Asia offers a dynamic contrast of futuristic skylines, ancient traditions, vibrant markets, and rich cuisine. This itinerary introduces travellers to some of the continent’s most accessible and exciting urban destinations, blending comfort, sightseeing, shopping, and cultural discovery.
The southern city of Kaohsiung is Taiwan's largest port, its second-largest city and centre of the country's heavy and petrochemical industries. Despite this, today's Kaohsiung is a modern urban landscape of airy cafes, wide streets, waterside parks, public transport, bicycle lanes and cultural venues that have embraced and re-imagined the city's manufacturing past.
Tokyo feels limitless in size and scope and often seems more like a collection of cities than one cohesive whole. At the centre is the Imperial Palace. To the east of the palace is the old city, the historic downtown that came to life during the feudal era (when a castle stood where the palace is today).
