Asia

Overview

Asia is the largest thing in travel, and our coverage of it begins where most journeys do: Beijing. The Chinese capital concentrates the continent’s appeal — imperial monuments on a scale nowhere else matches, a food culture refined over centuries, and the energy of a modern megacity running underneath both. The guides in this section walk the Forbidden City and the Great Wall, sort the city’s neighborhoods for where to stay, and take the food seriously, from Peking duck ceremonies to breakfast crepes from street carts. Practical coverage handles the logistics that make Asia distinct for many travelers — visas arranged in advance, mobile payment set up before arrival, and transit systems that reward a little homework. As the site’s Asian coverage grows, this page gathers it in one place, with the same ranked-list approach used everywhere else.
