The holy city of Rishikesh, in the base of the Himalayas, holds deep cultural and spiritual significance for local Hindus. Sacred rivers and mountains set the scene for yoga and reflective hikes, and rafting here is an absolute must. The Beatles got in touch with their Eastern spiritual side here, writing several songs during a 1968 stint at a local ashram.

英國軍官於 1820 年在喜瑪拉雅山山腳建造了「女王山」(Queen of the Hills)，在一大片的山林之中鶴立雞群。天氣晴朗時最適合前往欣賞 Doon Valley 的美景。此處的名字源自四周山區大量的曼蘇爾灌木。至今，這裡的美食和建築仍然反映出過去殖民地歷史的痕跡。想要欣賞壯麗的自然景觀的話，建議你前往至高點的 Gun Hill 或 Childer's Lodge 小屋，或前往著名的 Kempty 瀑布感受氣勢磅礡之美。

China’s third-largest city is the capital of Guangdong Province and a thriving commercial center. Its location on the Pearl River and proximity to Hong Kong has made Guangzhou a strategic port for centuries. Glimpse old temples and gleaming steel towers on an architectural tour. Visit one of four Chimelong theme parks for thrills and chills. Once called Canton, Guangzhou is considered the home of traditional (read Cantonese) “Chinese food.” Foodies will find more restaurants per capita here than anywhere else in China.

美味點心、島嶼還有獨特的城市天際線，就是香港的獨特魅力所在。想要看看傳統的中式建築，那麼去昂坪市集準沒錯。逛完市集之後，你可乘搭電車到太平山山頂，欣賞無與倫比的美景。南蓮園池的石陣以及平緩的丘陵，能平息你的煩躁心情。不妨也到赤柱咖啡廳喝杯茶，也同樣具有平緩心情的效果。在靜諡的志蓮淨苑細細品味四周景色，相信你一定也能體會出佛教的禪理。

Looking for a great beach destination? The Red Sea’s warm water is great for swimming, and there are miles of great beaches in Sharm El Sheikh for working on your tan, but if you’re a diver, look no further.

Tradition collides with pop culture in Tokyo, where you can reverently wander ancient temples before rocking out at a karaoke bar. Wake up before the sun to catch the lively fish auction at the Toyosu Market, then refresh with a walk beneath the cherry blossom trees that line the Sumida River. Spend some time in the beautiful East Gardens of the Imperial Palace, then brush up on your Japanese history at the Edo-Tokyo Museum. Don’t forget to eat as much sushi, udon noodles, and wagashi (Japanese sweets) as your belly can handle.
