cool, and the probability of seeing whales is as high as 98%! In addition to blue whales, there are also opportunities to see sperm whales and whale sharks, as well as groups of dolphins.
It's better to go to Marisa and watch whales at sea ~
The whale watching tour takes about 4 hours. When you come back, you can walk along the beach. On most coasts, there are upright wooden sticks. Sometimes fishermen can be seen climbing up and sitting with fishing rods. On average, fish are hooked every minute. You should know that their hooks have no bait! If you find it interesting, you might as well spend tens of rupees as a tip to make you feel ordinary and experience the most primitive fishing skills in Sri Lanka ~
Besides, Leo's birthday place was shot with stilt stakes. It can be said that it is the same paragraph.
Stay at Cape Weligama Hotel in the evening. Located on the edge of a cliff, the hotel enjoys the warmest sea breeze in the Indian Ocean. It is also the only cliff hotel in Sri Lanka. Definitely worth staying in!
The hotel is a tile-roofed holiday cottage, hidden at the top of the cliff, overlooking the magnificent beauty of the Indian Ocean from any angle.
Galle
The Indian Ocean has no end, but there is the ancient city of Galle. This world heritage is called the most beautiful coastal city in Sri Lanka. Galle has an ancient Dutch colonial city, well-preserved castles and towering lighthouses. It looks good to take pictures from any angle.
Stay at Galle Lighthouse Hotel in the evening, designed by GeoffreyBawwa, a national treasure designer in Sri Lanka. The whole hotel is a typical Dutch castle style, located on the edge of the reef by the sea, where you can clearly hear the sound of Indian Ocean waves hitting the reef.
The next day, I took a small train from Galle to Colombo, the capital. The small train is called Spirited Away, and the railways are all built along the coast. The nearest railway track is less than 2 meters from the coast, as if it were really sailing at sea.
In this way, from a fairy-tale seaside town to a bustling city ~
The capital Colombo
As the capital of Sri Lanka, Colombo's urban architecture is still prosperous. Since it's the last stop, buying in buybuy is the last word. Although there are no outlets and luxury stores in Colombo, when you buy something worth 10,000 yuan, you will not be soft-hearted. I can't help laughing at the thought of changing to RMB ~
In addition, Arun Jun recommended eating crabs in downtown Colombo, a seafood restaurant called MinistryofCrab, which was once rated as the 25th restaurant in top50 in Asia. Crabs are guaranteed to be caught now, curry crabs, halal crabs, fried crabs with Chili peppers, etc. It is delicious.
Among them, King Crab and Tiger Head Shrimp are very famous, and each one is less than 300 yuan, so it is worth punching in.
Finally, return. This trip basically covers all the mainstream scenic spots in Sri Lanka and lasts about 10 days. Of course, if the holiday is limited, only four or seven days, you need to consider giving up several scenic spots. Similarly, you can enjoy Sri Lanka ~
