Galle Face Green is a park along the Indian Ocean seafront and opposite the colonial Galle Face Hotel. The Green is very popular in the evening time and crowded with locals enjoying the waves and sea breeze, flying kites and picnicking. Galle Face Green is actually my favourite place in Colombo and I love the atmosphere here!

    It's a nice and quiet beach in the city center with an upscale shopping mall. There isn't a sandy beach but has a deck reaching out over the waters to watch the waves. Beware of stray dogs in the area. People were also flying kites on the grass.

    Galle Face Green is a 500 m promenade in the heart of Colombo, between Galle Road and the Indian Ocean. It was initially laid out in 1859 by Sir Henry Ward, Governor of British Ceylon. The stretch of land was used for horse racing and golf in the 19th century. Being the largest open space in Colombo, this is a popular destination for locals and tourists to spend their leisure time while enjoying the sea breeze from the Indian Ocean. We spent a leisure afternoon there after visiting One Galle Face Mall which is just opposite to the park. There were a lot of food vendors selling cooked crabs and prawns along the promenade. Clean public washrooms are available too. The kids had a fun time flying a kite and blowing bubbles. The view of the Sri Lankan flag flying high in the background is spectacular. We also got the opportunity to witness flag lowering ceremony at 6 pm.

    Sri Lanka is absolutely a pure land, no matter from which point of view to appreciate, the beauty is irreplaceable absolute beauty... The vegetation coverage rate is 70% of the total area of the country. This figure is not easy, but the significance behind it is very rich. The awe of nature is indeed worth learning and thinking about. When we choose how to treat nature, nature will give us feedback.

    Add the Fisse Greenland Square is actually a lawn next to the beach. There are not many people on weekends, the waves are fierce, and there are Chinese construction sites next to it. The Chinese harbor has completely occupied it. It is very proud to see our brother unit.
