The Temple of Buddha Tooth in Kandy, Sri Lanka, was listed on the World Heritage List in 1998. The Temple is located on the beautiful Lake Kandy in the center of the holy city of Kandy. The temple holds the treasure of Sri Lanka's town and country, one of the only two spiritual teeth left by Buddha Sakyamuni. Walking in the Buddhist temple, white dress white men and women sitting on the table, reciting scriptures; The orange-clad monks walked by, the dark skin against the white walls...the lingering cigarettes, the solemn bells and drums, the pure eyes, the solemn atmosphere, let your heart slowly become calm and peaceful. The inner temple is divided into two floors, the lower floor of the Buddha Hall, the golden glory. The upper temple is supported by many Hindu pillars, and the temple is hung with Buddhist flags, consisting of blue, yellow, red, white, orange and the first five colors of mixed colors, which are six colors released by the Holy Body when the Buddha was made into Tao. Follow the stairs to the second floor to the dark room where the Buddha's teeth are placed. The table in front of the door is filled with various lotus flowers provided by the believers. The lotus is the national flower of Sri Lanka, and locals usually come to the temple with lotus flowers. The Buddha's teeth are stored in the seven-story golden pagoda. This year, the Buddha Dental Festival celebrations began on August 17 and lasted until August 31. Elephants carrying the Buddha Dental "Sheli Tower", from Kandy Buddha Dental Temple, cruised the city to let the people enjoy the glory of Buddha Dental. On the Buddha's teeth festival, from nose to foot are decorated with exquisite edging fabric, the most gorgeous and domineering leader elephant back is loaded with huge Huali, Huali is the much-anticipated collection of Buddha teeth Sheli dumplings. Buddha was cremated in the Mallas area in 543 BC, and the local officials in northern India shared the Buddha's Sheri. The son-in-law and daughter of King GUHASIVA in the 4th century AD secretly brought to Sri Lanka to give to the King of Ceylon in a hair knot. It was worshipped by the temple, originally built by King Vimalada, and now built during the reign of King Kritisriya Siha. Another Buddha tooth is the Buddha Tooth Tower of Lingguang Temple in the eight major places in Beijing.

Lakes
_cm***17
Kanti is Sri Lanka's second largest city, a Buddhist holy place. Kanti Lake is in the center of the city. It is a huge artificial lake dug by a rice field and is also one of the city's most famous tourist attractions. The scenery on Kanti Lake is beautiful, and there is a small island in the center, which is said to be the place where the Queen lived. The lakeside tropical flowers and trees are lush, blooming, all purple and red. Next to a lake-ring road is the Buddha Tooth Temple of Sri Lanka's national treasure temple. Kandy Lake reflects the Buddha Tooth Temple, and the Buddha Tooth Temple is dotted with Kandy Lake. The two are intersected and perfectly harmonious, forming the most beautiful scenery of Kandy Ancient City. In the distance, there are many English buildings dotted between the mountains and forests, and tourists and local residents from all over the world take a walk along the lake and enjoy the beautiful lakes and mountains.

The museum not far from the Buddha Tooth Temple tells the history of the British colonial period. The lights are slightly dim. On the contrary, there is a sense of vicissitudes when you walk in. You can visit together on the way. The visit is mainly in English. If you want to visit seriously, it is best to do your homework. From gems to jewels, swords to crowns, the museum is filled with well-preserved exhibits from the Kingdom of Kandy, and the museum is now re-located inside the temple, a must-see for intellectuals, new historians and students.

@🇱🇰 Sri Lanka, Nuwara Eliya Novara Eliya Horton Plain National Park Horton Plains National Park During British colonialism, it was named after Wilmert Horton, the British Governor in Ceylon (now known as Sri Lanka), (also said to be his wife Anne • Horton). In 1969, it was designated a wildlife refuge. In July 2010, due to its biodiversity, the central highlands of Sri Lanka (including the Horton Plain National Park, the Peak Wilderness Reserve where Adam Peak is located and the Knuckles Mountains) were listed on the World Heritage List ~50+ local geoguide full-time control speed (counterclockwise hiking), The "Horton Three-person Team" with the two beautiful young ladies opens 10km 4h special soldier mode 4:00 get up ➡️4:45 depart the hotel➡️6:00 sun rise➡️ 6:30 hiking ➡️no stop walking➡️10:30 leave the park➡️11:20 arrive the hotel➡️11:45 travel move🤣 Overall feeling, it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain ps: In order to protect the environment, the food will be required to unpack the plastic bag and put it in the paper bag provided by the garden. The washing room [laughing] at the entrance is a thousand miles away. There is a toilet. It is not a dry toilet. In addition, it seems that there are only two bathrooms in the park, and the walk from the exit is about 1 hour.

This reserve has pure beauty! It's so peaceful inside, a great place to escape the bustling city. You can walk a lot of different paths in the park, some are short walks for people who don't want to go too far, some are long walks for people who walk longer. There is also a bike path there. There are also many monkeys there, which is really interesting! We also found a turtle in the river. This place is definitely underrated and should be noticed by more people visiting Kandy!

I used to think that New Zealand was an island country. I didn't expect the scenery here to be so rich and beautiful, snowy mountains, rivers, meadows, and pastures. Tourism resources and varieties are very rich. Traveling here is really worth it.
