Between their amazing cuisines, exotic cultures, and unmatched natural beauty, the countries of East and Southeast Asia have something for every traveler \u2013 and budget.<\/p>\n

Vacationers can explore modern metropolises like Tokyo and Seoul, sunbathe in Bali or Boracay, or backpack through lush rainforests and ancient temples just outside Siem Reap and Bangkok.<\/p>\n

Which one will you choose? Here are our picks for the 10 cities in Asia that every traveler should see.<\/p>\n

Tokyo, Japan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Present-day Japan\u2019s mix of ancient tradition and modern innovation is never more evident than in the country\u2019s capital, Tokyo. It manages to embody every aspect of Japanese culture at once, from the richest cultural elements to the oddest clich\u00e9s \u2013 and wow, is it a sight to behold.<\/p>\n

And you\u2019ve never seen a major city that\u2019s so clean, so safe, so orderly. But there are still plenty of opportunities to cut loose and enjoy yourself, including stuffing your face with the world\u2019s best (duh) sushi.<\/p>\n

Speaking of food, Tokyo\u2019s many restaurants have accumulated more Michelin stars than any city in the world. In fact, other locations \u2013 including Paris, NYC, London, and San Francisco \u2013 don\u2019t even come close.<\/p>\n

Bali, Indonesia<\/strong><\/p>\n

From beautiful beaches to the region\u2019s famous Balinese massages, Bali is perhaps the ultimate destination for rest and relaxation. Or maybe you\u2019d rather enjoy some world class surfing and explore the local rainforests.<\/p>\n

Hey, why not both? Either way, Bali doesn\u2019t disappoint. Especially when you\u2019re staying in a luxury villa like this one<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam<\/strong><\/p>\n

Arriving in Ho Chi Minh City \u2013 also known as Saigon \u2013 is almost like traveling to another planet. The streets are swarmed with thousands of motorbikes and lined with hundreds of street vendors, creating a kind of symphony of chaos that has to be seen to be believed.<\/p>\n

Add in the incredible food and even better Vietnamese coffee, and HCMC is a city of sensory overload \u2013 but in the best possible way. And like much of Southeast Asia, it can be seen and enjoyed on a very modest budget.<\/p>\n

Siem Reap, Cambodia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Angkor Wat is one of the most famous attractions in all of Asia, and its ancient temples and ruins just so happen to sit right outside the sprawling city of Siem Reap.<\/p>\n

Despite Cambodia\u2019s rocky history, modern day Siem Reap is a vibrant place, bursting with culture, history, and some very friendly locals. Sure, it\u2019s still quite rugged and raw compared to somewhere like Tokyo, but that\u2019s part of the charm. And there\u2019s plenty to see, do, and experience, whether its relaxation or adventure you seek.<\/p>\n

Hong Kong, China<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hong Kong is on par with some of the biggest financial hubs in the world, which makes for a bustling city filled with endless creature comforts, to be enjoyed by both Chinese businessmen and foreign tourists alike. In fact, HK caters to Westerners better than most major cities in the region.<\/p>\n

And whether you\u2019re ordering a bespoke suit from one of the city\u2019s famous tailors or enjoying a family trip to Hong Kong Disneyland, it\u2019s a place that should be on every traveler\u2019s bucket list. And fortunately, flights to and from HK are cheap, whether you\u2019re traveling from the US or another country in Asia.<\/p>\n

Taipei, Taiwan<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taiwan is technically a part of China, but there are plenty of differences that make it unique from the mainland or Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

The city is an interesting blend of modern amenities and traditional culture, where you can find high-end restaurants and local markets almost right next to each other, which makes for a fun vacation \u2013 and some very, very good eating.<\/p>\n

And while it\u2019s not as cheap as Bangkok or Siem Reap, for instance, Taipei is still doable on a more modest budget than Tokyo or Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

Bangkok, Thailand<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are few cities in the world that offer as much as Bangkok. The city\u2019s food, martial arts, culture, nightlife, and shopping all rank among the best in the world, which is why it\u2019s able to attract everyone from digital nomads to professional fighters to backpackers to retirees by the thousands.<\/p>\n

One of the best things about Bangkok is how affordable it is, with plenty of value-priced accommodation \u2013 like this one-bedroom apartment<\/a> \u2013 spread throughout every nook and cranny of the city.<\/p>\n

Boracay, Philippines<\/strong><\/p>\n

If your idea of a perfect vacation includes relaxing on a picturesque beach with a drink in hand, Boracay may be just the place.<\/p>\n

While the Philippines has thousands of islands, none are quite as popular as Boracay, which has attracted acclaim, awards, and tourists from around the world for its incredibly white beaches with stunningly blue waters.<\/p>\n

Every inch of this tiny island\u2019s coastline is worthy of a postcard \u2013 and the parties aren\u2019t bad either.<\/p>\n

Seoul, South Korea<\/strong><\/p>\n

South Korea\u2019s economic growth has been explosive over the past few decades, and it\u2019s all the more obvious in the capital city of Seoul, with its towering skyscrapers and ultramodern amenities.\u00a0 Yet the city is still amazingly affordable, especially compared to neighboring Japan.<\/p>\n

And vacationers will be happy to hear that Koreans party just as hard as they work, epitomized by Seoul\u2019s amazing culinary scene and nightlife. Korean BBQ, K-Pop, and copious amounts of alcohol are the recipe for an unforgettable night, for sure.<\/p>\n

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Malaysia is a country that features a unique blend of cultures, and it\u2019s never more evident than in Kuala Lumpur, a city that\u2019s made up of roughly 45% Malay Muslims, 45% Chinese Buddhists, and 10% Indian Hindus.<\/p>\n

And for tourists, that means some really, really good food. While Thai and Japanese cuisine, for instance, is obviously amazing, Kuala Lumpur offers an entire spectrum of different options for foodies to choose from. And they\u2019re scattered around a very modern and interesting city, that serves as one of the biggest airline hubs in the region.<\/p>\n

Unique Cities and Unique Experiences<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, have you made a decision yet? Will you start with a beach vacation in Bali or Boracay, eat until you burst in Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur, or shop \u2018til you drop in Taiwan and Hong Kong?<\/p>\n

Fortunately, it\u2019s so easy to catch a flight from one city in the region to another, you could even hit two or three in a fairly short trip.<\/p>\n

And the best part about all ten cities is how distinctly unique they all are.<\/p>\n

In fact, unique travel experiences are something we at Tripz.com really value. That\u2019s why we make it a point to connect travelers and hosts directly, giving them the experience to create that connection that\u2019s been slowly disappearing from today\u2019s vacation rental industry.<\/p>\n
