If you feel like seeing a great deal in a short period, rather focus on city life than the country side, and prefer arriving at your destination as fast as possible, consider traveling with an air pass.
Imagine visiting 23 cities in 21 consecutive days. Now I gave you Cathay Pacific’s All Asia Air Pass’ most extreme example, but you get the idea. For $1,399 you can travel extensively within Asia, and a round trip ticket from New York, Los Angeles or San Francisco to Hong Kong is included in the price.
Admire on of the world’s best architectural designs as you stroll down the streets of Hong Kong where condominium and tall apartment buildings cover almost half of the city area. Stop at a restaurant in Hong Kong Arts Centre and appreciate the harbour view as you savour a delicious lunch. Next day, fly to Tokyo; see the gorgeous Japanese garden Hama Rikyu along Tokyo Bay; watch the buzz at Shibuya; visit Meiji Jing for some peace and quiet before catching a flight to Kuala Lumpur.
Take a photo of the famous Petrona Towers and board the monorail to discover the rest of KL. Continue to Bangkok; wander through the lanes and alleys to River View Guesthouse at 768 Soi Panurangsri (Thanon Songwat Road) in Chinatown; follow the pleasant street Thanon Phra Athit, and end your day with a Moon Light Peach cocktail at Sirocco Bar at 1055 Silom Road. Where next?
The choice is yours. The All Asia Pass from Cathay Pacific Airways boasts 23 cities, and if you get an unexpected urge for Delhi, Mumbai or Hanoi, pay the additional fees and you’re set to leave. Although traveling by train gives you another sense for the beauty of a country and its people, I must say that an airpass has its benefits and is worth a try at least once in your life.
