Asia is located to the east of the Greenwich meridian, in the Eastern Hemisphere. Of all the existing continents, it is the largest, with about 44 million square kilometers of area.

Among the 55 countries that make up its territory are found some of the largest and smallest nations in the world, both in area and in population. The Russian Federation, whose European share corresponds to a quarter of its territory, has three quarters of its territory in the Asian part. The populations of the People's Republic of China and the Republic of India, for example, are larger than the people of the North American and South American continents combined.

In this way, the Asian population is vastly different in family trees, cultural identity, habitual practices or behaviors, languages, beliefs of religion and in the way of life: this just by looking within the continent. When compared to the West, the culture on the other side of the world is so disparate that, no wonder, it captivates and attracts so many onlookers.

Asian civilization began more than 4,000 years ago, long before it started in the Western world, in terms of economic activities, cultural events and the development of science. For this reason, Asia has a rich cultural heritage. On each corner, in each city, there is another temple or a portion of historical evidence from ancient times

Tourists traveling to Asia can choose between Hindu temples in India or Buddhists in Japan; opt for hiking in the mountains of Nepal, among the ancient ruins of Cambodia, or in the modern streets of Singapore or the Great Wall of China. The tourist can enjoy that the doors of Bhutan and Myanmar have been opened to the rest of the world.

Furthermore, no one can remain apathetic to the natural beauty of Asian countries. The beaches of Thailand and Indonesia and the Lao Waterfalls are just a few examples of how nature has made a difference in the landscapes of the Asian continent.

Eastern nations hook any traveler's heart, responding willingly to Western curiosity. The Asian people are considered very welcoming, always with a smile on their face, coming from those who recognize the value of tourism for their cities.

In addition, in the East, the best place to eat is on the street and in local markets. Popular food is the best guarantee of good cuisine when traveling to Asia.

Best of all, traveling to Asia can be very cheap. If the traveler has an economic profile, life in Asia is very cheap, so the destinations attract many young travelers and backpackers. The trick is to get away from everything that is “mega” touristic and try to integrate as much as possible into local life.
