7 Exotic Asian Destinations That are Worth Visiting (Part 1)

There are people who have already seen much of the world, and there are those who have yet to even venture out of the city. Whatever the case, there are still a lot of places to visit and experiences to discover. Here, we have made a list of lesser-known yet exotic Asian destinations that you should definitely add to your travel bucket list.

The places listed here may seem mysterious and even far-flung, but did you know that some vacation clubs actually partner with hotels close to these places? This is true, especially for Astoria Vacation and Leisure Club, Inc. (AVLCI), the leading vacation ownership company in the Philippines. Members get the opportunity to stay at top-rated hotels and resorts around the world to help them travel and discover more quaint places through RCI. However, some of you may have read articles about timeshare frauds and vacation club scams. If this is the case, let us convince you otherwise with AVLCI reviews and testimonials through this link and with these articles. But if you are already an AVLCI member and excited to visit these exotic places sometime soon, read on!

Jodhpur, India. One should consider visiting one of Rajasthan’s cities, Jodhpur. It is affectionately called the “Blue City” not only because of its blue-painted houses but the fact that it is one of the areas unspoiled by slapdash modern development.

This city’s houses were painted blue to signify that they were once occupied by Brahmins, the highest caste in India. Jodhpur is also home to Mehrangarh Fort—one of India’s largest and most well-maintained forts. Venturing the fort alone will give tourists a beholding sight of tombs, museums, and restaurants!

Hanhwa, South Korea. Tourists first and foremost visit South Korea for its K-drama shooting locations and amusement parks. But did you know that there are a lot more to this country than what you see in the TV? Apart from its capital, Seoul, a true-blue wanderer should also visit Hanhwa. This area is home to a vast and wonderful national park. Nature lovers will surely love Seorak-san National Park for its breathtaking views and magnificent trails. It also hides the Sinheungsa Temple, where people can see a big Buddha monument while on the trail.

Pingtung County, Taiwan. Summer getaways are the norm for vacationers, and for Filipinos, it is usually Boracay and Palawan. Outside of the country, one may look at Bali, Indonesia or Phuket, Thailand. But did you know that Taiwan boasts of amazing beaches too?

Kenting is Taiwan’s gem for beach lovers. Picturesque shorelines and magnificent sunsets are a sight for tired eyes. The powdery sands of Nanwan Beach, the snorkel sights around Wanlitong Beach, and the grassy meadows of Fengchuisha are also worth the journey. Just do not forget to rent a scooter! And since we are already on the subject of the great outdoors, one will also enjoy the sights of the southern coastline of Taiwan via Longpan Park.
