Filled with rich history and brightly coloured architecture, every nook and corner of Asia are bound to give you your money’s worth whilst embarking on a full-filled adventure!
With Asia comes less spending money – it’s no wonder that our continent has been home to numerous backpackers and wanderers alike. What’s more, with its ease of transportation, getting from one place to another is definitely not a problem. Explains why we have been hearing numerous news of people succeeding in uncovering every part of Asia on a tight budget – seems impossible but definitely achievable.
There’s also more to Asia than the over sensationalised pop culture of Japanese and Korean boy bands, think beautiful landscapes, home to 9 of the world’s tallest buildings and of course, the various and colourful festivals we have ongoing every month of every year (think Songkran in Thailand and Holi in India).
Now, hop on over to our gallery and view 5 culturally rich places in Asia to visit. You might even plan your next trip a little earlier than expected.
