The fairy tale city of Luang Prabang is located in northern Laos and is one of Asia’s most exciting cities. What’s more, it enjoys an insanely scenic location, surrounded by green mountains.
The city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its unique blend of architecture, both Laotian and European. You can therefore also enjoy some fascinating architectural experiences here, such as the Royal Palace Museum, which offers a mix of French and Laotian architecture.
The city exudes a lovely, calm atmosphere, and it’s not unusual to encounter monks walking through the city streets to collect alms in the quiet morning hours.
The natural highlight of Luang Prabang is the enchanting Kuang Si Falls located just south of the city. In the midst of the lush tropical jungle, you suddenly come across tiered limestone pools filled by cascades of turquoise-blue water.
Discover the very best of Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia – from the serene atmosphere of Luang Prabang, Sapa’s lush rice terraces, and the imperial city of Hue, to vibrant life on the Mekong Delta and the awe-inspiring temple ruins of Angkor.

The distinctive scenery found here is what has made the area a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The bay is characterised by hundreds of beautiful, majestic limestone cliffs towering out of the water. Depending on when you visit the bay, the sea will be deep blue or emerald green – both colours a beautiful contrast to the green cliffs.
There are more than 1,600 islands and islets in the 1,500 km2 area. Several of the islands have large caves, others have small fishing villages, and on the large island of Cat Ba, there are several villages.
The bay is one of Vietnam’s most visited attractions and you should definitely see it with your own eyes if you’re going to Vietnam.

The Great Wall is said to be visible from the moon, but that’s just a tall tale. But great it is. The Great Wall stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east to Jiayuguan in the west in the north of China.
The wall, which is actually made up of several different walls built and extended under several dynasties – most recently in the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), is a line of defence which besides walls also consists of lookout towers, fortresses and other ruins.
Depending on who you ask, the wall is between 6,000 km and 20,000 km long. The part we consider today to be the Great Wall was built under the Ming Dynasty and measures around 8,851 km.
The wall is not only steeped in history but is also situated in an absolutely stunning landscape. When you stand on the wall, you will see how the construction follows the mountains, winding its way through the landscape – an absolutely enchanting sight!

Sri Lanka’s enchanting highlands are centrally located in the southern part of the island state.
The highlands are a lush mecca consisting of a hilly landscape that reaches up to 2,500 metres above sea level. The area offers abundant flora and fauna and is home to several endangered animal species such as the Sri Lankan leopard.
One of the best ways to experience the scenic landscapes is on a train ride through the lush, winding landscape. Sit back and enjoy the view of the picturesque tea plantations, waterfalls and small local villages. A different but unforgettable way to experience the beautiful nature of Sri Lanka.
Yangshuo is a picturesque region with an almost surreal landscape. The region covers an area of around 1,428 km2 and comes under the city of Guilin in southern China.
The region is bordered on one side by the scenic Li River, which has several small villages along its banks.
The river twists its way, ribbon-like, through the landscape, which is dominated by the green limestone mountains jutting up from the earth.
The mountains cast shadows over the fields and villages, and are reflected in the river.
And yes, it’s every bit as beautiful as it sounds!

One of the most beautiful places to see the sun rise has to be on Mount Bromo on the island of Java in Indonesia.
At 2,329 metres, Mount Bromo is not the highest mountain in Indonesia, but it’s still one of the most visited. Its popularity is partly due to the fact that the volcano is in the middle of a volcanic crater of around 10 kilometres in diameter.
A visit to the volcano requires an easy hike, but when you get there, you’ll be standing in the middle of the large volcanic crater on the fine volcanic sand with breathtaking views of Mount Bromo. It’s totally worth it!
