After breakfast, we left the hotel. This morning's goal is to walk through the streets and alleys with many shops in the Beta area of the hotel's residential area and start today's tour in the view of the city scenery. The streets are full of cars, except for a large number of beepers, which are colorful buses, trucks and cars are relatively less. As the capital of the country, it seems that such a small proportion of cars on the streets are rare. Citizens dressed in ethnic costumes, men, women and children, walk slowly and quickly on the street, and almost all of them have a relaxed smile on their faces. Large billboards stand at intersections, and Buddhist statues of various postures can be seen everywhere on the roadside. This is a city full of many religious beliefs, but Buddhism seems to be thriving in comparison.

    One of the the largest and busiest open-air markets in Sri Lanka. Here you can find the beautiful Jami Ul-Alfar Mosque painted in distinctive red and white stripes. A walk through the busy streets filled with merchants selling all kinds of goods is quite an experience itself.

    Beta District is Colombo's largest shopping street, with crisscrossing several alleys. On both sides of the street are shops with clothing, shoes and hats, daily necessities, small household appliances and so on. The commodities are mainly middle and low grade. It is a place for local people to shop. It's very busy, mixed with people, and there are many beepers running through it, where you can feel the real life of Sri Lanka. There are many temples in Beta District. There is a red-and-white Jami-Ul-Alfar mosque right here. It is very beautiful and magnificent. There is also an Indian temple.

    Beta is the old city of Colombo, where you can see how the local people live and buy things from the local people. Feel the real life. Many times, when a large number of stores close, we must choose the right time.
