3. Lawrence Of Arabia’s experience in the Wadi Rum desert, Jordan
   Wadi Rum, or otherwise the valley of the moon, is truly a desert region, a miracle for all mankind. The special climate is what gives the region its undeniable attractiveness. Capture the sun as it fades into the hundreds of towering canyons, lose yourself in the Rocky Palace of Petra, and sleep under the stars to admire the uniqueness of the night skies. Follow the steps of Lawrence Of Arabia and experience the unique experience of the desert as in the film of the same name. Jordan’s Wadi Rum monopolizes the interest of every tourist who wants to visit a unique treasure in Asia.
4. The sacred mountain of China, Wudang Shan
   China may belong to Asia, but its size is capable of creating a continent of its own. Wudang Shan Mountain is located in the northwestern part of Hubei in China. It is called the holy mountain of China since it is surrounded by Taoist temples and monasteries. Hot summers and cold winters characterize this magnificent place. All of the temples and monasteries are included in the Unesco World Heritage List. If in your travel goals you also include China, then you should devote some time to the sacred mountain. Countless cultural activities will take you to different eras of Chinese culture. If you are a fan of martial arts, then consider visiting masters of Wudang Kung Fu or Tai Chi. A good time to visit the mountains is autumn or else spring (from March to May).
5. South Korean Buddhist temple, Haedong Yonggungsa
   Finally, the historic Buddhist Temple Haedong Yonggungsa is definitely worth a visit. It is found in Busan in South Korea, and it was built in 1376 by a conqueror named Naong during the Goryeo Dynasty. Originally the Temple was called Bomun; however, during the Japanese invasions in 1592-98, the Temple was destroyed. In the 1930s, the church was rebuilt and took the current name, while in 1970, the main sanctuary was reconstructed with special attention to colors. To get a perspective of the place, consider that it is built on a rock with stunning sea views. So, when is a good time to visit the place? The best time is the cherry blossom in April; otherwise, on New Year’s day, to make a wish as the sun rises. At the Buddha’s birth celebrations, hundreds of lit lanterns illuminate the night sky. Any time you visit South Korea and the glorious Haedong Yonggungsa, the epilogue in Asia will be truly unique.
