Travel to Romantic Asian Locations
Asia is one the more visually stunning areas in the world. If you
are looking for romance, here are some top-notch destinations.
Asia is hot and sticky, much like romance. More importantly, it
tends to be fairly cheap due to a currency disaster in the late
1990s. Although luxury resorts can be very pricey, you can find
a romantic location for just about any budget.
If cost is of no concern, the Banyan Tree Resorts should definitely
be on the top of your list. With resorts in Thailand, Indonesia,
China, Japan, Maldives and Seychelles, the Banyan Tree resorts are
the lap of romantic luxury. Each resort is a bit different and prices
vary wildly depending on location since the currency in Japan is
much stronger than the Thai currency.
Cheju Island off of Korea is a little known, but
spectacular romantic destination. Cheju is very similar in appearance
to the Hawaiian Islands, complete with a dead volcano. Spring is
by far the best time to visit Cheju, but keep in mind Korean honeymooners
are in plentiful supply. As to budget, you can get rooms at luxury
resorts or camp on the Island. Every level of comfort between these
extremes is also available.
China is a huge country with a lot to see. If you're looking for
a rustic, romantic travel destination in China, the place to go
is Suzhou. Imagine Venice, Italy being plopped down in China and
you have Suzhou. The city is rife with canals and roughly fifty
percent of it is underwater. Once considered the capital of the
Silk Road out of China, the city is over 25,000 years old. Perched
on the edge of a lake, it is simply spectacular and undoubtedly
one of the most romantic areas in Asia.
If all else fails, you can never go wrong with Bora Bora in Tahiti.
Comprised of volcanic mounts much like Hawaii, Bora Bora is known
as the romantic island of Tahiti. The name is appropriate. The island
is all about pristine white beaches, crystal clear water and friendly
people. One can hike up the old volcano to get an incredible view
in the morning and head out to the reefs for a little diving in
the afternoon. Lodging can be a bit pricey on Bora Bora, but it
is definitely worth it.
You can't go wrong with any of the above destinations if your looking
for romance in asia.
