Asia, the land of incense, tea and silk, is an ancient land with diverse and opulent treasures. From imperial Beijing to modern Shanghai to the unchanging Yangtze River, China is a study in startling contradictions. In Indo-China, the secretive jungles of Vietnam vie with the brilliant beaches of Bali, and urbane Singapore is juxtaposed with the Hill Tribes of Thailand's Golden Triangle. Japan's vibrant cities encircle the serene imperial gardens of its past. Angkor Wat, Borobudur, Prambanan and Bagan all compete for the Oscar of temple complexes. Finally, India, the jewel in the crown, weaves together ancient Hindu, Buddhist and Moghul traditions with its colonial heritage. Asia beckons you.
