Asia, Discover The Continent With Us
Until a few years ago, Asia seemed like an exotic destination and, above all, too far away to enjoy a vacation. But in recent times, more and more travelers decide to explore its culture, its history, its gastronomy. For this reason, we want to visit the most popular Asian countries with you.
Which Asian countries do you know?
If you are organizing an unforgettable trip to Asia, we recommend some of the most visited and most attractive countries … You can’t miss them!
1. China
The People’s Republic of China attracts the attention of millions of tourists from all over the world. Its great attraction is the famous wall, which you can visit in several of its sections.
But a country as huge as this has many interesting places. Only in Beijing do we recommend that you visit the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and Tiananmen Square. And, next to these places, the Terracotta warriors, the Lhasa temple, the Temple of Heaven, the West Lake and the Oriental Pearl tower are worthwhile.
2. Malaysia
Located in Southeast Asia, it is a country known for its beaches and tropical forests. Kuala Lumpur, its capital, is home to colonial buildings and skyscrapers such as the well-known Petronas Towers. In addition, you can visit the Batu Caves, Mount Kinabalu and the Taman Negara National Park.
3. Thailand
Destination “low cost” par excellence, it is a paradise for backpackers and for lovers of paradisiacal islands. The extreme chaos of its capital Bangkok can be replaced by the tranquility of Chiang Mai or Pha Ngan Island.
