希卡杜瓦市

希卡杜瓦是位于斯里兰卡西南部的一座海滨度假小镇。这里以强劲的海浪和美丽的海滩而闻名，其中包括被棕榈树环绕、沿岸遍布餐厅和酒吧的希卡杜瓦海滩。希卡杜瓦海滩对面的浅水区域保护着希卡杜瓦国家公园，这里是一个珊瑚保护区，也是海龟和多种热带鱼类的栖息地。在内陆地区，有一座名为甘加拉玛大寺（Gangarama Maha Vihara）的佛教寺庙，寺内装饰着手绘壁画。

希卡杜瓦海滩

1940年，希卡杜瓦的岩石小岛被宣布为保护区，其保护范围仅限于这些岩石小岛的陆地边界。1998年，该地区被提升为自然保护区，随后又被指定为国家公园。著名的珊瑚花园（Coral Gardens）和特尔瓦特鸟类保护区（Telwatte Bird Sanctuary）是希卡杜瓦的主要景点，该地距离科伦坡约98公里。许多国内外游客来到这里观赏著名的“珊瑚花园”。对于不想下水的游客，可以乘坐玻璃底船观赏海底景观，而其他游客则通过浮潜前往这些布满色彩斑斓珊瑚和丰富海洋生物的礁石区域。

希卡杜瓦也在 TripAdvisor、Viator 和 GetYourGuide 上展示。

About Galle District

Galle is a city situated on the southwestern tip of Sri Lanka, 119 km from Colombo. Galle is the best example of a fortified city built by Europeans in south and Southeast Asia, showing the interaction between European architectural styles and south Asian traditions. The Galle fort is a world heritage site and the largest remaining fortress in Asia built by European occupiers.

Galle is a sizeable town, by Sri Lankan standards, and has a population of 91,000, the majority of whom are of Sinhalese ethnicity. There is also a large Sri Lankan Moor minority, particularly in the fort area, which descend from Arab merchants that settled in the ancient port of Galle.

About Southern Province

The Southern Province of Sri Lanka is a small geographic area consisting of the districts of Galle, Matara and Hambantota. Subsistence farming and fishing is the main source of income for the vast majority of the people of this region.

Important landmarks of the Southern Province include the wildlife sanctuaries of  the Yala and Udawalawe National Parks, the holy city of Kataragama, and the ancient cities of Tissamaharama, Kirinda and Galle. (Although Galle is an ancient city, almost nothing survives from before the Portuguese invasion.) During the Portuguese period there were two famous Sinhalese poets called Andare who was from Dickwella and Gajaman Nona who was from Denipitiya in Matara District, composing poems on common man.
