Living There
From exotic wildlife to unique manmade and natural wonders, Asia and Australasia have some incredible sights. Here are a few things you should try to get to if you’re travelling in this part of the world.
Enjoying your trip
An exotic excursion is often the trip of a lifetime. However, the culture clash can be a bit of a shock. To try to help put homesickness out of your mind it is a good idea to make sure you stay in accommodation with a few home comforts. The key facility is wireless internet, fast enough for you to catch up with friends and play your favourite web games, like those over at OnlineCasinoBluebook.
Taj Mahal, India
One of the most famous sights in the world, the Taj Mahal should not be missed if you’re traveling in India. The monument is best viewed early in the mornings, as this is before large groups of tourists arrive by bus.
Ang Thong Marine Park,
The beautiful Marine sanctuary in the Southeast Asian country of Thailand was the inspiration for the novel The Beach. The area features pristine, white sand beaches and a turquoise lagoon. Ferry rides from the mainland docks of Koh Samui take around an hour to reach the park.
Vitoria Harbour, Hong Kong
A stroll along the Avenue of Stars in Hong Kong will lead you to the Victoria Harbour. The area is a spectacular sight at night with the water reflecting the bright lights of the extravagant cityscape for which Hong Kong is famous. Visitors can take a tour of the harbour on red sailed junk boats.
The Perhentian Islands, Malaysia
Perhaps the most paradisiacal beaches in the whole of Asia, the Perhentian Islands are located Malaysia. In addition to sandy beaches and warm, tropical waters, the coastline also features luxuriant vegetation and relatively untouched scenery. The Islands can be accessed via boat from Kota Bharu.
Meiji Shrine, Japan
The Japanese capital of Tokyo is renowned for being one of the most technologically advanced countries in the world; however, it is one of the more traditional sites in the region that is perhaps the most alluring. The Meiji Shrine is a serene Buddhist temple, it features classic Japanese architecture and a 200 acre park within the grounds.
Tonda Wildlife Management Area, Papua New Guinea
If you’re in Australasia then the Tonda Wildlife Management Area is well worth a visit. The 2,300 square meter area of wetland is a magnificent sight and is inhabited by plenty of wildlife, including birds of paradise, water birds and Saltwater Crocodiles.
