Hello Asian Destination readers, welcome to our blog. For the first post in this blog we want to share information about Asia as Continent
Earth is divided into 6 continents, namely Africa, America,
Antarctica, Asia, Australia and Europe. In addition to being divided into
6 continents, there are also those which divide earth into 7 continents where
the Americas are separated into North America and South America. Astronomically, the continent of Asia is located at 26o East Longitude –
170o East Longitude and 11o
South Latitude – 80o North Latitude, and is bounded by the
Arctic Ocean to the south; Indian Ocean to the South; Ural Mountains,
Caspian Sea, Bosphorus Strait, Dardanelles Strait, Mediterranean Sea, Black
Sea, Suez Canal and Red Sea in the West; the Bering Strait and the Pacific
Ocean to the east.
The Asian region is divided into 5 sub-continents, namely:
a.
Southwest Asia: Saudi Arabia,
Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Yemen, Palestine, Iraq,
Israel, Lebanon, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Iran, Cyprus.

Thus, the continent of Asia has the largest land area and has some of
the countries with the highest population in the world. Wow, that's
interesting, it doesn't stop there. Religions that have large adherents in the
world originate from the Asian continent, you know, from Southwest Asia,
Christianity, Catholicism, and Islam emerged. The South Asian subcontinent
has both Hinduism and Buddhism. In addition, in East Asia, Confucius
philosophy emerged which eventually became a belief in several countries.
Because religions with large adherents have finally made
several countries make their main tourism destinations related to
religion. In addition, in this era of globalization, the barriers between
one country and another are invisible. The speed in the technological era
makes the transfer of culture even faster. Asia is no longer only known
for religious tourism, but there are also entertainment and cultural styles
such as South Korea with its KPOP, Japan with its Anime, and India with the
Bollywood entertainment industry.
Before venturing to Asian countries, it would be better if
readers estimate the destination of the country and what type of tourism will
be visited, besides that different entry permit policies should also be taken
into account, don't forget to prepare money to carry any luggage. In the
midst of this COVID-19 pandemic, of course, you have to check that the visit
policies in each country are definitely different.
That's the first post on this blog, hopefully it will make
readers more understanding and interested in visiting Asia, see you.
