Four Attractive Road Trips in Asia

One way to explore Asia is driving along some of its most impressive roads and Asia has some attractive roads that are great fun. If you want to tour Asia by car, here are four once-in-a-life-time roads to consider.

Nha Trang to Quy Nhon (Vietnam)

Visitors can enjoy beautiful sea views with golden beaches on the ocean side of the road. Every two years, there is a week-long festival where visitors drive the route together and take part in a large celebration. If you want a memorable experience, consider joining in that celebration

The Karakoram Highway (Pakistan and China)

Every year, there are many people who travel long distances to be able to drive or ride a motorbike over the Himalayas on this road connecting China and Pakistan. There are some areas with beautiful lakes and mountains along this road.

The Hokkaido Scenic Byway (Japan)

Hokkaido is one of Japan’s four main islands. Driving along the Hokkaido Scenic Byway will take you through a series of routes around the island that offer beautiful sights. Consider rolling down the window as you drive through the fragrant lavender(薰衣草) fields or stopping at one of the hot springs along the way.

Golden Road to Samarkand (Uzbekistan)

Uzbekistan is a country that is unknown to many tourists, but it's a fascinating place to explore. Although there isn't a formal route, most visitors will fly into the capital city Tashkent, and then transfer to Bukhara. This beautiful, old city is home to many historic sights, and from there, you can follow the historic Silk Road route to Samarkand.

Beach tents that maximize shade and privacy

Silver-coated fabric ensures that this beach tent can protect you from the sun while resisting UV (紫外线的) damage on your beach day. There’s plenty of space for everyone.

Our top pick for the best beach tent of the year goes to WhiteFang Sun Shade Shelter. The tent is excellent at providing shelter from the sun’s UV rays. The tent is equipped with three sandbags, eight steel stakes (钢桩), six sand stakes and guy lines to ensure it stays put.

It’s ideal for a family or a group of friends who don’t feel like ducking into a tent whenever they want a break from the sun’s UV rays. To set it up, lay out the tent on the ground, and fill the sacks with sand. While the canopy is water-repellent (防水的) and will work well in a light wind, it won’t offer protection in a heavy downpour or strong winds.

This lovely baby beach tent is made for babies under the age of 3. It features a mini poo that sits in the sand and can be filled with water to give your little one a place to safely splash around. A UV-protected sun shade keeps the sun away, which is nice if you don’t want to keep applying sunscreen.
