Asia Travel Guide: 302,667 reviews and 656,765 photos

Asia is the largest of the seven continents and lies almost entirely in the Northern Hemisphere. Including all the distant islands, it covers around 44,391,000 sq km (17,139,000 sq mi), which is around 30 percent of the world's total land area. The people of Asia account for three-fifths of the world's population. Asia is divided into 4 main regions: East Asia, which includes including Mongolia, Korea, China and Japan; Southeast Asia region which includes Thailand, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar (formerly known as Burma), Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore, Brunei and Indonesia. There are parts of the Middle East which are also included in the region under South Asia.

On this page, I have tried to include just a few places of interest within the countries that I have visited in Asia. More detail on these places, as well as many other "must see" places are shown in the individual country/city pages I have created. Asia is a diverse and fascinating continent which holds great appeal for me and I hope in the future to see many more of the countries included in this area.

Wow, such an extensive site on Asia. I'm glad that philippines was featured in two of your tips (Fort Santiago and Manila Cathedral). All the sites are historical and/or natural wonders and therefore not to be missed!
