ASIA TRAVEL
 Asia
is too massive and diverse to conceptualize as a single digestible travel
"destination". Even defining the borders of this continent is difficult -
from the mountains around the Black Sea in the west, to the snow fields of
Siberia in the east, there are more people and cities in Asia than outside
of it. Asia's and the world's highest point is Mount Everest, along the
border of Tibet (China) and Nepal, which rises to 8,848 m (29,028
feet) above sea level. Its lowest point is the Dead Sea, located at the
meeting points of Israel, the Palestinian Territories,
and Jordan, whose surface is 400 m (1,312 feet) below sea level. Asia's
longest river is the Yangtze, which runs 6,300 km (3,915 miles) through
China from all the way from the high Tibetan Plateau to
Shanghai. Its largest lake is the 386,400 sq km (149,200 square mile)
Caspian Sea, which is surrounded by several Central Asian nations. Asia is
bounded by the Pacific Ocean to the east, by Australia to the southeast, and
by the Indian Ocean to the south. It is bordered by the Red Sea
to the southwest, by Europe and Urals to the west, and by the
Arctic Ocean to the north.
Travel options range widely, from the desert ruins and modern mega-malls
of the Middle East to the magnificent ancient monuments in South
Asia, and from the beach bungalows and jungle treks of South-East
Asia to the mega-cities and technology capitals of East Asia.

In any case, Asia offers the very diverse travel options available to
the most avid travelers. On one end, there are the ultramodern largely
democratic modern countries/territories like Japan and the East Asian
Tigers of Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and South
Korea which are very prosperous and in which people enjoy very high
standards of living. On the other hand, Afghanistan, Laos and East
Timor are extremely poor countries where people struggle even to get a
few grains of rice each day. Of course, there are also many countries lying
somewhere in the middle, such as the eme rging
powerhouses of China and India which make wonderful travel destinations in
themselves due to their long history, size and diversity. To add to a list
of possible travel destinations, Asia is also home to North Korea,
which is under one of, if not the most, oppressive regimes in the world.
Thailand is a magnet for travelers too, with great food, a tropical climate,
fascinating culture and great beaches.
