Asia - An Introduction
From the tropical rainforests of southern Asia to parched deserts in China and India, there is a wide range of climate and ecosystems here. Home to the highest mountain range on the planet, the Himalayas, Asia can also boast the longest coastline in the world, with seemingly endless beaches and islands to explore. Teeming with great rivers, such as the Mekong in Vietnam or the Ganges in India, as well as an incredible biodiversity of animal life including tigers, pandas, and snow monkeys, the lands of Asia are truly dazzling in their dramatic nuances.
And then there are the people: 4.5 billion homo sapiens live within this varied geography (that is, 60% of the earth’s population!), creating an immense well of incredible human culture. Indeed, Asia is home to no less than 2,197 languages! With a long, rich history, including such stunning human innovation as the Great Wall of China which stretches 8,852 kilometers (5,500 miles) or the nearly mystical temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia, the wonders of this land and its peoples are endless.
The color and nuance of the myriad of cultures found here is ecstatic: every country, sub region, and tribe has their own stories, local dance, music, art, and creative expression. And the food! With an explosion of spices and flavors across the continent, you can dive into a culinary paradise. Asia is also the birthing ground of most of the world’s major religions and spirituality here is vibrant and expressive, with temples, ceremonies, and celebrations abounding.
Asia is a continent deep and rich with life, so dive deep, and enjoy!
