Hello everyone, Today I hope to discribe my country. This is my second post.
The name of my country is Sri Lanka. It is one of the most beautiful islands in the world. There is a beautiful sea side arround Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is called " The pearl of the Indian ocean". It is small island and it is very beautiful. Our closest neighbouring county is India.
The capital of Sri Lanka is Sri Jayawardhanapura Kotte. Colombo is its business centre. Sri Lanka has a population of more than 22 millions. They are Sinhalese, Tamils, Muslims and Burghers. They believe Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam and Christianity. We celebrate our independence day on 4 th February. Our first prime minister is Mr. D. S. Senanayake. The president is the head of the government. Sri Lanka is situated close to the equator. Therefore it has hot, wet climate. There are nine provinces and twenty five districts in Sri Lanka.
Paddy, coconut are main crops grown in these parts. The central parts of Sri Lanka are hilly and cool. Tea and vegetables grow well there. Coconut, rubber and tea are three of main crops of Sri Lanka.
There are many beautiful places in our country. Such as Rivers, mountains, botanical gardens, lush green forests and waterfalls are some of them. The longest river in Sri Lanka Mahaweli and the highest mountain is Piduruthalagala. The highest waterfall is Bambarakanda.
Srilankans are very friendly and hospitable.❤️ I love and respect my country forever.❤️
