Located in the heart of the mountains of southern Sri Lanka, Nuwara Eliya is the highest town in Sri Lanka. Because of its high altitude, although it is located in the tropics, it is very cool, the annual temperature is around 21 degrees, and the four seasons are like spring, so historically this is the most popular settlement in the British colonial era. Strolling around the town, as far as the eye can see, whether it is the old colonial buildings or many new buildings, there is a strong Victorian style, and even the urban environment and human qualities seem to have a little aristocratic atmosphere, which is obviously different from other places in Sri Lanka. As a result, Nuwara Eliya has always been known as "Little England" and is Sriland's favourite summer resort and holiday paradise.
At first glance, the small city looks more exquisite than other cities in Sri Lanka. The chic Victorian and Tudor buildings are surrounded by greenery, giving the town a British feel.
There are no tall coconut trees here, but many elegant violets and colorful geraniums, and the roadside is full of unknown flowers.
As a popular summer resort for British colonists at that time, there was a large area of golf courses in the small town.
Built in 1889, the Nuwara Eliya Golf Club was the first golf course built in Asia and surrounded almost the entire city.
Early in the morning, there was only a group of early chickens on the pitch foraging. These big roosters, leisurely pacing on the green grassy golf course, people can't help but be funny.
A puppy was lying on the edge of the court, waiting intently for someone to arrive.
There is a lovely pink building on the highlands opposite the bus terminal that gives the feel of an English country cottage.
It was built in 1828 during the British colonial period and is the oldest building in the town, with a history of nearly 190 years.
In the morning, the post office was not yet open, and only a horse grazed intently in front of the post office.
Many young literary and artistic people like to buy a few postcards here, throw them into the postbox of nearly 200 years of history, and send them back to their own or friends' homes. This is nothing less than a nostalgia and experience for us in the era of electronic communication.
The bus terminal is always bustling, allowing us to immerse ourselves in The British style to return to the familiar atmosphere of Sri Lanka.
Huawei is the chinese brand I see most in Street Ads in Sri Lanka.
Traffic policemen in uniform, helmets and gloves meticulously pointed to passing vehicles.
Children in white school uniforms crossing the zebra crossing. It's just that the mountain town is cooler in the morning, and many students wear a sweater or coat on a white school uniform. This is not to be seen in other parts of Sri Lanka's hot days.
