Lonely Planet Cover Destination: This is How You Must Experience Sri Lanka!

Last month, Sri Lanka officially announced: Until March 31, 2024, visa fees for Chinese tourists are waived (Note: visa fees are waived, not visas – you still need to complete the ETA electronic visa application process, but it's free~
