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

Halong Bay is one of the top Asia bucket list destinations and it won’t take you long to see why once we hop on board a traditional junk boat and set sail through the dazzling emerald waters, soaring limestone karsts, golden sand inlets and ancient caves. The beautiful scenery feels like the entire bay has been plucked straight from heaven and you'll get to spend the night on the boat, falling asleep to the gentle sounds of the bay.

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!

WHAT TO EAT & DRINK IN ASIA

From sushi, satay and spring rolls to fried rice and pho, Asian food is truly iconic and we’ll show you all the best places to try your favourite dishes.

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.

WHEN IS BEST TO VISIT ASIA

Asia has something to offer 365 days of the year. Whether you want to swim at the beach, explore the historical sights, or go river cruising, there's an Asia trip waiting for you.

BEST TIME TO HEAD TO THE BEACHES IN ASIA

Keen to hit the beaches of Southeast Asia in Vietnam and Thailand? We love the dry season of October to April for sunny days and perfect snorkelling weather.

BEST TIME TO VISIT ASIA’S CITIES

You can explore Asia’s iconic cities all year round, whether you want to eat street food in Bangkok, shop in Shanghai, or soak up the neon lights of Tokyo.

BEST TIME FOR A RIVER CRUISE IN ASIA

Cruise the mighty Mekong during the dry season from October to April or take to the Yangtze in September and October when the autumn fruits put on a gorgeous show.

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.
