Wake up to a luxurious sea view at Weligama Bay Marriott in the morning, and end your Sri Lanka nature and culture exploration with a romantic coastal train ride. A perfect end to your trip. ⛱️Must-see attractions: 1. Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa: A sea view and surfing paradise. Enjoy the magnificent view of the Indian Ocean from the private balcony of your hotel room in the morning. The beach downstairs is a paradise for surfers, with gentle waves suitable for beginners. The hotel is close to Mirissa Beach (a whale-watching paradise), Galle Fort (a colonial relic), and Yala National Park (a wildlife safari), so you can arrange a short trip. 2. Sri Lanka Coastal Line: We recommend the Galle-Colombo section, which is known as the "coastal train" and runs along the coastline. The view of the blue sea and sky outside the window is like a scene from Spirited Away. We recommend choosing a seat on the sea side. The whole journey takes about 2.5 hours. 3. Colombo landmarks: Independence Square, a symbol of Sri Lanka's independence, where Premier Zhou Enlai once gave a speech. Galle Face Green, where you can watch the sunset in the evening and experience the local life in Colombo. 🏨Accommodation tips: The first choice is definitely Weligama Bay Marriott Resort & Spa: We stayed for two nights, and the facilities and services were top-notch. The hotel offers ocean-view rooms, an outdoor pool, free Wi-Fi, and a modern gym. Some suites are equipped with electric curtains and a private balcony clothes rack. The dining experience is also great. The breakfast includes Sri Lankan tea, and you can find authentic Sichuan restaurants within walking distance of the hotel, which we recommend to those who miss Chinese food. In Colombo, you can also choose the Ocean Colombo Hotel by the sea. In Galle, we recommend a boutique hotel near Unawatuna Beach. 💌Visa tips: Until 2025 (currently), Sri Lanka is still visa-free for Chinese tourists, with a maximum stay of 30 days. 💬Common language: English is widely used in hotels, attractions, and transportation hubs, and locals can generally communicate in simple English. Sinhala/Tamil is the main local language, but tourists don't need to learn it. 🌎️Mobile and wireless network: We recommend enabling international roaming. You can buy a Dialog data package at the airport or in the city for about USD 10/10GB. Hotels generally have Wi-Fi, with high-speed and stable signals. 💰️Payment: The rupee is the main currency in circulation. Small vendors and tuk-tuks generally only accept cash, while hotels, large restaurants, and shopping malls accept Visa/Mastercard. 💗Other tips: The coastal train is very cheap, with a third-class ticket costing only 40 rupees. There are no fixed seats, and you will see many people leaning out of the train door to take photos while the train is running. Please be careful, as there have been accidents involving people hanging outside the train to take photos.

Sri Lanka's lush landscapes bestow upon us an abundance of fresh and vibrant fruits, adorning roadside stalls with their enticing colors and aromatic fragrances. A particular stop presented a pineapple dream catcher—an imaginative addition to the array of snacks. With every succulent bite, I embraced the very essence of this tropical haven, celebrating the profound connection between the gifts of nature and the sheer joy they bring. Alongside my companion, we reveled in the simple pleasures that this land generously bestows upon us. 🍉🌴

From an initially hesitant novice to conquering the exhilarating challenge of riding the white waters, my journey into surfing has been nothing short of exhilarating. In the heart of Weligama, often regarded as Sri Lanka's surf capital, I embraced the opportunity to learn to ride the waves. Interestingly, even as an Australian, I discovered a newfound love for the sport amidst the picturesque beaches and the welcoming surf culture of this island paradise. As the waves whispered stories of the ocean's vastness, I found myself swept away by a newfound passion that transcended geographical borders. 🤙🇱🇰

Stepping into the realm of art, I found myself ensconced in a mesmerizing encounter with the masterpieces of Van Gogh. Amid the dynamic display of colors and the mesmerizing whirl of brushstrokes, I marveled at the immersive journey that transported me to a different dimension. Amid the walls of this gallery, even someone who scarcely "Gogh"-es here found herself spellbound by the enchanting magic of artistic expression. In the presence of these creations, I discovered a bridge that transcended time and language, connecting me to the essence of human creativity. 🎨✨
