Although the Independent Square in downtown Colombo is small, its position in Sri Lanka is similar to our Tiananmen Square. It was once the site of Sri Lanka's independence ceremony on February 4, 1948. The Independent Memorial Hall in the center of the square was built to imitate the hall where the royal family met the pilgrims during the Kantian Dynasty. In the center of Independence Square stands a memorial hall, which is designed with Sri Lankan cartoon color. The beams and pillars of the memorial are engraved with elephants, lions and patterns describing the history of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. The memorial hall also has a small museum with reliefs close to the roof, describing the history of Sri Lanka from the 5th century B.C. to 1948 B.C. when it became independent. Around the Memorial of Independence, there are also 60 stone lions, which symbolize the Sinhalese lion statues. Each lion represents a king of Sri Lanka from dynasties to dynasties. These lion stone carvings of the same body fully reflect the style of the ancient traditional culture of Kanti, Sri Lanka.

    A building commemorating Sri Lanka's independence, there is a statue of the father of the country at the door. The memorial hall is a free attraction, and there is a museum below. The museum seems to be charged and it did not open when I went.

    This building is a noble tribute to freedom. The whole building is wonderful, the pillars are intricate art, from ceiling to floor are symmetrical, you can't help but be surprised by such a design. In this place you can have a happy quiet time. Surrounded by beautiful scenery, tree-lined and pleasant, it is a great place to escape from a frenzied crowded place.

    The Independence Memorial Hall, built to commemorate Sri Lanka's independence from colonial rule, stands in the center of Independence Square in Colombo. The building is empty on all sides. The beams are engraved with elephants, lions and patterns describing the history of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. There are 60 stone lions around. It reflects the style of Kandy culture. The memorial also has a small museum with reliefs close to the roof, which describes Sri Lanka's life since Nayak, which is religious in Buddhism. Local residents are relaxing here on weekdays, and nearby schools often engage in extracurricular activities here...

    I went to Sri Lanka at the end of June this year. The day before we returned to Shanghai, we went to the Independence Memorial Hall. The memorial hall is built in the center of the Independence Square. In front of the memorial hall is a statue of Sri Lanka's founding Prime Minister. The beams and pillars of the memorial hall are engraved with images of elephants, lions and the history of Buddhism in Sri Lanka. During his visit to Sri Lanka in 1957, Premier Zhou attended the celebration of the 9th anniversary of Sri Lanka's independence in the Independence Hall. The memorial hall is surrounded by stone lions, each representing a king. At night, there are fountains. It's free to play in such a beautiful place. That's great!

    Sri Lanka Independence Memorial Hall, a memorial hall built to commemorate Sri Lanka's secession from colonial rule, stands in the center of Colombo Independence Square. The building is hollow on all sides, with elephants, lions and designs describing Sri Lanka's Buddhist history carved on beams and pillars. There are 60 stone lions around, reflecting the style of Kanti culture. The memorial hall also has a small museum with reliefs close to the roof, describing Sri Lanka's devotion to Buddhism since Nayak. Local residents usually stay here to relax and cool down, and nearby schools often engage in extracurricular activities here...
