Located in the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka is an island nation in South Asia. Known as the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean," it is famous for its beautiful scenery.

Sri Lanka is the world's fourth-largest producer of tea. Situated close to the equator, the country enjoys a year-round summer thanks to its tropical maritime climate. Its warm and humid climate and varied elevations make it an ideal place for producing high-quality tea.

Tea is widely enjoyed by people around the world. Sri Lankan people also love tea, and their black tea has become an important cultural calling card of the country. Due to differing tea cultures, China was historically never a major buyer of Sri Lankan black tea, but with the growing love of diverse tea cultures among young Chinese people in recent years, the tea trade between the two countries has been increasing.

Sri Lanka is one of the most important gemstone-producing areas in the world today. The rubies, moonstones and garnets that are mined there are highly sought-after, along with the dazzling sapphires that are extracted and refined on the island. These colorful gemstones have their sparkle restored after careful processing by skilled local lapidaries. 

Sri Lanka's long coastline, stunning scenery and unique culture make it a popular tourist destination. A stroll through its capital, Colombo, will reveal many beautiful sights.

Viharamahadevi Park is the largest park in Colombo, the capital of Sri Lanka, located on the north side of Independence Square. Surrounded by beautiful greenery, it is an ideal space for locals to take a stroll and exercise.

Besides Colombo, Kandy is also an important tourism and cultural destination in Sri Lanka. Located in the country's Central Province, Kandy is the second-largest city in the country, known as the "last capital of the kingdom." Kandy is surrounded by mountains and rivers and is full of historical sites. In 1998, it was included on UNESCO's World Heritage List. With its beautiful environment, Kandy Lake is also a popular tourist attraction.

China and Sri Lanka have enjoyed a long history of friendly relations. The famous Chinese monk Fa Xian traveled to Sri Lanka in 410 AD. And in the 15th century, the Chinese navigator Zheng He traveled along the ancient Maritime Silk Road and landed in Sri Lanka on five occasions. Today, people can retrace this history by viewing the Trilingual Stele of Zheng He, which is held permanently on display at the Colombo National Museum.
