Anuradhapura

Anuradhapura✨, it's like a treasure hidden deep in the annals of Sri Lanka's history, with every corner etched with stories. ✨Anuradhapura is truly ancient! It dates back to the 5th century BC and has been the capital of Sri Lanka for a thousand years, from 380 BC onwards. • Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi Tree🌳: This tree is truly remarkable! It's over 2,600 years old and is the oldest known human-planted tree in the world with a known planting date👏. • Ruwanwelisaya Stupa🗼: This stupa is an architectural marvel! Also known as the Great Stupa, it originally stood at 110 meters tall with a base diameter of 96 meters, towering into the clouds. Standing at its foot and looking up, the feeling of awe is truly indescribable. • Thuparamaya Stupa👀: Although its current height is only 70 meters, it still exudes grandeur. With a base diameter of 112 meters, the statues on its front are exquisitely carved, and the reliefs on the stone pillars are delicate and lifelike, with every detail telling tales of its former glory. #Anuradhapura #SriLankaTravel #CulturalHeritageJourney #SriLanka #WorldHeritageSite #Travel#trip diary#travel guide#Sri lanka diary
