After leaving the Middle East base group, Li Ningyu stopped in Saudi Arabia and Sri Lanka respectively, had some exchanges with the current King of Saudi Arabia, Al-Dulazi, and left in a hurry, but when he arrived in Sri Lanka
, but stayed for three days.
Sri Lanka is a tropical island country in the Indian Ocean. It is shaped like a teardrop of the Indian Peninsula and is embedded in the vast Indian Ocean. In ancient times, our country once called it the Lion Country, Sinhala. Sri Lanka means paradise or light in Sinhala.
A land of wealth, Sri Lanka's main influence comes from gemstones.
This is also what Marco Polo called the most beautiful island and the pearl of the Indian Ocean, because it has a stunningly beautiful seaside, a mysterious ancient city, rich natural heritage, and a unique and charming historical and cultural background. Sri Lanka’s
The main economy is agriculture, and Ceylon black tea is also one of the most important export products.
Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean is located at the southern tip of the South Asian continent, facing the Indian Peninsula. Because it is close to the equator, it feels like summer all year round, with an average temperature of about 28 degrees. Sri Lanka has a land area of only 66,000 square kilometers, but there are thousands of
Thousands of people.
From the 5th century AD to the 16th century, there were constant battles between the Sinhalese Kingdom and the Tamil Kingdom on the island. However, it was successively ruled by Portugal and the Netherlands starting in the 16th century. It became a British colony in the 18th century, but was ruled by
The Far East Group acquired it, and since then it has become an important chess piece of the Far East Group in the Indian Ocean. The Far East Army has established several important naval bases here.
Unlike the British colonization, the Far East Group completely handed over the power of the entire Sri Lanka to the government formed by the local people, and asked the Governor of Sri Lanka to mediate the relationship between the ethnic groups on the island, and actively help the Sri Lankan people to build a more prosperous and beautiful new homeland.
.
Sri Lanka has always relied on plantations as the mainstay of its economy. The main crops are tea, rubber, coconut and rice. The domestic industrial base is weak. However, as it is located in South Asia and is one of the countries controlled by the Far East Group, it is natural that there is
Taking the lead in implementing the policy of economic liberalization, after three years of economic reform, Sri Lanka's economic management model has now been broken, and the entire market economic pattern is basically taking shape. In recent years, the economy has begun to maintain medium-speed growth.
All this comes from Li Ningyu’s wise planning. Sri Lanka is a tropical island, and the mineral resources here cannot be provided for industry. Therefore, in the early stages of development, Li Ningyu set Sri Lanka’s main direction as light industry and processing industry, and the other is
Vigorously develop tourism.
The main mineral deposits here are only graphite, gemstones, titanium ferro, zircon, and mica, which have now been fully exploited. In addition, the fishery, forestry and water resources here are used to develop textiles, clothing, leather, food, and tobacco in the light industry.
, papermaking, wood, chemical industry, petroleum processing, rubber and metal processing and machine assembly and other industries. In 1901, Sri Lanka's industrial output accounted for 12% of GDP, the growth rate was 2%, and the number of employees accounted for 1% of the total labor force.
65. The arable land area reached 3.2 million hectares, and 2.1 million hectares have been utilized so far.
Tourism is an important part of Sri Lanka's economy, but the current tourists mainly come from India and Southeast Asia. Europe and America account for a smaller proportion. However, the number of tourists has exceeded 150,000 for three consecutive years. Tourism is a need.
The industry is constantly improving and developing. After Far East Group took over, it began to promote the growth of the tourism industry.
The main targets here are hotels and tourism industry employees, as well as the development and addition of various major consumer contents, such as beach leisure, swimming, surfing and diving, while visiting Sri Lanka's historical sites, ancient cities, and remains left during colonial rule.
traces, etc., so over the years, the number of passengers has grown rapidly, with an average annual growth of more than 15%. However, since the Far East Group declared war on the Eight-Nation Allied Forces, due to the decline in the security situation in South Asia, during that period,
Sri Lanka's tourist arrivals dropped sharply, but as the security situation eased, Sri Lanka's tourism industry began to recover rapidly.
Li Ningyu's original plan was to stay in Sri Lanka for a day or two, but who knew that because of the beautiful environment here, the girls Louis, Helena, and Sarah refused to leave and insisted on playing for a few more days.
In the end, Li Ningyu stayed in Sri Lanka for three days, including several famous tourist attractions. Anuradhapura, the oldest city in Sri Lanka, has a history of 2,500 years. It became the first tourist attraction in Sri Lanka in 380 BC.
The capital of the Kingdom of Sri Lanka, and the residence of Sri Lanka's supreme rulers for more than a thousand years, the ruins of this royal city were discovered in the late nineteenth century, and after renovations, they began to be developed for tourists.
There is also the fortress area. This was originally a large fortress built by Portuguese colonists, but now it is the seat of the Sri Lankan parliament, government, banks, shops, tourism, and shipping companies. The entire fortress area has a quiet scenery, colorful flowers, and plants everywhere.
There are ironwood trees and water lilies, more coconut trees towering into the sky, and tens of thousands of sacred birds (Sri Lankans regard crows as sacred birds!).
There are also Adam's Peak, the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, Lion Rock, etc.
Most of the local people in Sri Lanka believe in Buddhism. In daily life, people have special respect for monks. For example, when taking public transportation, ordinary people get on the bus from the back door, but only monks can get on the bus directly from the front door.
There are also seats reserved for monks, and others are not allowed to sit there. At the same time, in Sri Lankan customs, the left hand is regarded as a dirty and despicable hand, so it is extremely impolite to deliver items with the left hand.
After three days in Sri Lanka, Li Ningyu really felt the changes here. With the warm reception of the Sri Lankan authorities, Li Ningyu ended this trip and started to go to the next destination, which is also the Far East Group.
The most important region is South Asia.
Since resisting the Eight-Power Allied Forces, the Far East Army began a several-year battle on the north and south fronts. However, in the end, the tenacious and heroic soldiers of the Far East not only defended their homeland, but also completely destroyed the French Empire's colonial rule in parts of Asia.
, when it was first taken over by the Far East Group, many South Asian people still did not understand and did not support it. However, after seeing that the Far East Group continued to make great efforts to build their homes, everyone suddenly realized and understood an important truth.
That is, the Far East Group is not a colonial bandit.
