Sri Lanka is small, and this is called "a tear in the Indian Ocean" or "a pearl in the Indian Ocean", like a tear or a pearl, like her conflicting history and beauty.

　　斯里兰卡很小，这个被称作「印度洋上的一滴眼泪」或者「印度洋上的一颗珍珠」，像眼泪又似珍珠，如同她衝突的历史与美感。

　　Sri Lanka has ruled by Portugal, the Netherlands and the UK, in recent years, the civil war ceasefire, pluralistic culture attract travelers from all over the world come to visit, full of design feeling of the fashion hotel soon, flight, boutiques, cafes are visible, but with the salon, barefoot step in the mud, the squat toilet between township roads, formed the sharp contrast.

　　● the eighth wonder of the world at lion rock

　　●登狮子岩 世界第八大奇蹟

　　The tour guide said that lion rock is the "mark" of Sri Lanka, not to have been to the country is not aware of the country.

　　导游说，狮子岩是斯里兰卡的「印记」，没来过等于不认识这个国家。

　　The road to lion rock, surrounded by lush green, was once the palace of the patricide king casapa, who built his palace on top of the stone, built a moat around it, then became a monastery, and then disappeared into history until English archaeologists discovered it in the jungle. The rock is 200 meters high, with winding stone steps reaching the top and a concave rock in the middle.

　　通往狮子岩的道路，尽是蓊鬱的绿，这裡曾是弑父夺权的君王卡萨帕的宫殿，他在巨石顶端建造宫殿，并在周围修筑了护城河，之后成为修道院，接著隐入历史，直到英国考古学家在丛林裡发现它。这块巨岩有200公尺高，蜿蜒的石阶可以一直攀登到顶部，中段有处凹入的石岩，约1500年前的画作依然保持鲜丽色彩，画作多半是半裸的仕女，戴著华丽的头饰。

　　远眺狮子岩之后，就是无止尽的登山之路，铁板铺成的迴旋梯在脚下咚咚作响，探完半裸的仕女图，接著是大片平整又光秃的岩壁，据说曾是「国王的镜子」，因此又称镜子牆 (Mirror Wall)　上有著千年来游客的涂鸦，最远可追溯到西元6世纪。

　　Through the narrow walkway, the view is suddenly widened. The broad platform has a pair of sharp and thick lion claws, which is also the only symbol of "lion" left in the lion rock.

　　通过窄狭的走道，接著视野豁然开阔，宽大的平台有对锋利粗壮的狮爪，这也是狮子岩仅存「狮」的象徵。

　　这颗有诸多传说的佛牙，也是许多电影裡的主角，各方人马为此宗教与王权的至高象徵，以生命拚搏。如今，要入寺也难上加难，得先换装、一身淨白，再经重重安检，包括每人轮流进入小房间彻底检查，接著脱下鞋袜，以最纯淨的心，入寺礼佛。
