Mark Twain called India “the most extraordinary country that the sun visits on its rounds.” The very name is synonymous with mystery and allure. This vast territory has fascinated people from all over the world for centuries, with its rich and varied culture and millennia-old history. Most visitors to India visit the "Golden Triangle" formed by the ancient cities of Delhi, Jaipur and Agra, the seat of the various empires that have ruled India through the centuries, and home to world famous symbols from history - including the Taj Mahal - the world's most beautiful building.
China's civilization is one of the oldest in the world. China's premier tourist attractions are famous the world over and include some of the greatest and best-preserved archaeological discoveries anywhere. Sites such as the Great Wall of China and the Terracotta Army of Xian have to be seen to be believed, while the natural splendor of the mountains and rivers of China's interior leave the visitor breathless.
Without a doubt one of Vietnam's principal draws is its outstanding natural scenery: Mekong Delta, with its lush green rice paddies; the weird and wonderful scenery of Halong Bay, where thousands of rocky islands jut out of the water. The towns and cities of Vietnam combine old French colonial charm with traditional Vietnamese temples and typically Asian streetscapes. Cambodia is well and truly back on the Southeast Asian travel map, featuring ancient temples, empty beaches, mighty rivers, remote forests ...and (outside Angkor) only a handful of tourists. Cambodia surely possesses an enigmatic air that gives the intrepid traveler a real sense of achievement.
