This month-long voyage will create a lifetime of memories, from timeless rural scenes to tongue-tingling cuisines and tantalizing islands floating in unreal shades of blue and green. Find inspiration for a thousand watercolors: longtail boats cruising the serene waters and karst pillars of Halong Bay, water buffalo tilling vivid green rice paddies, vermilion torii guarding Shinto shrines, and magical Thai islands we’ve hand-selected from over 1,400 choices. Expand your culinary horizons with Peranakan fusion food in Malaysia and Singapore, Khmer noodles in Cambodia, Taiwanese hot pot, and Ishigaki’s melt-in-your-mouth beef. Shop for colorful silk scarves in Bangkok, and browse the famous night markets during overnight stays in Hong Kong, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and Singapore. Anchor it all with a better understanding of the past as you visit the National Palace Museum in Taipei with one of the largest collections of Chinese art in the world, Ho Chi Minh City’s War Remnants Museum, Hoi An’s Ancient Town with its beautifully preserved 18^th-century merchant houses, and the Imperial City of Hue with its lovely palaces, temples and gardens. Past or present, natural beauty or glimmering neon cities, this voyage reveals it all.
