And the unique part about this bridge is that it is built entirely from rocks, bricks, and cement with no use of steel or metals throughout the structure. The bridge was commissioned in 1941 and the story goes that as the bridge was being planned World War I broke out.

The waters here are sheltered, clear and blue. Some say the beach is shaped like a banana, although most would probably call it a crescent.
Golf in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka a production Destination with Comparative Advantages
With cheaper labour than China and good access to key trade routes, Sri Lanka has clear potential as an alternative production base, despite its relatively small workforce. It may prove of particular interest to Hong Kong companies eyeing the South Asian, the Middle East and European markets. Sri Lanka’s investment environment is relatively liberalised by comparison to a number of other Asian economies. Wholly foreign‐owned enterprises (WFOEs), for instance, are sanctioned in most sectors already opened to foreign direct investment (FDI), though many foreign investors have opted for forming joint ventures (JV) with local partners. Only a few specified manufacturing areas, such as military hardware and aircraft, are regulated and subject to government approval. Other than these sectors, foreign manufacturers are essentially free to establish WFOEs.

It had more than 170 aircraft movements per day, including an average of more than 60 movements of heavy aircraft per day in 2018. The existing six million-passenger terminal currently handles over 10 million passengers per year.
