Gao Yu fisherman, unique landscape of Sri Lanka's southwestern coastline, iconic business card of Sri Lanka tourism. It is rumored that a long time ago, in the Galle-Merissa section of the southwest coastline of Sri Lanka (35 kilometers), fishermen without money to buy fishing boats, in the shallow sea area tree in the middle of the tripod, wading on the wooden stakes to climb on the wooden stakes and sit on the rack, in the way of baitless sea fishing, Waiting for the peregrine to hook the sardines in the shallow sea area, the harvest is not bad. From the shore, it looks like a group of fishers with feet on the sorghum, and the "sorghum fisherman" is named. The blue sky and white clouds, the swaying background board of coconut trees, the waves, the sparkling Indian Ocean, the bushes of wooden stakes, the silhouette of the hard-working fishermen... one blockbuster, became a compulsory course for Sri Lankan tourism. Today, fish - no longer important, swimming - is the hard reason for development. N points along the coastline, each inserted densely more than 100 wooden stakes, empty; as soon as the tourist bus arrived, more than ten fishermen climbed on the wooden stakes and sat on the racks holding fishing rods, sculpting; If tourists pay to pile up, try it, the most welcome... Tips: fishermen are sitting on the back of the sun, taking a clear photo of the face, it is not easy.

I went there with a mood that I couldn’t see anything, because I felt that I was really looking for a needle in a haystack. As a result, I was especially grateful to the captain for his persistence. I saw hundreds of dolphins swimming back. The crew in the vast sea was reluctant to find whales. Everyone thought that today was hopeless, and found the whale group. And the empty sound of whales in the documentary, but unfortunately 🐳 did not take it, very amazing day! It's worth it!

The ancient city of Galle, located on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, covers an area of 360,000 square meters. It is a must-check ancient city in Sri Lanka. Walking on the thick embankment, the slight sea breeze is light... cozy; shuttled in the streets and alleys, the strong style hits the face...comfortable
