TRAVEL SPECIAL.......................... A date with history: Why Cambodia, China & Japan are must-visit heritage sites

A date with history: Why Cambodia, China & Japan are must-visit heritage sites
The words culture and heritage are no longer used in politics alone. More and more tourists are actively seeking experiences that highlight the history of the destination. Cultural travel is about experiencing life in a foreign land, rather than being a tourist.

If you want to go beyond luxury, taking selfies and sightseeing, then go on a cultural exploration on your next holiday. This will surely bring about a transformation in your life back home. Commonly known as 'Travel to Learn is all about visiting museums, touring ancient structures, attending festivals, and eating local food.

To sum it up, its about replacing being a 'tourist' with 'creating experiences and cherishing memories'. So get on a path, a route where you discover yourself! Let's begin with Asia, which is home to many jewels on the UNESCO's world heritage list.

In Malaysia, you can visit the Gunung Mulu National Park located in Sarawak, Malaysia, with exposed jagged mountains, limestone formations and secret pockets of stunning cave chambers, the park is a natural wonder formed from earth's 60 million years of natural change. Penang's historic city centre of Georgetown is known for its unique townscape and culture, arising from its former function as a trading port linking Europe and Asia.

After visiting the most visited heritage sites in Japan, Vietnam, Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Burma, take a dip in the cultural waters of Asia.
