Asia is the largest continent in the world, and its size also comes with a diverse topography. Asia is also home to rich natural resources, long-standing history and cultures. The continent has a mix of many different climates ranging from the equatorial south via the hot desert in the Middle East, temperate areas in the east and the continental centre to vast subarctic and polar areas in Siberia - one of the main factors creating such a charming, enormous topography. From thick jungles to clear beaches and ancient cities in between, stunning destinations scatter in every corner of Asia.
Ha Long Bay in Vietnam is one of them, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is about a two-hour drive from Ha Noi – perfect for travellers wanting a break from the bustling capital. With 1,969 islands and islets of hulking limestone and deep, green waters that are home to myriad floating villages, this is a place where time slows to a standstill. Beyond karsts and islets, visitors may enjoy kayaking, soak in sunlight and blue sea, and spend time visiting one of the many fishing villages floating deep inside the Bay or explore several caves.
