The largest and most populous of all continents, Asia ranges from the vast taiga of Siberia and the empty steppes of Mongolia to the tropical atolls of the Maldives in the Indian Ocean and some of the world's richest coral reefs in Indonesia. Containing both marvelous natural wonders like the Himalayas and a great variety of old cultures and mouth-watering cuisines, Asia has an immense array of exotic flavours waiting for you. With over four billion inhabitants, Asia also hosts some of the largest cities in the world, including modern business centers such as Tokyo or Hong Kong, as well as steamy tropical metropolises like Mumbai or Bangkok.
