Top destinations in Asia voted by CNN
Because of its breathtaking natural beauty and colorful cultural history, Asia has always been a bustling stop for global tourism. Each country has distinct characteristics that create a colorful Asia for international travelers. However, according to CNN's most recent assessment, Asia still has many extremely appealing and potential destinations that have not received the attention they deserve from international travelers. Most of the destinations on this list have majestic landscapes and diverse ecosystems, giving travelers the experience of being in harmony with fresh nature.
Lan Ha Bay, Vietnam
Located in the south of Vietnam's Ha Long Bay, one of the new wonders of the world, Lan Ha Bay is less interested in and travelers are somewhat sparse. Not only admire the wonderful landscape of the coast and cliffs, but travelers to Lan Ha Bay also have the opportunity to participate in sea activities such as boating, kayaking, and exploring caves.

The next destination also belongs to Vietnam, Da Lat city is located on the Lam Vien plateau, Lam Dong province. It has a cool climate all year round, and possesses an extremely poetic natural landscape, along with various typical specialties.

The “land of cherry blossoms” is also featured in this list with the Nikko National Park. With an area spread across three regions: Tochigi, Gunma, and Fukushima, Nikko possesses a majestic natural beauty with waterfalls falling from above offering the most impressive views in Japan. However, this place has not been exploited much for tourism, so it still retains its natural beauty.
