Where is it good in Asia in summer. Exotic Asia: all colors of June

Asia is islands, temples, a colorful kaleidoscope of exotic fruits, kindly decorated elephants, fussy and smart 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 over to each other. into a friend. Do you want to visit the most beautiful places in Asia? Then here are 10 countries, 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. Everything is here: lazy beach vacation, interesting excursions, picturesque nature, rich nightlife with parties, cocktails and Thai piquancy (well, you know what we are about). There are so many resorts that you can go to a new one every year. Pattaya, the islands of Phuket and Samui are larger and Phi Phi, Ko-Mak are smaller, but in general, there is a whole scattering of islands, on each of which you can find whatever you want.

2. Vietnam

Holidays in Vietnam are inexpensive in terms of food, entertainment, etc. That is why European youth loves him, because here you can also surf and just relax lazily. The main resorts: Nha Trang, which is popular with active tourists, Phan Thiet, which is quieter, for which couples with children love it, and Phukok, for those who love luxury vacation... From entertainment: excursions to National parks, boat trips to the islands, all sorts of unusual activities for us (like a trip on ostriches), as well as more familiar ones - for example, the Winperl Amusement Park on the island of the same name.

3. Sri Lanka

As many antiquities as there are in the legendary Ceylon, you are unlikely to be able to find anywhere else. Here is the ancient Sigir - majestic mountain, decorated with a giant lion statue, and Dambulla with the largest collection of Buddha statues, and Kandy - the ancient residence of the rulers, and Anuradhapura with a long history and the sacred Bodhi tree. And this is not the whole list, but we have not yet said a word about the wonderful quiet beaches with red sunsets, against which the silhouettes of local fishermen darken, sitting on special poles right in the sea.

4. China

Relatively recently, we learned that in China, in addition to the Great Wall of China and Pikin, there is seaside resorts... Meanwhile, the island of Hainan (also called "Eastern Hawaii") is very popular, both among the Chinese themselves and among Russian tourists... Rest here can be called calm. For those who get bored on the beach, we recommend going on a couple of excursions and looking at the life and traditions of local residents - whether the tribes and Miao, or to heal in healing springs.

5. India

If you want to visit the sea, then Goa and Kerala are waiting for you. Go-for a hangout in the north and complete relaxation in the south. We can say that this is not even India, but “little Portugal”, everything is quite modern, there is not much local flavor, but there is a special atmosphere brought here by hippies: freedom, parties on the beach and so on. Kerala will appeal to those who want to get acquainted with Ayurveda, there are many centers of Indian medicine and yoga schools. There is also the famous golden triangle "Delhi-Agra-Jaipur", the city of Varanasi, Mumbai and many other cities, which are interesting to travel alone, but not at all safe.

6. Indonesia

In order to understand how you can really relax on vacation, go to Bali or Java, or Sumatra, in general, to one of the beautiful islands of Indonesia, where peace and tranquility reigns against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean. See temples, play with 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 establishments and several surfing schools fully compensate for your desire to be active.

7. Malaysia

If you are an adherent of beach holidays, then here you can get enough of it: the islands of Penang, Langkawi and Sipadan are simply created in order to enjoy the sea and the sun. And if you want to walk around the metropolis, be sure to visit Kuala Lumpur, where you can visit the Bird Park, the famous Petronas Twin Towers and look into a couple of nightclubs.

8. Singapore

People usually visit Singapore in transit, because for a transit visit to the country (you have as much as 96 hours) you do not need a visa. During this time, you can visit the minimum must see, which is enough to form an opinion about the country. Visit Clar Key Quay in the dark to drown in the lights, look into Botanical Garden and, of course, don't forget to take a couple of photos at the legendary rooftop pool at Marina Bay Sands with stunning views.

9.South Korea

This country is gaining more and more popularity among tourists. Getting here, one gets the impression of a leap into the future: the modern architecture of Seoul, the availability of Wi-Fi almost everywhere and a lot of newfangled entertainment. But history buffs will also find a lot of interesting things for themselves: royal palaces the Joseon dynasty, temples and fortresses. And here you can also improve your health and undergo diagnostics on modern equipment at a relatively low cost.

10. Philippines

A trip to the wonderland, of course, will cost a pretty penny, but it is worth spending money to plunge into ancient Eastern traditions. Visit the healers' 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 you can add your own.

An emerging beach resort in Cambodia

Expectations

Having wandered around Angkor, tourists often rush to the sea; the most famous Cambodian beach resort- Sihanoukville, but is gradually gaining momentum and located near the Vietnamese border Kep.

Reality

In a Cambodian village, the main thing is not the beach (although there is a kilometer strip of sand) - here an inner child suddenly wakes up in a tourist, forcing a person to climb the surrounding hills and ride rented bicycles until their legs hurt.

Do not miss

The main thing in Kepe and around is the ruins, however, not as ancient as Angkor. In the first half of the 20th century, they tried to turn the place into a resort; later the idea was abandoned, and the villas remained, overgrown with vines and today look like fragments of surrealist works. The most impressive structures are located at a kilometer height on Mount Bokor located relatively nearby: a century-old church and casino, which have not been used for their intended purpose for about as long as they exist.

Souvenirs

The spices are white and black pepper, produced in the neighboring province of Kampot.

Chiang Mai

Alternative to Bangkok, Pattaya and other Thai destinations on edge

Expectations

Largest city in the north of Thailand; from the point of view of a tourist from the Russian Federation, Chiang Mai relates to Bangkok in about the same way as Petersburg to Moscow.

Reality

If we talk about the landscape, then Chiang Mai is much more interesting than the capital: there are mountains around here, including, for example, the highest peak in the country. Standard activities like trips to tigers and orchid gardens are on offer, but overall the atmosphere is much more serene than Bangkok.

Do not miss

Both in the city itself (mainly on the territory fenced off by the old city wall) and in the surrounding area there are enough temples, in addition, it makes sense to look at the life of the inhabitants of the surrounding villages - for example, long-necked ones.

Souvenir

Chiang Mai is the center of the Thai timber industry. From here it makes sense to carry wooden trinkets or buy furniture if you need to furnish an apartment in Moscow in an exotic style.

Jeju

The main South Korean resort by the sea

Expectations

The largest island in South Korea, also known as "Island of the Gods", "Island of the newlyweds" and "Korean Hawaii". In addition, a sex resort, the description of which in numerous catalogs is confirmed by photographs of candid figurines surrounded by green spaces.

Reality

Jeju is primarily 1800 square kilometers incredible nature. Colored sand beaches, waterfalls, a lake in the crater of the extinct Hallasan volcano (the latter, by the way, is highest point in South Korea and protected by UNESCO).

Do not miss

Locals believe that Hallasan is, in fact, Jeju, so guests simply have to make an attempt to climb the summit. There are five main routes, their duration is from four to ten kilometers. Other attractions include an authentic Korean village and a garden of those very indecent sculptures that you should definitely take a photo with in an embrace if you are newlyweds. And of course, you must see the less indecent haruban - a stone grandfather carved in lava.

Souvenirs

Clothes made of brown fabric, dyed in the traditional way - persimmon juice; citrus wine.

Fukuoka

An easy way to experience modern Japan at its finest

Expectations

Modern seaport located in the south of Japan - on the island of Kyushu.

Reality

Fukuoka fans of traditional Japanese architecture are unlikely to be interested. But for those who first decided to visit Japan, this settlement is ideal - it is a relatively small and easy-to-move city in which something is constantly happening: festivals, sumo tournaments and other cultural, sports and entertainment events.

Do not miss

Nishi Park, which overlooks both the city and the ocean, is considered one of the best places in Kyushu to observe cherry blossoms. Fukuoka can also be viewed from the observation deck of the "Mirror Sail", a skyscraper built in the late 1980s, located at an altitude of 120 meters. If you are tired of the city, you can get out to one of the beaches, which are enough in the vicinity.

Souvenirs

The Donguri Kyowakoku store sells Miyazaki plush cartoon characters and other Ghibli-related souvenirs (even though the studio itself is based in Tokyo).

Manila

Capital of the Philippines not to be ignored on the way to the islands

Expectations

There is a point of view that, once in Manila, a tourist should get out of there as soon as possible. Capital and one of largest cities The Philippines is just a staging post on the way to the paradise islands, and besides, it is also unfriendly.

Reality

The so-called Pearl of the East really loses out in comparison with other Asian metropolises, but it is very worth staying in it for a few days: in addition to slums and ultra-modern shopping centers, you can find here quiet and unusual areas suitable for walking.

Do not miss

Intramuros is a city built by Spanish colonists back in the 16th century and is now historic center Manila. It is also worth spending a couple of quietest hours at the Chinese cemetery, where the size of the crypts compete with the size of the mansions on Rublyovka. The main thing is not to end up at interchange stations in the metro during rush hour: the path between the two platforms can take 40 minutes.

Souvenirs

See-through baro shirts or a selection of taglish romance novels from numerous bookstores for about a dollar each.

Kota Kinabalu

The main city of the Malaysian island of Borneo

Expectations

For Malaysians, Kota Kinabalu is a rapidly developing commercial center (business districts are built on land reclaimed from the sea), for tourists it is the entry point from which a journey around the island of Borneo begins.

Reality

Like the Philippine Manila, this entry point may well claim to be a destination. Kota Kinabalu is a mixture of cultures and religions (the city boasts towers of glass and metal, one of the most picturesque mosques, and a 12-tier pagoda), old and new, natural and man-made.

Do not miss

Divers should definitely see the sunken ships near Borneo with their own eyes; There are several of them, but one of the most famous is the Gaya Wreck - a ship lying at a depth of 50 meters (most likely, Japanese, during the Second World War). Those who prefer to stay on land should pay attention to Mount Kinabalu - highest peak in Borneo.

Souvenirs

The state of Sabah, whose capital is Kota Kinabalu, is known for handicraft souvenirs such as mango wood products, woven bracelets and other such trinkets.

Guangzhou

Big Chinese metropolis and gastronomic paradise

Expectations

The third largest city in the PRC with a population of 13 million. It does not suffer from a shortage of visitors, but guests come here mainly on business trips.

Reality

Guangzhou is one of the most progressive and modern Chinese cities, which does not mean that there are no historical monuments here. On the contrary, there are plenty of them - after all, this city, previously known to Europeans as Canton, was mentioned in chronicles as early as the third century BC.

Do not miss

It is Guangzhou that is the birthplace of Cantonese cuisine - the one that for many Europeans represents almost all Chinese culinary traditions; the city is said to be the world leader in the number of restaurants per capita today. Therefore, visiting temples, walking in parks and excursion to observation deck the TV tower (built, by the way, on the basis of the ideas of Vladimir Shukhov), of course, will have to alternate with feasts.

Souvenir

Tea, for which it is better to go to the market located near the Fangcun subway station (those who know Chinese will be able to talk with the vendors and taste the drink).

Dalat

French mountain resort in the middle of Vietnam

Expectations

Dalat is called the Vietnamese Alps - the city is located at an altitude of one and a half to two kilometers, surrounded by lakes, hills and pine forests.

Reality

Dalat is the most non-Vietnamese city in Vietnam both in terms of climate (cooler than most of the country) and atmosphere. The height is responsible for the first point, for the second - the fact that the French more than a century ago decided to build a resort here with all the inherent joys: golf, tennis, horse riding and so on. Later the colonists left, but Dalat, in contrast to the Cambodian Kep, was well preserved.

Do not miss

Crazy House is a surreal gray concrete guesthouse built by a Vietnamese woman who was educated in Russia. Previously, Russian tourists were allowed on excursions for free, but now the hostess complains about the influx of Russians and asks for money for the entrance - however, as elsewhere in the country, small. Of course, Crazy House is difficult to consider the main symbol of Dalat, but against the background of the city's light European stiffness, it seems doubly insane and all the more attractive.

Souvenirs

Candied fruits, fruit wine and other local agricultural products.

Taipei

Cultural, industrial, educational and de facto center of Taiwan

Expectations

Child of Taiwanese economic miracle, one of the most modern Asian metropolises and capital Republic of China, states with a controversial status.

Reality

Today's Taipei is primarily an economic, industrial and educational center. The heroine of Luc Besson's latest film "Lucy" is engaged in education in this city. Speaking of cinematography, the Golden Horse Award at the Taipei Film Festival is sometimes called the Chinese equivalent of the Oscar. In other words, the cultural life in the capital of Taiwan is more than fine.

Do not miss

The symbol of Taipei - Taipei 101 - is almost impossible to miss. This is a 509 meter high skyscraper (until recently it was a record holder, but in 2010 it was overtaken by the Burj Khalifa built in Dubai) with a giant shopping center at the foot. If you are tired of man-made beauties, you should visit Taiwan, located in the northern part of the island. national park Taroko and look at the 19 km long Marble Gorge.

Souvenir

Some new electronic device - necessary or not.

Busan

Largest Korean port with beaches and luxury hotels

Expectations

One of the largest in the world and the largest port in South Korea. Locality has existed on this site since the 3rd century, but today the dominant component in the landscape of Busan is skyscrapers.

Reality

Most tourists prefer to spend time in Haeundae - an area located in the east of the city with a minimum of Korean specifics and a good (according to some sources, the best in South Korea) beach.

Do not miss

Very scenic Buddhist temples Pomos and Yengunsa - the first is located in the mountains, the second - by the sea. Pomosa offers educational programs for all interested, which means that participants will spend the night in the temple premises in order to become more familiar with the everyday life of the monks. In addition, it is quite difficult to pass by attractions like the UN Memorial Cemetery, designed to remind locals and tourists of the Korean War. If you wish, you can also get out of town and go to a fishing village - not for the sake of buying fish (this can be done in Busan itself, where there are huge fish markets), but in order to stand by the sea with a fishing rod.

Souvenir

Since this is a port, you can buy anything you want, and cheaper. There is an area called "Texas" with a lot of shops, the former USSR, so at least a can of sprat can become a souvenir.

Hello everyone!

This is my first post on Gossip, and I decided to write it because I really love travel and Asia and it seems to me that the site lacks posts about tourism, beautiful places in the world, etc.

Traditionally, I ask you not to judge strictly, as well as to understand and forgive))

So, a variation on "Top 10 Places in Asia to See". You can this summer, you can anytime.

10. Taitung, Taiwan

He is Taitung, Taidong, 台 東 in Chinese.

The coastal town of Taitung has a modest charm that takes days to unfold. Pacific Ocean, mountains, traditions, temples, cultural diversity and the strong influence of local folk color create a very special atmosphere here. The streets of Taitung smell of sea and incense, life flows slowly here. The relaxed atmosphere attracts Taiwanese bohemians, some of whom have settled here and set up small cafes or do art. There is always something to do here, be it a concert by a local pop band or the most significant event of the year, the Paper Lantern Festival, which has been held since 1954 around the time of the Lunar New Year. In summer, the Taiwanese international festival balloons. In the surrounding area you can find activities such as whale watching, surfing or visiting the hot springs.

9. Meghalaya, India

The mountainous state of Meghalaya, also referred to as the "Cloud Abode", separates the Assam Valley and the plains of Bangladesh. This is a cool area, on rocky mountains where fir trees grow. The townships of Cherrapunji and Mosinram are statistically some of the wettest places on the planet; most of the rainfall falls here from June to September, creating spectacular waterfalls as well as carving caves that are some of the longest in Asia. The population of the state is mainly composed of the Jainthia, Hasi and Garo tribes, who live in the eastern, central and western parts state respectively. Autumn, when the four-day Wangala Festival takes place in the Garo Mountains, is good time to visit Meghalaya.

8. Islands of Trang province, Thailand

South of Krabi in the Andaman Sea is Trang province, which includes several magnificent islands. For those who love adventure, rich nature - dozens of waterfalls and limestone caves. Transport connection improves from year to year. V high season you can easily get to Malaysia by moving from one island to another.

7. Pemuteran, Indonesia

This is a popular oasis in the northwest part of Bali, there are several resorts that are located on the shores of a small bay. Most of the tourists who come here go for scuba diving and snorkeling off Menjangan Island. Singaraja-Gilimanuk Street is the main artery of the town. Here you can find many shops and travel agencies that are geared towards visitors.

6. Ipoh, Malaysia

Ipoh is undergoing a quiet revival. This pretty town has become a convenient stopover for tourists on the way from Kuala Lumpur to Penang. A resurgent enthusiasm for Ipoh's heritage is now allowing old shops to be rebuilt, and new cafes are opening in historic buildings. The hotel chain is also growing - from humble hostels to luxury hotels.

5. Hong Kong, China

Hong Kong welcomes its guests with signature skyscrapers and legendary cuisine, but has also prepared a surprise - rich nature, which is strictly protected by law, and rare birds. The quays of Victoria Bay, in the waters of which you can often see a junk with red sails, look like they were made for filming. Walking the streets of Kowloon Island, you will see a lot of banks and shops of the most famous brands. It is worth visiting the island of Lantau, where you can get there by cable car. Here, on a hill, there is a huge statue of Buddha and a breathtaking view of the surrounding islets opens up. Before sunset, do not forget to climb Victoria Peak and enjoy the view of the bay, on the banks of which the lights of the skyscrapers are lit up. And kids will surely appreciate Disneyland and Ocean Park.

4. Con Dao Islands, Vietnam

These islands can be called the jewels of Vietnam. The place where political prisoners used to be exiled is now gaining more and more popularity among tourists due to its magnificent nature. Kon Son, the largest of the 15 islands, has beautiful beaches, coral reefs, beautiful bays and dense forests. In addition to hiking, scuba diving, coastal roads and deserted beaches, rare wildlife can be observed here. Almost 80% of the island's territory is occupied by a national park.

3. Jeonju, South Korea

The city is known as the birthplace of the Korean Joseon Dynasty, as well as one of the country's most famous dishes, bibimbap (boiled rice and meat, fresh vegetables, fried egg and hot sauce). In the central part of the city, there are ancient hanok buildings, where museums, teahouses and workshops are now located.

2. Shanghai, China

If you are looking for the center of the world, this is the place for you) It seems that the city's 24 million inhabitants have made it their goal to have a good time. Ballroom dancing in the park, tasting rare sorts of tea in tea houses, lunch of Chinese dumplings in vinegar sauce - scenes from the everyday life of this metropolis. Great cocktails and craft beers can be found in the rooftop bars. And it shows how international the city has become. But old Shanghai is always close by. Life flows between the lines of old "chicoumen" houses in the French Concession area, while the Art Deco buildings still stand on the Bund. The first Disneyland in mainland China opens here this year.

1. Hokkaido, Japan

The magnificent "powder" on the Hokkaido mountains provided the island with a place on tourist map the world. Wild mountain landscapes ask to be explored on foot or by bike. You will also find alpine villages and seafood freshly caught from the sea and served to your table. Thanks to high speed trains from Tokyo, Hokkaido has become much more accessible lately.

Updated 24/07/16 16:01:

Based on materials from Lonely Planet

When the cold comes, people want warmth, and the granted new year holidays or a winter vacation offer an unimaginable chance to go on a winter trip to warm countries... Often, organizing your vacation on your own is more profitable than buying a tour from a travel agency, not only from a financial point of view, but also because on your own you can budget to combine different interesting places and even countries.

If you are organizing a trip yourself and want to spend it on the most budgetary basis, then most of the Asian countries for winter holiday fit perfectly. But it is extremely important to choose not only the right country, but also the right holiday area: it also happens that on some islands the season is only on one of the coasts.

First, you need to determine what type of vacation you are interested in.

• Family (if you want to take a break from the hustle and bustle and enjoy safe rest with your family and children on the best beaches in Asia)
• Active (if you want to see more sights and discover incredible, memorable views)
• Honeymoon trip (romantic getaway for two - what could be more beautiful?)

For family vacation perfect fit:

Thailand (Phuket, Koh Samui, Krabi)

Thailand has long been known to everyone, this is one of the most popular destinations for rest for Russians. But it is worth noting that for a family vacation, it is best to organize a tour to Phuket, Koh Samui and Krabi. It is in these places that safety prevails, you can note the high quality of tourist service and you do not even need to know well English: after all, most Thais have adapted to Russian tourists, and here you can hear Russian speech not only from vacationers from Russia. Cheap food, soft sand, calm entry and clear water- that's what you need for a comfortable family vacation.

Vietnam (Phu Quoc Island)

The future of tourist Vietnam for family vacations is Phu Quoc Island. It differs in many ways from the standard resorts in Vietnam: the season in Fukuoka is year-round, but depends on the choice of the coast. The island is small but interesting. A beach holiday here goes well with exploring the island as a whole. Traffic on the streets is calm, and deception in tourist areas is much less common than in mainstream Vietnam. Comfortable accommodation at affordable prices, a large selection of restaurants within walking distance, wide and long beaches, calm entry into the water and clear water: this is what Phu Quoc means. As in most of the island resorts, prices are insignificant, but higher than standard prices in popular resorts in Vietnam (Nha Trang, Mui Ne). But there are still not so many vacationers here, and therefore the rest will be even more comfortable.

Singapore

Most safe place for recreation you simply cannot find - everything is so well organized in this city. Singapore is not only a Sentosa Island beach holiday, but also plenty of entertainment for your family and children alike: zoos, shows, amusement parks - whatever your heart desires. The only negative is expensive.

Myanmar (Ngapali)

This is a marvelous paradise that is always forgotten. Gorgeous wide beaches, safe entry into the water, clear and transparent water - the beach is considered one of the best in the world. There are absolutely no waves during the season. You can find yourself good hotel at the best prices. There are not many tourists, which makes the beach even more secluded.

Sri Lanka (Hikkaduwa)

Sri Lanka is still quite a wild country, where the value for money for holidays does not match others. Asian countries, but in Hikkaduwa - the most tourist spot for such a holiday - you can find for yourself perfect place... There are many comfortable and inexpensive hotels near the beach. Beach line not so wide, but there are practically no waves here. And every morning you can admire the giant sea turtles for free.

For active rest perfect fit:

Cambodia (Siem Reap)

One of the most incredible places in the world is hidden in this country. Most people fear it as wild and incredibly poor, but despite this, Cambodia is the very first tip to visit among travelers. Here in Siem Reap is the world's most incredible temple complex Angkor - ancient temples for kilometers. When you get to these temples, you wonder - how did the Khmers manage to build it like that? This wonder of the world is definitely worth a visit.

It is worth spending more than one month on this country: so many beauties are hidden in China. Here is the Great Wall of China, the incredible nature of the Huashan Mountains, the Huanglong Nature Reserve, amazing zoos, incredible cities and much more. Minus - in one trip you can have time to see only a small part of China, as you can get from one beautiful place the other is complex and takes a very long time.

Indonesia (Java)

For lovers of travel, the island of Java is a real boon. As you know, there are about 120 volcanoes on the island: locals it is difficult to live on a powder keg. And to visit this island, watch the sunrise overlooking the Bromo volcano and climb to its top, see the ancient temples of Borobudur in the rays of the dawn sun is worth a lot. And the blue lights of the Ijen volcano? Its hot blue flame lava makes you wonder what planet you are on. And even the most picky traveler will like it.

Sri Lanka (center of the island)

Forget about the places where the tours are sold in Sri Lanka. The beauty of this island is hidden in the depths. It is worth taking a trip from Colombo to a place called Nuwaru Eilia and seeing the most beautiful views from the window, and then visit tea plantations, waterfalls and the incredible nature of the center of this island. Remember, Sri Lanka is not so much a beach vacation as a quest for adventure. There are also ancient temples, wild tribes, safaris, you can see real blue whales at the time of their migration: Sri Lanka is a place where you cannot sit still, and where there is a lot to see.

Myanmar (Bagan)

It is not for nothing that Pagan is called the city of a thousand pagodas. It's hard to find such a place in the world. Here you can easily become the discoverer of some still unknown lost pagoda. And at dawn, dozens of balloons rise into the sky: and this view at dawn is beautiful both from the heights of the pagodas and from the balloons themselves.

Suitable for a honeymoon:

Many people dream of the Maldives, imagining small islands with white sand and perfectly clear water, but stop themselves with the thought that it is incredibly expensive. In fact, with the right travel arrangements, the Maldives can be very budget-friendly for this level of resort. Therefore, you can definitely choose the Maldives for a secluded honeymoon trip.

Thailand (islands)

Dreams of a secluded getaway at budget prices can come true when you choose islands in Thailand. Most of the islands are comfortably open only for daytime visits, but no one bothers you to choose Phuket, Krabi or Koh Samui for your main holiday, and from there you can explore the most diverse and most romantic islands.

The Philippines is extremely diverse in the choice of islands for holidays - islands of lovers, such as Panay, but for the most part here is a paradise for divers and lovers of incredible nature - Bushuanga, Siagara, Coron, and therefore Honeymoon on paradise islands becomes fun and memorable. Although the islands are small, here you can enjoy solitude with nature and each other.

The ones already told are also ideal. O. Phu Quoc (Vietnam), Ngapoli (Myanmar),- not yet promoted, and therefore secluded and romantic resorts.

Asia is very diverse and colorful in terms of culture, religion, nature. Lost islands, exotic fruits, spiritual centers and low prices are just a few of what attracts tourists to this part of the world. How not to get confused in such a variety and choose the best place for relaxation, we will explain in this article.
