A landlocked nation in Southeast Asia occupying the northwest portion of the Indochinese peninsula, Laos is surrounded by China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, and Burma. It is twice the size of Pennsylvania. Laos is a mountainous country, especially in the north, where peaks rise above 9,000 ft (2,800 m).
|
Cambodia, located in the heart of Southeast Asia, is arguably the jewel of the region. Undiscovered for centuries, its wealth of natural beauty and rich heritage continue to amaze and astound, with Angkor, the world renowned cultural heritage site dating back to the earliest days of cultured civilization, attracting visitors from all over the world.
|
Myanmar, or Burma as it is still more familiarly known in the West, is a country where magnificent and ancient Buddhist temples gaze out serenely over a nation restless for change. Myanmar has plenty of wonders for the eye--sinuous, life-giving rivers, lush mountain forests, and intricately-drawn cities--but it can also trouble the soul.
|
Thailand is the geographical heart of South-East Asia. The famous golden triangle, located at the nation's northernmost point, is where Thailand's borders meet those of both Laos and Myanmar (Burma). The border with Myanmar continues to the west and then south as far as the Malay peninsula, much of which is occupied by Thailand.
|
China has beautiful scenery, with mountains and ranges, highlands, plains, basins, and hills. The highlands and hill regions account for 65 percent of the country's total land mass, and there are more than 2,000 lakes.
|
Hong Kong is often an intermediary stop for families adopting children from China, Vietnam or other Asian countries. You can enhance your journey and appreciation of Asian culture if you spend a few hours in Hong Kong and the vicinity.
|
Japan is a country made up of many islands. Since the sun rises in the east, Japan is often addressed their country as "The Land of The Rising Sun." The Japanese refer to their country as "Nippon" or Nihon" which means "source of the sun". The Japanese flag represents a red sun on a white background also for this reason. |
