Asia is one of the world’s seven continents, and it’s also the largest. It has an area of 44,579,000 km², and it would take ages to see it all! However, Asia shares the landmass of Eurasia with Europe, as well as Afro-Asia with both Europe and Africa. Nevertheless, Asia has a population of about 4,694,576,167 people. Among them all, the most common religion is Islam, with about 1.3 billion followers, as of 2022. The second most common religion is Hinduism.
There are many interesting areas in Asia, and some invented really cool things. For example, Japan invented sushi and the Middle East invented hummus. Each area/country has made its own contribution to the world, in one way or another.
Lots of people enjoy touring new places. Asia is an awesome place to tour because of all the sights. Road trips are perfect, and you can travel all the way from the Middle East to the Philippines, though you’ll have to take a plane to get to the latter! There are many things to do when touring Asia. Some cool tourist sites are:
The Great Wall (China):
The Great Wall was built around 220 BC. It was built to prevent attacks from foreigners.
The Taj Mahal (India):
The Taj Mahal was designed by Indian Emperor, Shah Jahan, in honor of his dead wife. It was constructed by Ustaz Ahmad Lahori.
Mount Fuji (Japan):
Mount Fuji is a stratovolcano (composite cone volcano) in Japan. It is 12,388 ft tall at its highest peak.
Petra (Jordan):
Petra is a structure carved out of the Jordanian rocks. It is truly a unique experience to see it.
These are some but not all of the amazing things Asia has to offer.
Well, I hope you enjoyed learning about Asia as much as I loved writing about it. Who knows? Maybe you’ll tour it one day!
