Matara ringkonna kohta

Sri Lanka lõunaprovintsis asuv Matara piirkond on tuntud oma ranniku ilu, rikkaliku ajaloo ja õitsva kohaliku kultuuri poolest. India ookeaniga piirnev piirkond pakub kauneid randu nagu Polhena ja Mirissa, mis on populaarsed ujumis- ja vaalavaatluskohad. Piirkonna majandust juhivad põllumajandus, eriti kookospähkli ja tee kasvatamine, aga ka kalapüük. Ajaloolised vaatamisväärsused, nagu Matara kindlus ja Dondra Headi tuletorn, toovad esile piirkonna koloniaalminevikku. Oma looduslike vaatamisväärsuste ja kultuuripärandi seguga on Matara piirkond kütkestav sihtkoht nii kohalikele kui ka turistidele.

Lõunaprovintsi kohta

Sri Lanka lõunaprovints on väike geograafiline piirkond, mis koosneb Galle, Matara ja Hambantota piirkondadest. Elatuspõllundus ja kalapüük on selle piirkonna elanike peamine sissetulekuallikas.

Lõunaprovintsi oluliste vaatamisväärsuste hulka kuuluvad Yala ja Udawalawe rahvusparkide looduskaitsealad, püha linn Kataragama ning iidsed linnad Tissamaharama, Kirinda ja Galle. (Kuigi Galle on iidne linn, pole Portugali sissetungi eelsest ajast peaaegu midagi säilinud.) Portugali perioodil elasid kaks kuulsat singali luuletajat: Andare, kes oli pärit Dickwellast, ja Gajaman Nona, kes oli pärit Denipitiyast Matara ringkonnas, kes kirjutasid luuletusi lihtinimese kohta.
