Four Attractive Road Trips in Asia
One way to explore Asia is driving along some of its most impressive roads and Asia has some attractive roads that are great fun. If you want to tour Asia by car, here are four once-in-a-life-time roads to consider.
Nha Trang to Quy Nhon (Vietnam)
Visitors can enjoy beautiful sea views with golden beaches on the ocean side of the road. Every two years, there is a week-long festival where visitors drive the route together and take part in a large celebration. If you want a memorable experience, consider joining in that celebration.
The Karakoram Highway (Pakistan and China)
Every year, there are many people who travel long distances to be able to drive or ride a motorbike over the Himalayas on this road connecting China and Pakistan. There are some areas with beautiful lakes and mountains along this road.
The Hokkaido Scenic Byway (Japan)
Hokkaido is one of Japan’s four main islands. Driving along the Hokkaido Scenic Byway will take you through a series of routes around the island that offer beautiful sights. Consider rolling down the window as you drive through the fragrant lavender(薰衣草) fields or stopping at one of the hot springs along the way.
Golden Road to Samarkand (Uzbekistan)
Uzbekistan is a country that is unknown to many tourists, but it’s a fascinating place to explore. Although there isn’t a formal route, most visitors will fly into the capital city Tashkent, and then transfer to Bukhara. This beautiful, old city is home to many historic sights, and from there, you can follow the historic Silk Road route to Samarkand.
