Asia
Writing one page about Asia is a silly thing to attempt. It holds more than half the people alive, and the distance from Tokyo to Istanbul is greater than from London to New York. Treat this as a doorway to the countries we have actually spent time in rather than a summary of anything. Asia has over 2,000 languages spoken and a wide range of religions practiced.
Whether you are looking for ancient temples cities, or dramatic scenery, Asia has so much to see.
Here are just a few of the many highlights of this amazing continent:
- Ancient temples: Asia is home to some of the best known ancient temples in the world, such as Angkor Wat in Cambodia, Borobudur in Indonesia, and the Taj Mahal in India.
- busy cities: Asia’s cities are among the most dense and exciting in the world, with a unique blend of ancient and modern cultures. Some of the most popular cities include Bangkok, Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul, and Hong Kong.
- Scenery: the Himalayas at one end and the beaches of Bali at the other, which is a fair measure of how little the word Asia narrows anything down. Other natural attractions include Ha Long Bay, and the Gobi Desert.
Culinary indulgences: Asia is also known for its delicious cuisines. The food changes completely every few hundred miles, and so does what counts as breakfast.
Diverse cultures: Asia is home to a wide range of cultures, each with its own unique customs and traditions. Japan has a tea ceremony with rules that take years to learn. India has festivals that close whole cities for days.
