Pinoy Tourism has been crafting journeys that go far beyond postcards and picture frames. We don’t just take you to Asia, we connect you to its heartbeat. A continent of 48 countries and over half the world’s population, Asia is an endless kaleidoscope of stories, flavors, and traditions waiting to be lived.
Here, the extraordinary is everyday. One moment you’re weaving through Tokyo’s neon-lit streets, the next you’re barefoot on a Thai beach, or savoring crispy Peking duck that whispers of China’s imperial past. You’ll drift through Vietnam’s dreamlike Halong Bay, and feel Cambodia’s soulful spirit stir something deep inside. Asia isn’t just a destination, it’s a transformation.
With Pinoy Tourism, expect more than monuments. Expect the surprise of a rickshaw ride, the warmth of a street vendor handing you steaming pho, or the quiet awe of standing in temples older than memory itself. Every day brings wide-eyed amazement. And with our exclusive Pinoy Tourism Highlights, the possibilities are infinite.
From the skyscrapers of Tokyo to the sandy stretches of Thailand, from Vietnam’s limestone islands to Cambodia’s cultural treasures—Asia will leave you breathless, full, and forever changed. Explore it all with our expert Pinoy Tourism Travel Directors, who know the secret backstreets, the food worth queuing for, and the stories that turn sightseeing into soul-seeing.

Our top 5 things to do in Asia
Admire the Great Wall of China
Feel the immensity of history beneath your feet as you walk a fragment of the 21,000-kilometer-long Great Wall. Rising and falling across green valleys, this UNESCO wonder is a living monument to resilience, and one of those moments that stays with you forever.
Wander through Angkor Wat
Greet the sunrise at Angkor Wat, the world’s largest religious monument, where timeworn carvings tell stories of both Hindu gods and Buddhist spirits. Eerie, beautiful, and humbling, it’s a place that awakens both awe and reflection.
Find Your Zen in Thailand
Thailand is more than smiles, it’s an invitation to slow down. Float lazily in the Gulf of Thailand, wander bustling night markets, and let a bowl of fragrant Panang curry or a beachside massage remind you what relaxation really feels like.
Sail Halong Bay
Board a traditional wooden junk boat and glide across Vietnam’s emerald waters, where limestone cliffs rise dramatically from the sea. Families live afloat here, and the whole scene feels like a painting brought to life, a natural wonder you’ll never forget.
Dive into Tokyo’s Energy
Tokyo is a city that doesn’t just move, it pulses. Lose yourself in the chaos of Shibuya Crossing, admire Harajuku’s bold fashion, and then find peace in a centuries-old temple tucked between skyscrapers. It’s a city of contrasts, and that’s exactly the magic.
Best museums in Asia
China
Temple of Heaven
Step into a masterpiece of faith and artistry. The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, with its vibrant ceiling, is a kaleidoscope of seasons, colors, and centuries-old craftsmanship. Built in 1420, it’s both divine and deeply human.
Cambodia
Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum
Haunting and vital, this museum bears witness to Cambodia’s darkest chapter. Once a prison, now a memorial, it is a place of remembrance and resilience, ensuring history is not forgotten, but honored.
Japan
Tokyo National Museum
Wander through millennia of art, culture, and history at the world’s sixth-largest art museum. From Silk Road treasures to Japanese masterpieces, every hall pulls you deeper into Asia’s creative soul.
Best foods in Asia
Japan
Sushi
A simple roll of rice, fish, and seaweed becomes something transcendent in its homeland. In Japan, sushi is not just food—it’s tradition, craft, and poetry on a plate.
Vietnam
Pho
Fragrant, comforting, and endlessly customizable, pho is Vietnam in a bowl. Whether slurped on a plastic stool at a street stall or savored in a chic café, it’s food that warms both body and soul.
China
Peking Duck
Crisp, golden skin. Tender slices of duck. A wrap of pancake, hoisin, and crunch. Peking duck isn’t just a dish—it’s an experience, a taste of imperial China that has stood the test of time.

Depending on where you’re from and where you’re headed, you may also need a visa. Save yourself the stress and check the requirements well in advance of your departure
