Sights of the Asian region

The name is of Assyrian origin and means “sunrise” or “east”, which is not surprising. Part of the world is distinguished by rich relief, mountains and peaks, including the highest peak of the world - Everest (Chomolungma), which is part of mountain system Himalayas. All are presented here natural areas and landscapes, on its territory there is the most deep lake peace – . Foreign Asian countries in recent years confidently lead in the number of tourists. Mysterious and incomprehensible to Europeans traditions, religious buildings, interweaving of ancient culture with the latest technologies attract curious travelers. It is impossible to list all the iconic sights of this region; we can only try to highlight the most famous.

Taj Mahal (India, Agra)

Romantic monument, symbol eternal love and the magnificent structure that makes people stand in awe - the Taj Mahal Palace, listed as one of the seven new wonders of the world. The mosque was erected by Tamerlane's descendant Shah Jahan in memory of deceased wife, who died in childbirth while giving birth to her 14th child. The Taj Mahal is recognized as the best example of Mughal architecture, incorporating Arabic, Persian and Indian architectural styles. The walls of the structure are lined with translucent marble and inlaid with gems. Depending on the lighting, the stone changes color, becoming pink at dawn, silver at dusk, and dazzling white at noon.

Mount Fuji (Japan)

This iconic place for Buddhists who profess Shintaism. The height of Fuji is 3776 m; in fact, it is a sleeping volcano that should not wake up in the coming decades. It is recognized as the most beautiful in the world. Tourist routes have been laid up the mountain, operating only in summer, since most Fuji is covered with eternal snow. The mountain itself and the “Five Fuji Lakes” area around it are included in the territory National Park Fuji-Hakone-Izu.

Largest architectural ensemble the world stretches across Northern China for 8860 km (including branches). Construction of the Wall took place in the 3rd century BC. and had the goal of protecting the country from the Xiongnu conquerors. The construction project dragged on for a decade, about a million Chinese worked on it and thousands died from exhausting labor in inhumane conditions. All this served as a reason for the uprising and overthrow of the Qin dynasty. The wall fits extremely organically into the landscape; it follows all the curves of the spurs and depressions, encircling the mountain range.

Borobodur Temple (Indonesia, Java)

Among the rice plantations of the island rises an ancient giant structure in the form of a pyramid - the largest and most revered Buddhist temple in the world, 34 m high. There are steps and terraces that encircle it leading up. From the point of view of Buddhism, Borobodur is nothing more than a model of the Universe. Its 8 tiers mark 8 steps to enlightenment: the first is the world of sensual pleasures, the next three are the world of yogic trance that has risen above base lust. Rising higher, the soul is cleansed of all vanity and gains immortality in the heavenly sphere. The top step personifies nirvana - a state of eternal bliss and peace.

Golden Buddha Stone (Myanmar)

The Buddhist shrine is located on Mount Chaittiyo (Mon State). You can shake it with your hands, but no forces can throw it off its pedestal; in 2500 years the elements have not brought down the stone. In fact, it is a granite block covered with gold leaf, and its top is crowned by a Buddhist temple. The mystery has still not been solved - who dragged him up the mountain, how, for what purpose and how he has been balancing on the edge for centuries. Buddhists themselves claim that the stone is held on the rock by the hair of Buddha, walled up in the temple.

Asia is a fertile land for creating new routes, learning about yourself and your destiny. You need to come here meaningfully, tuning into thoughtful contemplation. Perhaps you will discover a new side of yourself and find answers to many questions. When visiting Asian countries, you can create a list of attractions and shrines yourself.

Asia is that part of the world where countries are both similar to each other and completely different. It combines various cultural and religious movements, different natural and climatic conditions, the exoticism of the East, ancient traditions and a completely modern, European-like life.

Western Asia includes the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, the Caucasus Mountains and the western coast of the Mediterranean Sea. This region is full of attractions; it was here that ancient states peace. Now there are resorts for every taste. Türkiye is the most popular due to its good climate, varied types of recreation, affordable prices And historical monuments. The Caucasus pleases national flavor, excellent cuisine And ancient history. And the countries of the Arabian Peninsula will provide a luxurious holiday for the most demanding tastes.

The countries of South Asia are immediately associated with fairy tales of the Thousand and One Nights. Iran, Iraq, India and neighboring countries have a special flavor. India deserves special attention, as largest country region. In India they treat Europeans well; there are magnificent architectural monuments of different eras, Hindus celebrate on a grand scale folk holidays, which is a pleasure to take part in. Almost all Indians speak English. But there are also disadvantages here: big cities a huge number of slums, and therefore a lot of petty scammers. Heat, insects, snakes are not the most pleasant additions to your vacation, although these inconveniences will not be a hindrance for tourists who are prepared in advance.

China, Japan, Mongolia and other countries are grouped by geographers into East Asia. It is difficult to describe the variety of attractions, but no one will refuse to see the birthplace of Genghis Khan, the Great Wall of China, the Terracotta Army or the Cherry Blossom Festival. Lovers of philosophy and religion will find themselves visiting many temples, and maybe even get to the monasteries of Tibet. Nature has not deprived this part of Asia of landscapes - steppes, deserts, the roof of the world - the Himalayan mountains, great rivers - all this is worth the attention of travelers.

Southeast Asia is very popular among holidaymakers with its warm seas and wide beaches, an abundance of tropical flora and fauna, unusual architecture, rich ancient culture. Tourists from all over the world are warmly welcomed here and vacationers return to Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and the island states again and again.

Asia is a contrast of exoticism and modern technologies, preserving traditions and customs and striving to keep up with the times. Tourists, coming on vacation to Asian countries, always make discoveries for themselves, because in such a vast territory there is sure to be an unexplored corner that seems like a real paradise.

The countries of South, Southeast and East Asia are richer in ore minerals.

Great resources fresh water, however their placement is also uneven. The problem for most regions is the provision of land resources. It is better endowed with forest resources than other regions Southeast Asia, where huge tracts of tropical forests are located. Among the trees you can find such valuable species as iron, sandalwood, black, red, camphor.
Many countries have significant recreational resources.
