Asia is islands, temples, a colorful kaleidoscope of exotic fruits, kind painted elephants, fussy and intelligent monkeys, the sea, the sun, palm trees... In general, Asia is a whole philosophy, time flows smoothly, nothing passes without a trace, everything is reborn and flows into each other into a friend. Do you want to visit the most beautiful places Asia? Then here are 10 countries, after visiting which you will no longer be able to live as before.
1. Thailand
This country has won the laurels of the most popular resort destination for our compatriots. It has everything: a lazy beach holiday, interesting excursions, picturesque nature, a vibrant nightlife with parties, cocktails and Thai specialties (well, you get what we mean). There are so many resorts here that you can go to a new one every year. Pattaya, the islands of Phuket and Samui are larger, and Phi Phi, Koh Mak are smaller, but in general, there is a whole scattering of islands, on each of which you can find everything you want.
2. Vietnam
Holidays in Vietnam are inexpensive in terms of costs for food, entertainment, etc. This is why European youth love it, because you can also surf here and just relax lazily. Main resorts: Nha Trang, which I like active tourists, Phan Thiet - quieter, for which couples with children love it, and Phu Coc - for those who love luxury holiday. Entertainment: excursions to national parks, boat trips to the islands, all sorts of unusual activities for us (like a ride on ostriches), as well as more familiar ones - for example, the Vinpearl Amusement Park on the island of the same name.
3. Sri Lanka
You will hardly be able to find as many antiquities as there are in legendary Ceylon anywhere else. Here is the ancient Sigirya - majestic mountain, decorated giant statue lion, and Dambulla with the largest collection of Buddha statues, and Kandy - the ancient residence of rulers, and Anuradhapura with a long history and the sacred Bodhi tree. And this is not the entire list, but we have not yet said a word about the wonderful quiet beaches with red sunsets, against which the dark silhouettes of local fishermen sit on special poles right in the sea.
4. China
Relatively recently, we learned that in China, in addition to the Great Chinese wall and Pikina is seaside resorts. Meanwhile, Hainan Island (also called “ East Hawaii") is very popular, both among the Chinese themselves and among Russian tourists. Holidays here can be called relaxing. For those who get bored on the beach, we recommend going on a couple of excursions and looking at the life and traditions of the local residents - the Li and Miao tribes - or healing in healing springs.
5. India
If you want to visit the sea, then Goa and Kerala are waiting for you. Goa is for partying in the north and complete relaxation in the south. You can say that this is not even India, but “little Portugal”, everything is quite modern, there is not much local color, but there is a special atmosphere that hippies brought here: freedom, parties on the beach and all that. Kerala will appeal to those who want to get acquainted with Ayurveda; there are many Indian medicine centers and yoga schools. There is also the famous golden triangle “Delhi-Agra-Jaipur”, the city of Varanasi, Mumbai and many other cities where traveling alone is interesting, but not at all safe.
6. Indonesia
To understand how you can really relax on vacation, go to Bali or Java or Sumatra, in general, one of beautiful islands Indonesia, where calm and tranquility reigns against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean. See the temples, play with the monkeys. And if you want parties, clubs and entertainment, then, for example, Balinese Kuta is more than enough for you: a whole street of entertainment venues and several schools for teaching surfing will fully compensate for your desire for activity.
7. Malaysia
If you are a fan of beach holidays, then here you can get plenty of it: the islands of Penang, Langkawi and Sipadan are simply created for enjoying the sea and the sun. And if you want to take a walk around the metropolis, be sure to visit Kuala Lumpur, where you can visit the Bird Park, the famous Petronas Twin Towers and check out a couple of nightclubs.
8. Singapore
People usually visit Singapore while passing through, because for a transit visit to the country (you have a full 96 hours) you do not need a visa. During this time, you will be able to visit the minimum must see, which is enough to form an opinion about the country. Visit Clar Quay at night to drown in the lights, check out Botanical Garden and, of course, don't forget to take a photo or two at the iconic rooftop pool at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, with its stunning panorama.
9. South Korea
This country is becoming more and more popular among tourists. When you get here, you get the impression of jumping into the future: modern architecture Seoul, Wi-Fi availability almost everywhere and a lot of newfangled entertainment. But history buffs will also find a lot of interesting things for themselves: royal palaces Joseon Dynasty, temples and fortresses. Here you can also improve your health and get diagnosed modern equipment relatively inexpensive.
10. Philippines
A trip to Wonderland, of course, will cost a pretty penny, but it’s worth the money to immerse yourself in ancient Eastern traditions. Attend the healing ceremony, appreciate the heritage of the Spanish conquistadors, admire the urban beauty of Manila, buy a couple of real pearl necklaces and conquer the Mayon volcano - here is a short list of things that you can add to yours.
