In Asia, there are states with both subarctic and equatorial climatic zones. In the south of Asia, powerful winds blow from the sea - monsoons. Moisture-saturated air masses bring torrential rains.

Central Asia is located gobi desert, which is called cold. Its lifeless, windswept expanses are covered with rubble and sand. The orangutans, the only large apes living in Asia, live in the tropical rainforests of Sumatra. This species is endangered today.

Most of them live along the banks of rivers and oceans and are engaged in fishing and agriculture. Today, many peasants are moving from the countryside to the sprawling cities.

About 2/3 of the world's rice is grown in just two countries - China and India. Rice fields on which young shoots are planted are covered with water.

The Ganges River in India is the busiest trading spot with numerous "floating markets". Hindus consider this river sacred and make massive pilgrimages to its banks.

The streets of Chinese cities are filled with cyclists. Bicycles are the most popular form of transportation in China. Almost all of the world's tea is grown in Asia.

Mysterious and incomprehensible for Europeans traditions, religious buildings, interweaving of ancient culture with the latest technologies attract curious travelers. Not to list all the iconic sights of this region, you can only try to highlight the most famous ones.

Taj Mahal (India, Agra)

A romantic monument, a symbol of eternal love and a magnificent structure in front of which people freeze in daze is the Taj Mahal, included in the list of the seven new wonders of the world. The mosque was erected by Shah Jahan, a descendant of Tamerlane, in memory of his deceased wife, who died in childbirth, giving birth to her 14th child. The Taj Mahal is recognized as the finest example of the Great Mughals, incorporating Arabic, Persian and Indian architectural styles. The walls of the building are lined with translucent marble and inlaid with gems. Depending on the lighting, the stone changes color, becoming pink at dawn, silvery at dusk, and dazzling white at noon.

Mount Fuji (Japan)

It is an iconic place for Buddhists who practice Synthaism. The height of Fujiyama is 3776 m, in fact, it is a dormant volcano that should not wake up in the coming decades. He is recognized as the most beautiful in the world. There are hiking trails on the mountain that operate only in summer, since most of Fujiyama is covered with eternal snow. The mountain itself and the area "5 Fuji Lakes" around it are included in the territory of the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park.

The largest architectural ensemble in the world stretches over North China for 8860 km (including branches). The construction of the Wall took place in the 3rd century BC. and was intended to protect the country from the Xiongnu conquerors. The construction site dragged on for a decade, about a million Chinese worked on it and died in thousands from exhausting labor in inhuman conditions. All this served as a pretext for the uprising and overthrow of the Qin dynasty. The wall is extremely organically inscribed into the landscape; it repeats all the curves of the spurs and depressions, encircling the mountain range.

Borobodur Temple (Indonesia, Java)

Among the rice plantations of the island rises an ancient gigantic structure in the form of a pyramid - the largest and most revered Buddhist temple in the world with a height of 34 m. Steps and terraces that surround it lead up to the top. From the point of view of Buddhism, Borobodur is nothing more than a model of the universe. Its 8 tiers mark 8 steps to enlightenment: the first is the world of sensual pleasures, the next three are the world of yogic trance that ascended above base lust. Rising higher, the soul is cleansed of all vain and acquires immortality in the heavenly sphere. The upper stage personifies nirvana - the state of eternal bliss and peace.

Golden Buddha Stone (Myanmar)

A Buddhist shrine flaunts on Mount Chaittiyo (Mon state). You can shake it with your hands, but no forces will be able to throw it off its pedestal, for 2500 years the element has not brought down a stone. In fact, it is a granite block covered with gold leaf, and a Buddhist temple crowns its top. Until now, the mystery has not been solved - who dragged him up the mountain, how, for what purpose and how he has been balancing on the edge for centuries. The Buddhists themselves claim that the stone is held on the rock by the Buddha's hair, walled up in the temple.
