亚洲旅游景点介绍(英语).doc

With so much to see and do on the massive Asian continent, even the top 3 destinations do not adequately represent the continents diversity. Compiled from lists representing both Asian and Western tourists, the most-visited and most-famous tourist destinations in Asia are sometimes familiar while still surprising. Among the top cities to visit, you will find the familiar trio of Bangkok, Hong Kong and Tokyo, but even the tourist sites in these familiar and beloved capitals may surprise you. Agra, India: Taj Mahal Built in the 17th century in memory of his beloved late wife, Emperor Shah Jahan created the Taj Mahal, now considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World and one of Indias major tourist destinations. The white marble mausoleum encrusted with precious gems and Koranic verses laid out in flower patterns took 22 years to construct and still attracts lovers and dreamers from all over the world, captivated by the romance of the building just as much as the heartbroken husband who built it.

A mountain chain with several active peaks cuts across the island from east to west, dividing the landscape into steep slopes in the north, lush plains tumbling down the backside of the mountains into the center of the island and sandy beaches in the south. As the most popular island in Indonesia, the Balinese have taught many tourists the local concept of Tri Hita Karana, which unites God with humans and nature in a trinitarian philosophy.
