By Melida Kopelman 1 year ago

Introduction

Asia is a continent of diverse beauty. From the soaring peaks of the Himalayas to the rich colors of modern art, Asia has something for everyone. One particular way to experience this diversity is by exploring its many artistic expressions. From ancient palaces and temples to gardens and museums, this guide will help you discover how much more there is to see beyond the typical tourist traps of Asia.

The Last Emperor’s Palace

The palace was built for the last emperor of China, Pu Yi. It’s an incredible structure that was designed in the style of traditional Chinese architecture. The Last Emperor’s Palace is now a museum, and it has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Popular at the time, this style features grandiose entrances flanked by ornamental columns and roofs with upturned eaves.

Temples and Monasteries

Temples, monasteries and other holy sites are often the center of a community, whether it be Buddhist or Hindu. They’re places of worship where people come together to pray and meditate. These sacred spaces tend to be built with an eye toward beauty–and they’re also some of Asia’s most stunning architectural wonders.

Temples and monasteries often play host to grand ceremonies held by priests who lead their communities in prayers for good fortune or forgiveness from deities (depending on what religion you practice). In some cases these buildings were constructed by monks who lived there as well; others were built by local villagers as a show of devotion toward their faith.

Gardens

Gardens are a place where you can relax, get away from the stress of life and enjoy yourself. They are also a place for reflection and meditation as well as exercise and education. Gardens are an ideal place for social interaction as they provide an opportunity to meet people with similar interests, especially if there is a garden club or association nearby where you can join up with like-minded individuals who share your passion for gardening.

Museums and Galleries

There are many museums and galleries in Asia that you can visit for free. Here are some of them:

  • National Museum of China, Beijing (free on Wednesdays)
  • Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto (free admission every Sunday)
  • Tokyo National Museum (free admission on Mondays)
  • The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City has a special exhibit called “Asia’s Splendors: Traveling Mirror to Korea” running until January 6th, 2020. It’s worth checking out!
