Asia, that continent where most travelers feel happy, that place that hooks and where we all want to return sooner rather than later. That corner of the world that is an explosion of colors, flavors, smells and sensations, often difficult to explain. Asia, that name to which we assure you, you will be bound forever once you have set foot in it. Although any place you visit will always be a success we leave you a selection of 10 amazing places to see in Asia.
1- Taj Mahal. India
A tear on the cheek of time, that's what they call the most beautiful monument built for love. We will not be the ones who deny such an affirmation and it is that any adjective, as it may seem like it, falls short when you are facing this incredible work of the human being. The Taj Mahal is incredible, majestic, extremely beautiful to grate the obscene at times like sunrise or sunset. We advise you not to stay only with the most typical view. Approach when the sun is about to set on the opposite bank of the Yamuna River and you can enjoy unique views of the mausoleum.

2- The Great Wall. China
With 21196 kilometers long, 6 to 7 meters high and 4 to 5 meters wide, the Great Wall of China is a symbol not only of the country, but also of the world and there is no traveler who has not dreamed any Once with stepping on it.
We recommend that you flee from the areas closest to Beijing, such as Badaling, which can be quite touristy and encourage you to enter the Great Wall through one of its less restored sections, such as the Jinshanling or Simatai area, between which you can do a trekking, quite arduous but that will leave some images that will never be erased from your retinas.

3- Borobudur. Indonesia
Considered the largest Buddhist monument in the world, Borobudur is a great mandala carved in stone, in which after crossing it clockwise, we will reach its highest part, place that represents the Nirvana.
We recommend arriving early in the morning, when the sun begins to emerge after the vegetation, to enjoy the place almost alone.

More and more touristy Bagan is one of those places where temples, pagodas and a special energy come together to form one of the 10 amazing places to see in Asia.
If you can, do not miss flying over the whole set in a balloon, an experience not too economical, but surely, will leave an unforgettable memory.
5- Shirakawa-go. Japan
To approach this traditional Japanese town in the Alps is to go back in time. If we add to that the possibility of getting here in winter, when the snow takes over the landscape, we assure you that it will cost you to turn your back on one of the most wonderful landscapes in the country.

8- Beaches of Thailand
There are many types of beaches, better and worse and then there are the beaches of Thailand. And is that coming to this country and not spending a few days on its beaches is almost like not having been. Although today many of them are too crowded, there are still many corners where those postcard images that we all have in our heads are kept when we think of the beaches of Thailand.
9- Angkor. Cambodia
What can we say about Angkor that hasn't already been said? Absolutely nothing and that is that Angkor is that kind of places to which the photographs do not do justice and there is nothing better than seeing them in person and keeping the image in the retina forever. You sign up?
10- Halong Bay. Vietnam
Barges with ocher-colored sails swaying between impossible rock figures that form inside one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Entering it, for a few hours or a few days, in one of the ships that make different routes, is one of the best memories you can take from one of the most impressive countries in Asia.
