Staying safe is the primary concern during the COVID-19 pandemic, but air travel is slowly inching back. However, air travel will be very different than it was before the pandemic. The days of hopping in an Uber or taxi to the airport, then bumping against other people for space, are over.
Well, for the time being, we can’t do these things yet. But when everything gets better, hopefully, we can all get back to normal and visit places you want to visit. If you are planning to travel after the pandemic, particularly in Asia, don’t worry.
We’ve got you covered. Below are some of the places in Asia that will give you the best experience. Take a read!
Bali

Seoul
Seoul is dubbed as one of the futuristic cities in Asia. However, Seoul is also home to many ancient landmarks that highlight a peek into old South Korea. There is a huge Changdeok Palace, Gyeongbok Palace, and Deoksu Palace.
Once you are done exploring the imperial history of the city, perhaps you can start touring the modern side of Seoul, like Hongdae, an upbeat neighborhood. As the modern part of the city, here you’ll find an endless array of bars, restaurants, beauty boutiques, and more.
Luang Prabang
Surrounded by mountains, it is hard not to love Luang Prabang in Laos. This UNESCO-secured ancient Lan Xang Kingdom capital takes the soul of the tourists both literally and figuratively. Here, you will be surrounded by golden mountains and sanctified rivers, silent meditation, and robed monks, which is the perfect way to reflect and meditate.
Also, the food here is delicious. Laotian cuisine is popularly excellent and fresh, thanks to its abundant local ingredients and produce.
Kyoto
Although Tokyo may be Japan’s commercial heart, Kyoto represents its heritage. The city houses 17 UNESCO sites and at least 1,600 temples, plus the picture-perfect scenes wherever you go.
It will take years to explore the various temples in Kyoto. However, if you are here for the highlight landmarks, then visit Kinkaku-Ji, Fushimi-Inari-Taisha Shrine, and Nansen-Ji Temple, for example.
Takeaway
Undoubtedly, Asia is home to some of the beautiful places in the world. Romantic or remote, there is a place for you to explore in Asia. So, when everything goes back to normal or if we switch into the new normal, make sure to add these Asian countries to your list of travel destinations.
