Hello, we will be traveling to asia from the West coast of the US late Nov into middle of Dec.

Planning on hitting South Korea, China, and Philippines.

What are some must see places? We enjoy nature, food, some shopping but not the most important thing.

We are trying to figure out how much time to visit in each place. Obviously China is biggest, so probably a week there and then maybe 5 days in South Korea and then the rest in Philippines? My partner has family in Philippines and we are looking forward to the sunny weather there.

Seeking advice in lesser know places or activities to do in any of these places!

I also have Marriott points so I get better deals when I spend 5 nights in one place because they give you one free night.

I’m a solo male wanting to travel solo to an Asian destination, I found a pretty good deal to fly to Kuala Lunpur for $1k (cad) in October, includes seats and baggage, and roundtrip, but I heard the weather is bad. Is this a good place to go? I only went to Bali and found it ok, loved the food but found the energy to be a bit hectic with all the massage parlours etc, it was a lot and a bit overwhelming. Where should I look into? I love to explore and grab cheap food, drinks, go to a mall maybe, have a decent home base to swim and go out for more exploring, that’s a day in the life. I don’t like partying or drinking etc. I also love squid dishes and a beach if possible but it’s not a deal breaker, I’m traveling for more life experience rather then a beach vacation.

Hey all 👋🏻

me and my fiancee are about to get married in October and we want to have our honeymoon somewhere in Asia. She already has been in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and India. This will be my first time in Asia.

We thought about going for a month trip to Japan or China and then two weeks in Thailand for an all inclusive hotel at the beach and maybe some shopping in Bangkok.

Because we don't want to wait a long time, we are thinking of going at the start of November but we can't decide if we should go to Japan or China.

We are foodies that love Japanese cuisine and we also love seeing gorgeous scenery like China has to offer. We know November might be a bit cold so I would like to ask about that as well.

I came here to hear some advice or more reason to choose one over the other, thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts with me 🙏🏻

I was planning a trip end of October but seen almost every post bash Jakarta for being heavily polluted and stinky, to the point we’re you can get a long infection, and being a poorly designed city and “unwalkable”. Is this all true? It seems like a great place to go explore solo as it’s very cheap both for food and hotels compared to Kuala Lumpur.

I wanna explore a place that is mostly filled with locals, not tourists.

I currently have it down to three options below for end of October only… it’ll be for only 1 week

Cambodia: Phnom Penh

Vietnam: Da Nang, Ho Chi Minh

Malaysia: Kuala Lumpur

Philippines: Cebu
