Itinerary

Keelung is the gateway to Taipei, Taiwan's vibrant capital. In Taipei, the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and solemn Changing of the Guard showcase national pride, while Elephant Mountain rewards hikers with unforgettable skyline views of Taipei 101. Longshan Temple radiates spiritual grace, and Ximending's lively streets brim with youth culture, food stalls and art. From heritage to innovation, Taipei reveals Taiwan's warmth, creativity and endless appetite for life.

Kaohsiung pairs spiritual calm with creative energy. Lotus Pond's whimsical Dragon and Tiger Pagodas bring luck to visitors, while the Fo Guang Shan Buddha Museum offers serene gardens and a massive golden Buddha. Along the waterfront, the Pier-2 Art Center hums with galleries, murals and local talent, transforming old warehouses into cultural spaces. Kaohsiung is a lively coastal city where art, faith and modern vibrancy come beautifully together.

Hong Kong pulses with energy, where futuristic skyscrapers meet timeless tradition.

Da Nang is a gateway to central Vietnam's treasures. South lies lantern-lit Hội An, a UNESCO World Heritage gem of merchant houses and riverside beauty, while north lies Huế, the former imperial capital crowned by moated citadels and royal tombs. Just beyond the city, the Marble Mountains rise with caves and shrines offering sweeping views of coast and countryside. Da Nang itself blends sandy beaches, cultural heritage and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Golden shores and turquoise seas make Nha Trang, Vietnam's beloved beach capital. Stroll the lively Trần Phú promenade or explore the ancient Po Nagar Cham Towers, a testament to the region's Hindu heritage. Climb to the giant White Buddha at Long Sơn Pagoda for sweeping city views, then dive into the Hon Mun Marine Protected Area, home to colourful reefs and abundant marine life. Nha Trang is relaxation and discovery woven together by sea and sun.

Phú Mỹ opens the door to Ho Chi Minh City's dynamic contrasts and the tranquil waterways of the Mekong Delta. In the city, Ben Thanh Market hums with energy, historic landmarks tell wartime stories and buzzing streets brim with life. At the Củ Chi Tunnels, step into Vietnam's wartime history, or drift through the Mekong Delta past stilt houses, coconut groves and floating markets. It's a journey of culture, resilience and riverside calm.

Singapore is a vision of green innovation and cultural diversity. Stroll beneath towering Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay, then step into heritage districts like Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam. Visit the serene Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO site rich with orchids, or marvel at Marina Bay Sands and its shimmering skyline. From hawker stalls serving Michelin-starred bites to elegant gourmet dining, Singapore is a city that embraces the future while cherishing its roots.
