Things to Do in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is a tropical island country, lying in the Indian Ocean, with the reputation of "a pearl in the Indian Ocean". The charm of this wonderland derives from picturesque natural scenery and attractive human landscapes. Visitors can appreciate the western-style constructions due to British, Portuguese, and Dutch rule in history, temples thanks to different religions and beliefs, various flora and fauna on the vast plains, as well as unique stilt fisherman on the tranquil and appealing beaches. The comprehensive railway network nowadays offers people a more proper choice to enjoy the beautiful scenery down the coast and tea gardens.

Sri Lanka is a country where most people believe in Buddhism. In this aspect, it is essential to respect and not kill animals, particularly crows. Try to have their taboos in mind before visiting temples - keep quiet, take photos after permission, do not touch the Buddharupa and do not use the left hand during the communication. In addition, local people focus on the environment protection, so the environmental awareness is necessary.

Sri Lanka was the colony of Portugal and the Netherlands respectively in the 15th century, and was ruled by the British in the 17th century. It is still a member of the Common Wealth after its independence. This history adds special charm to the local cultural relics - many historic constructions have the colonial marks of the Netherlands or Britain, such as Kandy National Museum, National Museum, Galle Fort and Colombo Muncipal Council.
