<p>Wat Arun<br />
When crossing the Chao Praya River by boat or ferry, the view Wat Arun is the most attractive and conspicuous. When viewed from afar, the pagoda-shaped building. There are quite steep stairs that can bring visitors to the top of Wat Arun. From its peak, visitors can enjoy panoramic Chao Praya River and Bangkok&#8217;s old city. Very interesting!<br />
<span id="more-56"></span><br />
Khaosan Road<br />
The backpackers must have been familiar with the area of ??Khaosan Road. This place provides a large selection of cheap accommodation to suit backpackers bag. Khaosan Road has a length of 400 meters was crowded with hundreds of stalls selling variety of cheap souvenirs. When the days grow dusk, this region will be more festive by the presence of bars and restaurants along the sides. Clubbing options are cheap!</p>
<p>Bangkok Chinatown<br />
Bangkok&#8217;s Chinatown area is relatively not too exposed and still rarely visited by tourists. Not many know that this area save a million charm waiting to be explored. At first glance, Bangkok&#8217;s Chinatown is the old business center that seem chaotic. But after exploring it further, you will find a paradise hidden in there. Bangkok&#8217;s Chinatown offers a large selection of activities. Starting from exploring old buildings Chinese architecture, culinary tourism, to hunt for antiques. </p>
<p>This is the only area of Bangkok that is still original and has not polluted tourist commercialization. Places of tourist interest in the old city area of Bangkok can not be achieved using modern means of transportation such as Bangkok Skytrain and the Bangkok Metro. It is certainly difficult for independent travelers who want to use public transport. Even so, in fact not difficult to conduct independent tours around Rattanakosin area. You can combine a walking tour with river transport. Even can also ride for free!</p>

The island name is Odaiba.</p>
<p>Odaiba area is located in Minato-ku, near the port of Tokyo. Approximately 150 years ago, this city was a stronghold of the Japanese defenses in the face of the attacks of foreign forces. Then, in the 1930&#8242;s, Odaiba laid out with a variety of beautifully kept gardens restored to date.<br />
<span id="more-50"></span><br />
Then in the 1980s, conducted this large-scale development in the region to become one of the important areas in Japan. Here lies the center of business and tourism. But unfortunately, the economic bubble in 1990 occurred that resulted in many people abandoned the Odaiba area and be quiet.</p>
<p>Rainbow bridge, this bridge is the link with the mainland Tokyo Odaiba. Cool, on a beautiful bridge, there are highways, railways, road, even sidewalks for pedestrians. Again the Japanese to create something fantastic. Because of the multifunctional and charming architecture, the bridge also became a symbol of Odaiba.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.bestw3c.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/mac.jpg"><img src="http://www.bestw3c.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/mac-150x150.jpg" alt="" title="mac" width="150" height="150" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-48" /></a>More than 20 million tourists come every year to Macau because the game is even taboo in some countries is presented as a tourism icon. Cards, cube dice, gambling chips and a plaything to be hunted most tourists in Macau.</p>
<p>Almost all five-star hotel set up a special floor for guests to play a role as Chow Yun Fat in classical Chinese movie titled God of Gambler. Billboards with the letters of magnitude accompanied by flickering lights advertise gambling sites. Just choose, you want a classy or casual.<br />
<span id="more-47"></span><br />
Currently, the attraction of gambling is no longer the main menu that relies on Macau tourism as income country. Game of luck into one entertainment package in cultural tourism, historical, and sports in Macau. Therefore, we need to realize that the country covering an area of less than 30 square kilometers or fifty half Jakarta had a collection of interesting historical scrutiny.</p>
<p>In between the skyscrapers, neatly manicured nan stately old buildings or Portuguese colonial heritage temple and houses typical of the Chinese society of the 16th century until the 19th century. Dozens of modern buildings and old buildings and classical architecture of Europe and China are all mixed to form the identity of Macao.</p>
<p>In downtown Macau, for instance, the Church of Saint Anthony boxed crammed in between flats and houses shops. One of the oldest churches built before the year 1560 and renovated many times this is one of the favorite wedding citizens of Macau. Not far from the Church of Fa Vong Tong (Church of Flowers), &#8220;stranded&#8221; other old buildings.</p>
<p>The name Macau comes from the combination of the words &#8220;a ma&#8221; and &#8220;gao&#8221; which means the Port A Ma. The word &#8220;a ma&#8221; itself refers to the figure of a girl who saves a fishing boat from the storm and landed his ship at the Port of Hoi Keang (names beginning Macau Peninsula). The girl then walked toward the sky and disappearing, supposedly right where the temple stood. When the Portuguese landed in A Ma Gao in the 16th century, they pronounce it &#8220;Macao&#8221;.</p>
