An unforgettable year 🇱🇰 🇯🇵 🇻🇳

Thank you 2022 for an incredible year! 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka (February-March) This was my first time exploring this incredible country. From the busy streets of Colombo to picturesque train journeys through the tranquil mountains around Ella, from the unique food culture in Jaffna to coconuts on the beaches in Unawatuna, Sri Lanka really has it all. 🇯🇵 Japan (April-) In April (a year delayed thanks to covid), I finally achieved my dream of moving to Japan. After a few days enjoying the cherry blossoms in Tokyo, I traveled south to my new home near Kyoto. These past nine months I've explored all around Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and nearby - with trips further afield planned for 2023! 🇻🇳 Vietnam (September) In September, I took a week's holiday to visit Vietnam. Hanoi was an incredible insight into the culture of this country, while Ha Long Bay and Ninh Binh were unmissible opportunities to enjoy the amazing scenery. I ended my trip in Ho Chi Minh City, learning about the history of Vietnam. I'll definitely be back again, particularly to explore central Vietnam's famous culture, sights and nature! #japan #vietnam #srilanka #CelebrateWithTrip #passionpassport #memories

🇱🇰 Stunning Red Mosque in Pettah Market

Completed in 1909, Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in Colombo. It is located on Second Cross Street in Pettah District, where you can find one of the the largest and busiest open-air markets in Sri Lanka. It is undeniable that the red mosque painted in distinctive red and white striped is the most beautiful landmark in the area. The mosque can be easily reached by both bus and tuk-tuk. Visitors regardless of gender and religion can visit the mosque during certain timings. Remember to dress modestly. The mosque is surrounded by wthe always crowded Pettah Market. A walk through the busy streets filled with merchants selling all kinds of goods is quite an experience itself. 📍228 2nd Cross Street, Colombo 01100, Sri Lanka #thingstodo #srilanka #colombo #mosque #redmosque #market #pettah #pettahmarket #tripblazers

Urban Beach 🏖️

#beachvacation Although I grew up in a province surrounded by Indian ocean 🌊 on two sides with the second longest shore in the world 🌍, there's always one hesitation in going to the beach 🏖️ which is getting into the beach clothes 😁 As I ain't someone with such nice beach body, going to this urban beach during my Sri Lanka visit was totally worth it. You may still get down to the 🪨 rocky places and have fun there in the water though. Resonating with the common beach ⛱️ scenes in the south east Asia, there are lot of small shops setup in van 🚚 with nice delicacies to enjoy 🍦 I'd also applaud the effort in making this place very neat and decent for families to enjoy!! #tripblazers#urbanexplorer#ukcreator #colombo

Gem Kingdom--Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, has a population of over 20 million, with a per capita income of 4000 US dollars. The capital is Colombo Port, an important transportation hub in the Indian Ocean and a major transshipment port globally. The pace of life in Sri Lanka is slow, everything is done leisurely. Sri Lanka is not large in size, but it is one of the three major tea-producing countries in the world. The output value of black tea ranks among the top three in the world, and the tea export volume is the world's first! Sri Lanka has countless high mountain tea gardens, plain lakes, countless temples, various kinds of seas, calm and blue, angry and surging, beautiful as a picture, full of reefs.

Beautiful Panadura Beach- Colombo

Beautiful Panadura Beach- Colombo

My second time visiting Colombo. And everytime when I go there I have to go to this beach few hours before sunset. Having some coconut drinks and sitting there until the sun goes down. Before sunset going down, local people will come out to the beach and gathering, having small talks to each others, playing football, swimming. I just seeing and enjoy seeing how peoples' lives going #staycation

BEAUTIFUL SEEMA MALAKA.

BEAUTIFUL SEEMA MALAKA.

Seema Malaka (Sinhala: සීමා මාලකය) is a Buddhist temple in Colombo, Sri Lanka. The temple is mainly used for meditation and rest, rather than for worship. Situated in the Beira Lake, the temple was originally constructed in the late 19th century. Seema Malaka is a part of the Gangaramaya Temple and is situated few hundred meters to its east.

You must take a train ride in Sri Lanka at least once | The little train on the sea

You must take a train ride in Sri Lanka at least once | The little train on the sea

| The little train on the sea.🇱🇰 Finally came to Sri Lanka to see the little train on the sea! Hanging on the train, blowing the Indian Ocean breeze, super comfortable. We rented a car in Sri Lanka and traveled counterclockwise, first to the Bentota Turtle Hatchery, then to the Buddhist holy site recommended by the driver, and finally the best experience on the little train, the whole day's itinerary was amazing💡 🐢 Bentota Turtle Hatchery: 🎫 The entrance fee is 2000 rupees per person, and there were no other tourists when we entered. The staff were enthusiastic in introducing us to the hatching times of the turtles, the species of turtles, and let us touch and take photos with the turtles. I think this place is quite recommendable, both the little turtles and the big turtles are very cute, and you can have close contact with them. There are many turtle hatcheries in Sri Lanka, but be careful to choose the right place, 2000 rupees is the normal price, if they ask for dollars, forget it! 🙏 Kande Vihara Temple: A local temple recommended by our driver, it's very large and sacred, and the big Buddha is still under construction. The visitors here are all locals, who are very enthusiastic and greet Chinese people with smiles. 🚞 The little train on the sea: There are fast trains and slow trains. If you want to take photos, you definitely need to take the slow train. We had the driver buy the tickets for us directly. If you buy the tickets yourself, you might get confused with the stations and types of trains, so it's best to have the driver buy them. The route we took was not the most classic, and there were relatively few seasides along the way, so if you want to take a train, take the route from Galle to Colombo. Overall, playing in Sri Lanka is very joyful, and I hope more people can visit such a beautiful place.
