Known as the 'Pearl of the Indian Ocean,' Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka, an independent island nation in the Indian Ocean, is shaped like a teardrop and is also called a tear of God and the 'Pearl of the Indian Ocean.'
Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, has an economy primarily based on agriculture. Its most important export product is Ceylon tea, and it is also a gem-rich island, ranking among the top five gem-producing countries in the world.
Sri Lanka also boasts endless beaches, timeless ruins, hospitable people, fresh tea gardens, a pleasant climate, and the romance of seaside trains. The mystery of this Buddhist country makes it like a maiden behind a sari, sparking the desire of tourists to explore.
The most recommended tourist attractions in Sri Lanka are:
Lion Rock: Here, you can admire the world-famous Sigiriya 'Heavenly Maidens' frescoes through a spiral staircase and climb to the summit to see the sunset's glow covering the land.
Temple of the Tooth in Kandy: The Kandy Lake reflects the Temple of the Tooth, and the Temple of the Tooth embellishes Kandy Lake, creating the most beautiful scenery in the ancient city of Kandy.
Horton Plains: This is the only national park in Sri Lanka that allows tourists to hike. The 'World's End' cliff and Baker's Falls are the most famous tourist spots here.
British Tea Gardens: Located in the highlands of Nuwara Eliya at an altitude of 2000 meters, it has vast tea gardens and a pleasant climate. The tea produced here is of top quality in color, aroma, taste, and texture, known as the 'Champagne of Tea.'
Stilt Fishing: Fishermen sit on wooden stilts waiting for fish to bite. From a distance, they look like a group of stilt walkers standing in the sea, requiring good balance and enduring both sea winds and sunlight, making it one of the iconic scenes of Sri Lanka.
