Places to enjoy in Asian Continent 

Chiang Mai is one of the best places to visit in Thailand for nature lovers while Phuket is great for shopping lovers. Delhi’s local market is perfect for affordable outfits. Agra is the most admired by tourists for being the home to one of the seven wonders of the world, the Taj Mahal. Nepal is a perfect country for hiking and mountain lovers, people mostly love to go to see Annapurna mountain. Shiling Night market is Taipei’s biggest market.

 

There are many beautiful architectural and amazing malls located in Asia that attract many tourists. People can also see wildlife by visiting some of the wildlife sanctuaries such as Sagarmatha National Park, Nepal; Gir National Park, India; Jim Corbett National Park, India; Jigme Dorje National Park, Bhutan; Huai Kha Khaeng Wildlife Sanctuary, Thailand; Tanjung Putting National Park, Indonesia and many more.

I think these are more than enough reasons to the travelers and wanderers why Asia should be their next vacation destination. People love to see the places with uniqueness, beauty, stunning, different traditional donning outfit people, distinct taste edibles and rich in history and heritage and diverse in culture. Still, the questions stand are that despite so many qualities Asian places exhibits than why it is not on the first place of many tourists list of places they want to visit? Why it is not as popular a desiring destination to visit for many of the people as Europe?

Maybe because of the less awareness about the breathtaking places in Asia. I think the biggest reason is that Asian civilization needs to be more open to the tourists and less intrusive to them and make them feel comfortable and be more wide-minded about the tourists visiting their countries. We as citizens of Asia need to make it the most famous and celebrated destination for tourists to visit.

Let Asia shine!
