Famous for its lush green tea plantations and plentiful white sand beaches, this South Asian island is located off the coast of India. Which country is it?
Answer Sri Lanka
The symbol of a lion for Sri Lanka dates back to 486 BC when Vijaya, the first King of Sri Lanka, arrived on the island from India and brought a standard depicting a lion. This symbol has lasted for more than 2000 years and is still on Sri Lanka's flag today.
