         Three Paradises in Asia

 
 

     Given so much information on taking vacation in Asia, people around the world have lots of choices when they decide which Asian country would be their best choice for spending quality time. Among these various competitive countries of tourist spots, we pick up three countries to introduce.

 
 

     First, let’s talk about Taiwan, which is known for its towering mountains, and is reputable as Mountainous Island. The island is spotted with numerous mountains. Jade mountain is Northeast Asia’s highest mountain, which is nearly 4000 meters in height. Besides mountains, beautiful coastal scenes are also part of Taiwan’s great natural asset. Starting from the northern tip of the island are the four national parks:  Guanyinshan National Scenic Park, North Coastline Scenic Park, East Rift Valley National Park, and Tapen Bay National Park. All are blessed with sunshine and tropic touch. Alongside the mountainous areas is the Maoling National Scenic Area, where a lot of aborigines live and one can check out the world of butterfly. That will bring to you the many faces of the island’s beauty. Taiwan is really a nice place where you want to travel. 

 
 

     Second, Japan offers a myriad of wonderful and appealing attractions: great cultural diversity, colorful and inspiring natural wonders beautifully interwoven by four distinctive seasonal changes, and the boundless hospitality of its people. Japan is thus gaining tremendously in popularity as a truly unique tourist destination that is easily accessible from any part of the world.

 
 

     Here we just give brief examples about some touring spots in the most prosperous place of Japan, Tokyo. Visit Akihabara in Tokyo. It is the world’s biggest electrical equipment town and now the trend is shifting toward computers from home electrical appliances. The name Akihabara is now world-famous. More than 250 electrical appliances and electronics shops of all sizes are located in a small area around Cho-dori Avenue, in the west of Akihabara Station. Later on visit Shibuya, a town where the latest trends for young people are born and shopping streets for families and “Bit Valley” that supports the IT industry. In Shibuya, there are not only numerous movie theaters with up-to-date facilities, but also the facilities to offer high-level culture, such as Shibuya-Kokaido Hall frequented by people coming for concerts. Orchard Hall is specializing concerts, operas, and ballet performances, and Bunkamura consists of a theater, an art museum and movie theaters and Denryoku-kan (museum of electricity) where people can learn about electricity with enjoyments. These are the features of Shibuya as a lively downtown district with full of amusements and entertainments.

 
 

     Last but not least, ,Phuket Island is another very popular countryside for sightseeing  in Thailand. We also call Phuket “the tropic heaven”. There are many small islands surrounding it and some of them are very famous for shooting Hollywood movies like the 007. People are sunbathing on beautiful beaches and wave surfing at the blue sea. There are comfortable SPA and massage services, exciting elephant riding, and the largest Buddhist temple to visit. People feel good and content there. At last, the gender-bender (lady men) show is sensational and famous over the world. If lucky,  you might fall in love with someone you met in Thailand because of the romantic air.

 
 

     In sum, these are the three countries that we recommend for sightseeing. After giving such information about them, I’m sure you have as much desire to visit them someday as I do. If possible, I hope that I can get more awareness of these three countries through my own bodily experience, but not just photos. Finally, I hope you have a good time in your trip.
