Nuwara Eliya travel guide
✉️ Three Must-Do Things: 1️⃣ Buy a "Ceylon Tea" stamp and send a postcard to your future self (it takes about 15 days to reach China!). 2️⃣ Find the old postmark officer to get an exclusive commemorative stamp, and he'll teach you how to write "hello" in Sinhala. 3️⃣ Grab a window seat at the second-floor café, overlook the clock tower street view, and enjoy a cinnamon apple pie. 📸 Best Photo Spots: ✔️ Post Office Archway: At 4 p.m., the slanting sunlight creates a vintage movie still with the pink wall and dark brown wooden door. ✔️ Lake Gregory Bench: With misty tea plantation hills in the background, hold a golden coconut as a prop. 🚗 Travel Tips: 🔸 Transportation: Take the tea garden train from Kandy (3 hours) or hire a car (2.5 hours). If you're prone to motion sickness on mountain roads, bring some menthol ointment. 🔸 Hidden Activities: Visit the Mackwoods Tea Factory, pick tea leaves yourself, and unlock the "tea picker" photo opportunity. 🔸 Dress Code: There's a big temperature difference between morning and evening! Bring a knitted cardigan, and a beret plus plaid elements will instantly transform you into an English girl. 💬 Travel Notes: In Nuwara Eliya, time is infused with the aroma of tea. In the early morning, push open the wooden window, and the damp mist climbs up the roses in the English garden. The red telephone booth at the street corner no longer rings but has sprouted a cluster of wild hydrangeas. #Nuwara Eliya#Lake Gregory#trip diary#travel guide#Sri lanka#Srilanka gudie#Sri lanka travel
