1, religious belief:

Sri lankans have a strong religious consciousness and a high religious status. When traveling to Sri Lanka, remember to respect religion and take photos with your back to the Buddha statue, which is against Sri Lankan law. In front of monks, you should sit on the floor, or choose a shorter stool to sit, and you can't sit side by side with monks. The white chairs in the waiting room are for religious people only. Even if the seats are empty, ordinary people are not allowed to occupy them.

Sri Lankans believe in the Buddhist doctrine of "no killing" and have a tradition of protecting the environment. Any act of killing animals, such as catching butterflies in the wild and killing pigeons at home, may be reported by Sri Lankans and jailed. Crows are regarded as sacred birds and mascots in Sri Lanka and cannot be harmed.

2. Cultural life:

Sri Lanka is a Buddhist country. Take off your shoes when you enter the temple. Noisy and photographing are forbidden in the temple, let alone climbing or riding on the idol. Dress neatly at the temple, don't expose it, and the length of pants should be below the knee. In Sri Lanka in South Asia, remember to do as the Romans do. Some mosques or temples refuse female tourists to visit. Please don't break in without the permission of the administrator.

Don't climb and ride on idols to play or take pictures to show respect for local beliefs;

3, social etiquette:

When greeting local people, people usually shake hands or put their hands together and smile, which is the most standard practice. In addition, be careful not to touch the child's head;

In Sri Lanka, nodding and shaking your head means the opposite of China. Nodding means no, shaking your head means yes.

Don't send flowers when giving gifts to local people. Eat and receive gifts with your right hand.
