When you are travelling in Asia, do what the local people do: get on a motorbike and hit the road. Here are some suggestions on destinations you can hit on your next vacation.
Yogyakarta, Indonesia
Many people go to Yogyakarta to watch the sunrise in Borobudur, the largest Buddhist（佛教的）monument in the world. But Yogyakarta has much more to see. There are endless rice fields, many small villages and plenty of roads, ready to be explored. You can also visit the famous Hindu temple Prambanan.
Luang Prabang, Laos
Walking in the streets of Luang Prabang, you will be approached by travel agents offering package tours. Say no and enter the first stop where there is a motorbike to rent and a good map to sell. It is much more fun to tour by yourself. You can take your time and go to Kung Si and Tad Sae, two amazing waterfalls. The road cuts through forests and mountains, offering you surprising landscape along the way.
Chiang Mai, Thailand
Chiang Mai is right in the middle of the highest mountains of Thailand, so it’s not surprising that the city’s surroundings display amazing natural beauty. Forests, strawberry fields and rivers are all around you. Another good option is to climb 9 miles up the mountain to visit the holy temple of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, one of the most famous temples in the city.
Lake Maninjau, Indonesia
It just takes several hours to tour the whole Lake Maninjau, the huge lake formed by a volcano crater(火山口) in Sumatra, Indonesia. Around the lake, there is nothing but small fishermen’s villages, rice fields and schools, and the road is never busy. Get ready to see many smiles and curious faces.
