Top 10 Travel Destinations In Asia
If you're looking to travel to Asia, a vibrant and growing continent, you're going to want to read this list, and use it as a point of reference to begin your holiday planning!Infamous for the Bali Bombings in 2002, Bali has reshaped itself with tighter security to prevent any such incidents from happening. Bali offers beautiful resorts unlike any other Southeast Asian country (comparable to beaches in Thailand and Cambodia perhaps).
A natural place where the sound, space, time, people, and culture will vibrate your heart into the deepest place.
Known as the most technologically advanced city in the world, Tokyo offers beautiful skyscrapers, iconic buildings, mouth-watering sushi bars, karaoke bars, clubs, shopping malls, and so much more!
Although very recognizable, many tourists go to Chiang Mai for the wrong reasons. Its culture is, at its lowest, still a shining beacon of beauty for the Thai people, who hold annual festivities such as the lantern festival known as "Loi Krathong" (try pronouncing this in Thai. They'll love you for it!).
Although the golden shine of the temple Phrathat Doi Suthep will leave you blind, your eyes won't crucify you because they would have just seen a magnificent sight.
Best things to do:
Spend all day adventure-hopping around the island through their boat trips, sailing, surfing, diving, snorkeling, horseback riding, and mountain biking with all facilities at your fingertips. The fun doesn't end at sunset in Boracay. Nightly entertainments like fire dancing, boat rides at sunset, and many bars and restaurants are open till evening.
Suit yourself with the choice of international cuisine of Thai, Chinese, Korean, German, Indian, Italian, Spanish, and more served daily in their finest restaurants.
It's beautiful. People are charming, and hospitality is good. Paragliding and boating are fun in Pokhara.
Nepal is the best destination.
In almost all the lists on the Internet, Siem Reap ranks #1 as the top destination in Asia. Siem Reap is a popular destination because Angkor Wat, a vast and complex temple structure, is situated there. Though over 1 million tourists visit the monument each year, the temple keeps its peaceful ambiance, allowing introspective thoughts to foster.
Leave about 1-2 days to completely explore Angkor Wat and maybe another day to explore the Bayon Temples, a temple structure that features about 50 carved faces of the 12th-century Khmer King.
At night, the city of Siem Reap buzzes, with many different markets, bars, clubs, hotels, and resorts lining up to serve you. Definitely visit Siem Reap and Angkor Wat if you want an affordable, yet mind-blowing holiday.
Visit Siem Reap during the Khmer New Year and enjoy the vibrant atmosphere that the city has to offer, with parades, festivals, and many cheap bargains!
Macau is home to the growing fashion industry of Asia, as well as a casino everywhere you look. Mainland Chinese people often visit Macau to try their luck in these well-known casinos.
If you love shopping and fashion, then you'll love the duty-free shopping center (mall) "Shoppes Cotai" that offers Asia's finest and newest fashion labels. The entire mall has been engineered to be an aesthetic appreciation of Venice. The stores resemble Venetian architecture, the ceilings resemble the skies, and a long canal of water runs through the middle of the beautiful hallways. You can even pay to enjoy a calm and soothing gondola ride after a long day of shopping.
Though Macau may seem pricey, it is definitely worth spoiling yourself!
Beijing is famous for the ancient palace, the Forbidden City, resided by the former Ming Dynasty, which was once regarded as illegal to enter. Now, it is a famous tourist attraction. Although the weather is dull, the architecture of the palace is stunning. Hey, if it was once forbidden to enter, it must be good! Right?
Dubai is definitely a city that crosses traditional Arab culture with modern city life, as well as a hint of beach life. The city offers grand infrastructures and beautiful hotels. The famous man-made islands that resemble the continents of the Earth are also a very popular destination, as well as the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building (2012).
If you love architecture, culture, and peace, the Taj Mahal of Agra is a must-see (after Angkor Wat, of course). The Taj Mahal only needs a day to explore, so it is definitely achievable to visit.
Named after the Cambodian King, Samdech Norodom Sihanouk, the city is famous for being the beach city of Cambodia. Hotels are as cheap as $15 for a luxury suite in a resort but can be as expensive as $60. Restaurants are famous for their fresh seafood and come with reasonable prices.
The bars and clubs light up the beachside at night and stalls open for the sale of street food. The beaches are just as vibrant during the day as they are at night and can offer both a relaxing and exciting experience.
Just a 30-minute drive from Sihanoukville is the province of Kampot. There, you can purchase fresh seafood to cook or cooked seafood. Garnish it with Kampot's famous pepper and other spices that the Cambodians are famous for.
