Can you recommend travel destinations in Asia? I’m visting Japan, Singapore, Thailand, and China.?

I plan to spend about a month in Asia. I’m going to spend a couple days in Tokyo and a few in Singapore (visiting a friend). After that, I want to spend the rest of the time in Thailand and China. I’ve never been to Asia before. What are your very favorite places in the countries I’m visiting? What should I “not miss”, and how long would you recommend staying there? I know I’m going to visit Bangkok and Beijing, but other than that I haven’t decided. I’m open to suggestions in Vietnam, Korea, etc. if those are the ones you love I love cool historical stuff and impressive architecture as well as gorgeous vistas. Especially great cultural experiences are also a plus. Thanks everyone!1. Cambodia’s Siem Reap for Ang Kor Wat and others

I believe if you are a true traveller, you must visit Siem Reap at least once in your life.

If you make separate trip, it’s likely that you will have to stop at Bangkok first anyway. Since you will be in Bangkok, this is a good way to do it.

You can make it a weekend trip or 3-4 days trip. It’s one of the most amazing place that I ever visited. It will also fullfill your need of historical, architectures, vistas, and clutural experience.

2. Taiwan

This can be a good choice to see the combination of culture between China & Japan. It has one of the best Chinese Art museum, which you can only see it there. If you like nature and vistas, it’s known as beautiful island although I think you can find a lot of places in China now as well.
