Do these 13 things before leaving Sri Lanka

💕Take a ride on the coastal train This is my top-ranked experience in Sri Lanka. Sticking your body out of the train door and letting the sea breeze blow is an unforgettable sense of freedom. A must-do!😊😊 Wander around Negombo Fish🐟🐟 Market The fish market is by the sea. There are not only fish here, but also cats and seabirds joining in the fun. Though a bit messy, it's lively and full of life. You can ask the fishmongers to borrow a big, colorful fish to hold for photos.🌄 🌸 Climb Sigiriya to watch the sunset Sigiriya is a huge rock and an aerial palace, known as the 8th wonder of the world. 🌴 🎉Remember to protect yourself from the sun, wear suitable climbing shoes, and ignore the locals who talk to you and try to help you climb along the way. Stroll around Galle Fort🙊🙊 Galle Fort is a place I really love. You can spend half a day wandering through its streets and alleys, feeling very relaxed. 🌟 🌵The fort is by the sea, so don't miss its ramparts—climb up and you'll see the sea at the end of the grassland, which is extremely beautiful. Visit temples to experience the local Buddhist atmosphere😘😘 There are two famous temples. One is the Cave Temple, with Buddha statues built in caves in a primitive style; 🕌 🍁the other is the Temple of the Tooth Relic, which enshrines the national treasure—Buddha's tooth, with magnificent architecture. Watch the production process of Sri Lankan black tea in a tea factory🌤️ In the tea factory, you can enter the production workshop and watch the entire tea-making process with the staff's explanation.🌈 ☄️You can also taste several grades of black tea for free and buy some as souvenirs. Depart at 5 a.m. for a safari in Yala National Park💓 If you can't go to Africa, you can experience this affordable version of safari! Sit on a high jeep for an adventure. With luck, you can see leopards; usually, you can also spot elephants, deer, buffaloes, peacocks, wild boars and other animals.🦉🦆 Take a morning walk by Lake Gregory👉👈 This is the place in Sri Lanka that most resembles a European village. The small hills by the river, scattered colorful houses, and working forklifts, with few tourists, make people feel peaceful and calm.😚 Taste golden coconuts from roadside stalls Golden coconuts are common at roadside stalls, super cheap, and also make great photo props. 10. Take photos with stilt fishermen and play the role of a stilt fisherman🐟 By the sea near Galle, you can take photos by paying. They can pose cooperatively, help you sit on the "stilts", and give you a fishing rod with a caught fish for the photo.  Wait for the train to pass through Nine Arch Bridge🦋 Nine Arch Bridge is an over 100-year-old bridge with a strong sense of history, located deep in the mountains. Trains pass by every 20-30 minutes or so. It looks great in photos when the red train passes through the Nine Arch Bridge.🌁🌁 Experience folk customs in the Mask Museum On the way from Galle to Colombo, the museum has many exquisite wooden masks with bright colors and exaggerated shapes. The souvenir shop is also worth a visit, and it only accepts cash.  Look up at Colombo's Lotus Tower Colombo's landmark, with a lotus shape. The tall green tower supports the purple-red flower-shaped TV tower, which is very charming.🏞️ What other experiences do you think are worth having in Sri Lanka?🏛️ #SriLankaTravel#MyOfftheBeatenPathTravelGuide
