中部省

中部省位于斯里兰卡的中央丘陵地区,由三个行政区组成:康提、马特莱和努瓦拉埃利耶。该省的土地面积为5,575平方公里,占斯里兰卡总土地面积的8.6%。该省位于北纬6.6°-7.7°和东经80.5°-80.9°之间。省内海拔从600英尺到6000英尺以上不等。该省北邻北中部省,东临马哈韦利河,南接乌玛欧亚及亚当峰、基里加尔波塔和托塔帕拉等山脉,西靠多洛斯巴格和加拉盖德拉山脉。

康提是斯里兰卡的第二大城市,也是中部省的主要城市,以及康提区的首府。这座古老的城市海拔465米(1,526英尺)。康提是斯里兰卡古代王国的最后一座首都,并因佛牙寺而成为该国最神圣的城市之一。它也是岛上最美丽的城市之一。城市被郁郁葱葱的群山环绕,湖泊和邻近的佛牙寺为城市增添了美丽。

湖的北岸被19世纪初的白石栏杆环绕,沿岸有该市的官方宗教遗迹,包括被称为达拉达马利加瓦的佛牙寺和皇家宫殿。达拉达马利加瓦在18世纪重建,建在花岗岩基座上,其设计灵感来源于斯里兰卡前首都阿努拉德普勒的寺庙。各种材料使这座寺庙更加丰富。在这个小型圣城中,还可以找到多个佛教寺院。康提位于岛的山地和茂密森林内部,被包括指关节山脉和汉塔纳山脉在内的多条山脉环绕,使城市海拔达到500米。城市毗邻人工康提湖,南接乌达瓦塔克勒自然保护区。

努瓦拉埃利耶意为“光之城”,是斯里兰卡中部高地的一个小镇,拥有如画的景观和温和的气候。努瓦拉埃利耶是努瓦拉埃利耶区的主要城市,海拔1,868米(6,128英尺),被认为是斯里兰卡茶叶生产最重要的地区。该镇俯瞰斯里兰卡最高峰皮杜鲁塔拉加拉山。由于高海拔,努瓦拉埃利耶的气候比低地凉爽得多,年平均气温为16°C。然而,气温有时可能降至3°C。在12月、1月和2月的夜间,气温相当寒冷,甚至可能出现霜冻,但随着热带阳光升起,气温会迅速回升。
