Come to Sri Lanka, why not go fishing?

After flying thousands of kilometers, I finally checked in 🇱🇰Sri Lanka's stilt fishermen. The Kogal stilt fishermen are really photogenic! It was featured on the cover of Lonely Planet magazine in 2009. It is said that because fishermen cannot afford fishing boats, they set up fishing rods in the shallows, which is called "the best fishing method in the world"🎣 ⏳Visiting time: Recommendation🌄Go in the morning from 5:30-7:00 or in the evening from 17:30-18:30, the light is soft and there are fewer tourists. The sea water is relatively clear during the dry season from November to April of the following year, and the film yield is higher. 📝Notes: [1] Climbing the wooden poles requires a certain amount of balance, and you can pay about 500 rupees (12 yuan) to experience sitting on the poles; [2] You can visit Galle Fort on the way, which takes about 40 minutes by car, and experience the Dutch colonial style. Guide to avoid pitfalls ⚠️ There are very few fishermen who actually fish, most of them are paid performances ⚠️ Talk about the cost before shooting (usually 500 rupees per person) ⚠️ Be cautious when approaching the reef area when the waves are large
