00:00Not only the largest continent on earth but the most populous too, Asia is home to some of the
00:18most alluring cities in the world. The sheer variety and diversity means that each city has
00:24its own unique look, feel and identity, with something new to discover wherever you go.
00:30While some are renowned for their fantastic culinary scenes and pounding nightlife, others
00:35boast breathtaking historical sites and cultural landmarks. Home to millions of people who speak
00:40unique languages and showcase rich cultures and religious beliefs, Asia's many cities
00:45are delightfully different from one another. Here's a look at the best cities to visit in
00:50Asia.
00:54Number 25. Luang Prabang.
01:15Lying in the north of Laos at the point where the Mekong and Nam Khan rivers join, Luang Prabang
01:20is certainly set in a scenic spot. Surrounded by mountains, rainforests and waterfalls,
01:26it has lots of incredible kayak trips, river cruises and treks for you to enjoy. While
01:32its natural wonders are a treat to explore, the small city also boasts a rich cultural
01:37and religious heritage. Home to a number of important Buddhist temples and monasteries,
01:42its name in Laos actually means Royal Buddha image. Long ruled by France, the city also has
01:48some lovely old villas that date back to colonial times.
02:18Number 24. Bukhara.
02:33Steeped in history, Bukhara is a magical place to visit, with mausoleums, madrasas, mosques
02:39and minarets wherever you look. Located on the Old Silk Road, the city has long welcomed
02:44travelers and traders to its ancient streets. Set amid the confines of a dry and arid desert
02:50in Uzbekistan, the city of museums is home to several historic buildings that date back
02:56centuries. The architecture is magnificent, and losing yourself in the atmospheric Old
03:01Town is the best way to see its many sights. The ancient city still hums with life, however,
03:08and while wandering around town, you'll come across lots of market stalls selling amazing
03:13local handicrafts.
03:38Number 23. Mumbai.
03:45The commercial capital of India, the port city of Mumbai is one of the most populous metropolises
03:51in the world. As such, everyone and everything can be found within its sprawling confines.
03:58Located on the west coast, Bombay, as it was once known, is a fantastic, frenetic, yet fun
04:04place to explore. In many ways, the city defies definition. It is not only home to the glitzy
04:10world of Bollywood, but also pervasive poverty in its endless slums. While its crowded streets
04:16can be somewhat suffocating, Mumbai boasts some absolutely stunning colonial-era architecture
04:22and marvelous monuments.
04:34Number 22. Manila.
04:56One of the most densely populated cities in the world, the Philippines' chaotic capital can
05:01be a bit hard to fall in love with at first sight. It is well worth persevering, however,
05:06as its towering skyscrapers and traffic-filled streets hide away lots of wonderful and unique
05:12places. Founded by the Spanish back in 1571, the city is set on the shores of Manila Bay,
05:19with Pasig River running through it. Old and new seamlessly mix together in Manila, as modern
05:24shopping malls lie alongside colonial-era churches and cathedrals. Full of trendy bars and artisan
05:30markets with some great nightlife, the Pearl of the Orient is certainly one of Asia's greatest
05:36mega-cities.
05:38Number 21. Taipei.
05:58Located in the north of Taiwan, the island nation's capital of Taipei is a fascinating place to visit.
06:08This is because the city boasts a rich and unique cultural heritage, with American, Japanese,
06:14and Southeast Asian influences all on show. As such, you'll find Taoist temples lying next to Japanese-era
06:21mansions, bustling markets, and myriad skyscrapers. Of its many museums, the National Palace Museum
06:28is particularly worth visiting, for the insight it offers up on the island's history and culture.
06:33Besides its many sites of interest, Taipei also has lots of fabulous shops, restaurants,
06:38and bars for you to try out.

07:14Xian.
07:19Although it is famous for being home to the world-renowned army of terracotta warriors,
07:24Xi'an in the north of China actually has much, much more to it.
07:29Not only the capital of 13 different Chinese dynasties, it was also once the terminus of
07:34the Silk Road.
07:35As such, trade, wealth, and people from all different walks of life poured into the city,
07:40with each epoch and generation leaving its mark on Xi'an.
07:45With incredible tombs and pagodas alongside Ming-era city walls and the magical Muslim
07:50quarter, this marvelous city is a delight to explore.

08:29Stretching as far as the eye can see, Kathmandu fills the valley in which it lies with its
08:34colorful and chaotic sprawl.

08:42historical sites and cultural landmarks.

08:50there are many intact sites well worth exploring.
08:54While history is all around you, the country's rich cultural heritage lives on in vibrant religious
08:59festivals that regularly take place.
09:02The largest city in Nepal, Kathmandu is an exhilarating but equally exhausting place.

09:13of the Himalayas.

09:54Lying on the banks of the Mekong River, the bustling city boasts the breathtaking Royal Palace,
09:59as well as a number of grand boulevards and French colonial buildings.
10:04Many of its historic sites, however, are sadly related to the tragic events that took place
10:08in the country in the 70s.
10:10With lots of cozy cafes, atmospheric bars, and fantastic restaurants, Phnom Penh is slowly
10:16putting its past behind it and, once again, turning into a popular tourist destination.

12:37is unlike anywhere else on earth.
12:40This is because it is home to some of Christianity, Islam, and Judaism's holiest sites.
12:46Within the old city walls, you can find not only the Western Wall, but the Dome of the
12:50Rock and the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
12:53History really is everywhere you look, and its ancient streets teem with pilgrims who
12:58have come to pay their respects.
13:00Each of its quarters has its own unique identity, and getting lost in their warren-like streets
13:05is all part of what makes Jerusalem so magical.
