Pidurangala Rock
Because of the wasp sting accident that day, I went to that time, Lion Rock suspended opening and could not climb the top. While wondering whether to go back to the hotel for rest, an old lady from abroad suggested that we go to the nearby Pidurangala Rock, the bare boulder on the top below, from which we can have a panoramic view of Sigiriya. Because few people know this place, there are not many tourists, but it's worth visiting. Lying on it, it feels like there's only one left between heaven and earth.
Generally speaking, the Rock is only a symbol. The real beauty is to climb to the top of the mountain, overlook the bottom of the mountain, overlook the view of the distance, and see the Lion Rock. Not many people, if you do not want to squeeze in Lion Rock, then here is also recommended to climb.
