Essential Asia Bucket List Items by Us
An Asia tour with Costsaver will have you falling in love with all the iconic sights, from the famous peak of Mount Fuji to the gorgeous botanic gardens of Singapore.
Get Up Close and Personal with the Iconic Mt. Fuji
We’ll come face to face with Japan’s highest mountain when we go for a drive to the Fuji Subaru Line 5th Station. It’s one of the best places to see in Asia and jaws will drop when we see the gorgeous views of the Fuji Five Lakes area from 2,300 metres above sea level, then catch the Komagatake Ropeway for equally impressive views over Lake Ashi.
Take a Sightseeing Cruise Around Halong Bay
The spectacular landscapes don’t stop coming in Indonesia and we’ll take you to see Lake Batur, the biggest lake in Bali. It’s set inside a volcanic crater on the slopes of the iconic Mount Batur and is one of the most stunning places to see in Indonesia. With gorgeous views stretching for miles, there’s no better place to relax in nature’s beauty.
Visit the Botanic Gardens of Singapore
Garden lovers...welcome to utopia. You’ll have 82 hectares of botanic beauty to explore when we take you on a sightseeing tour through these UNESCO-listed gardens. See if you can spot your favourite flowers - there are over 60,000 different species here to choose from - and be sure to check out the magical orchid garden, a real must-see in Asia.

Explore the Mekong Delta in Vietnam
We sailed past idyllic fish farms and stilt houses on the mighty Mekong to Turtle Island, where we met a local farming family, sampled fresh fruits and coconut milk, and visited a family-run workshop which makes candy out of the Mekong's coconuts. Next, we hopped in a rowing sampan to explore the smaller canals and got to taste honey tea and listen to traditional folk songs. It really was a fantastic day!

Visit the Oriental Pearl TV Tower in Shanghai
This 468m-tall globe-on-a-tripod tower is the most iconic contemporary building in Shanghai. The highlight at this retro-futurist Deng Xiaoping–era building is the Transparent Observatory (259m), where you can peer way down through the glass-bottomed walkway. Take the lift to the sightseeing floor for 360-degree views of this Chinese gem.

Ride the Langkawi Cable Car in Malaysia
You can't miss riding the bubble-shaped Langkawi Cable Car for the best views of the island. The cable car took us over 2 kilometres up the mountainside where we could see the stunning Seven Wells waterfalls, the blue ocean and the lush tropical forest, before touching down on the peak of Gunung Macincang. Don't forget to hit the amazing Black Sand Beach afterwards!
Spring Rolls (China)
If there’s one classic Chinese dish that can be enjoyed meal after meal, its spring rolls. These delicious dim sums are filled with meat and vegetables and fried until crispy and golden, and they’re loved all over the world. It’s impossible to stop at one!
Sushi (Japan)
There’s something extra special about eating sushi in its homeland. These mini rolls of sticky rice, fish, pickled ginger, wasabi and soy sauce are a huge part of Japanese culture and we’ll show you the ropes on all the different kinds of sushi and how to eat it.
Satay (Thailand)
Walk down almost any market street in Thailand and you’re sure to find a stall selling satay. These sizzling meat sticks are made with strips of meat like beef or chicken that are marinated in a special Thai paste, skewered and grilled to perfection. Dip it in the peanut sauce for the ultimate Thai snack.

Packing tips for Asia
How to Travel Responsibly in Asia
Dress Modestly
Asia is a largely conservative continent and it's important to respect different cultures by covering your knees, shoulders and midriff, especially when visiting religious sites.
Ask Before You Snap
It’s easy to get snap-happy when travelling through Asia’s beautiful landscapes, but it’s important to always ask permission before taking photos of people.
Go Plastic-free
Waste disposal is a huge problem for many countries in Asia. You can help out by using refillable bottles and bags to help do your part in limiting plastic use.
