AsiaExplorers is the guide to explore Asia travel destinations from the comfort of your desk. My name is Tim. I created AsiaExplorers in 2003, and since then, I have documented over a thousand travel destinations in Asia. Now it is my great pleasure to be able to share with you my discoveries in all the different countries in Asia.

Asia is a stunningly beautiful place. It is a land of soaring mountains and sheer valleys; you can find gorges, sun-drenched beaches, mist-shrouded jungles and blistering deserts in Asia. Indeed Asia encompasses the entire gamut of geographical possibilities. And there's more. Whether you're looking for ancient ruins, fortresses, palaces, or ultra-modern skyscrapers, they can all be found here in Asia. I hope you will enjoy Asia through the pages of AsiaExplorers, as much as I have assembling them to show to you.

To start your journey, select a country from the map above - there's a pin on each country that I have documented. Just click on it to select. Alternatively, you can also select a city from the thumbnail list below, or scroll down to the travel guides assembled. Any which way you choose, I wish you a most wonderful time experiencing Asia!

From the limestone mountains of Yangshuo, China to the ancient temples, vibrant cultures and bustling cities of countries like Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia, Asia is a land of adventure and wonder. In fact, there is so much to see and do in Asia that you will want to return again and again to explore a new and exciting destination every year. A timeshare is an excellent way to return on a budget. And these vacation properties wont tie you to one location year after year. They are very flexible and tradable, meaning you can use your Indonesia timeshare to travel to India, Japan and Nepal fairly simply. Even if you're not ready to buy, you can find hundreds of large, well-appointed timeshare rentals in Asia.

London Travel Tips

As I manage quite a number of websites, I want to take the opportunity to show you some of them. Today, I am featuring London Travel Tips. I created this website because I love London, and I want to share the places I know with people who may be planning a trip there. Even if you have no plans of visiting London, this website allows you to explore it from the convenience of your dekstop. But for those who are working out their itineraries, you will find in London Travel Tips useful information such as how to get to a specific attraction, what train (the Tube) to take, what bus or even ferry boats. For some sights, I also provide opening hours and information on entrance fees. The website is illustrated with detailed maps and photographs from Panoramio. I regularly update London Travel Tips with new sights as well as revising existing information.

As I have documented over a hundred sights, I categorize them under different headings to make it easier to find. You can view the full list\ in alphabetical order below, with the categories in parenthesis:
