One of the projects worth visiting in Sri Lanka, visit wild elephants. Everyone will take a local dedicated jeep. Then cross the jungle of the protected area to find elephants. You can see interesting Asian elephants here. It is worth it.

Sri Lanka has the world's largest Asian elephant population, and despite the government's law banning wild elephants, it is still facing extinction. There are many reasons for this, such as killing people and animals, the need for religious culture and entertainment industries to be kept in captivity, etc., but it is well known that elephants have extremely low reproduction rates and survival rates under captivity because they belong only to nature. Elephants belong to a complex family social structure in the natural environment, requiring dozens or even hundreds of square kilometers of space for activities, but in captivity, they have no space to live in the wild at all, and can only be forced to strip from the family and limit it to more than a dozen square meters of space. The final is gloomy. In Sri Lanka's Kadura and Mineria National Parks, which together cover more than 150 square kilometers, are a paradise for wild elephants, rich in vegetation and green grass next to the reservoir, attracting hundreds of elephants foraging. Visitors take off-road vehicles, just look far away, and do not affect the life of the elephant group. This is the way I admire, not captive while protecting wild elephants, but also their undisturbed natural environment.

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.

1. The Lion Rock in the ancient city of Sigiria is a treasure in Sri Lanka's ancient religious and cultural treasure house, but if you want to really appreciate the Lion Rock, you have to climb Pidurangala Rock on the opposite side; 2.Half an hour to an hour's mountain road, which is very difficult to walk, and the climbers need better physical qualities; 3. The rock top has a wide view, excellent scenery and a large area of open space for rest and picnic; 4. Tickets for foreign tourists are as follows: 500 rupees, about 20, and free sightseeing for the people of Sri Lanka.
