Know About Asia: the largest landmass on the Earth

Think you know Asia? Well, let me check your IQ! What is the most popular cultural fest of Singapore? How would you say ‘I like you’ in Malayan language? And which island is the only active volcano in Asia? Itching your head? Don’t worry! It’s quite obvious! Most of us have a habit of visiting the place without knowing it properly. All that we do is – book the flights and hotel and head on to a destination to enjoy that the place is famous for. We often avoid gathering important information about that place. In this blog, I’m putting some valuable facts about Asia and its popular tourist attractions that may help you in knowing the continent better.

Mount Everest in Nepal is the tallest peak in the world. It is called as ‘Sagarmatha’ in Nepal.
Southeast Asia is considered among the most fascinating tourist destinations around the globe. Some places which is an iconic status are Bali (Indonesia), Phuket (Thailand), Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Andaman & Nicobar (India) and Singapore.

It would be surprising fact for many that the Human Development Index (HDI) improvement in East Asia is the strongest anywhere in the world. China ranks second around the world in term of HDI improvement. The per capita income in the country increased incredibly 21-fold over last 40 years.

Most of the countries in Asia use more than one language that is nationally spoken. India alone speaks 800 languages, Indonesia speaks 600 and Philippines have over 100 languages in its different regions.

Similarly, a rich variation can be seen in the cultures and religions in most of the Asian countries. Singapore, Thailand and India are tourism-friendly nations, which are popularized globally. Singapore packages and Thailand packages are among the most sold out tour packages in Asia.
