A Stone Lotus in the Jungle – Magical and Peaceful
Lotus Pond的点评
点评：The Lotus Pond (Nelum Pokuna) was one of my favorite stops in Polonnaruwa. It’s a bit off the main path, so many people miss it, but it’s a true hidden gem.
The pond is nearly 1,000 years old and completely carved out of stone in the shape of a lotus flower. You can see the individual “petals” forming the steps that lead down into what used to be a pool of water. It’s a beautiful example of ancient Sri Lankan architecture and artistry.
Standing there felt like stepping into a storybook or time-travel moment. The surroundings are peaceful, with trees and birds, and it’s so quiet that you can almost hear the past echoing around you.
One important thing to know—there are lots of monkeys in this area! They’re cute but very cheeky. They will try to steal your food, or even your bag if you’re not careful, so keep your things close and avoid carrying snacks in your hands.
It’s not a big site, but it’s definitely worth visiting if you love history, hidden spots, and beautiful, peaceful places.
Tip: Go early in the day for the best light and fewer tourists. And watch your stuff around the monkeys!

翻译：莲花池（Nelum Pokuna）是我在波隆纳鲁沃最喜欢的一站。它有点偏离主路，很多人都错过了，但它确实是一颗隐藏的宝石。
这个池塘已有近1000年历史，完全由石头雕刻成莲花的形状。你可以看到一片片的“花瓣”构成了通往曾经是水池的台阶。它是斯里兰卡古代建筑和艺术的精美典范。
站在那里，仿佛置身于童话故事书或穿越时空。周围环境宁静祥和，树木繁茂，鸟语花香，静得你几乎可以听到过去的回响。
有一件重要的事情要知道——这附近有很多猴子！它们很可爱，但也很调皮。如果你不小心，它们会试图偷你的食物，甚至你的包，所以要把你的东西放在身边，不要手里拿着零食。
虽然规模不大，但如果你热爱历史、隐秘的景点以及美丽宁静的地方，绝对值得一游。
小贴士：建议早点去，光线最好，游客也少。注意观察周围的猴子！
