For those looking for a quiet break from the hustle and bustle of the city, the five pristine destinations on the list below are perfect for this plan.

1. Lao Cai, Vietnam

If you want to admire the beautiful rice fields stretching along the mountainsides, there is no destination comparable to Lao Cai, a mountainous province in the North of Vietnam.

Here, visitors can immerse themselves in the beauty of nature as well as the unique culture in a place that is considered a common 'roof' of 25 different ethnic groups. Lao Cai becomes even more interesting with the excitement of the small town of Sa Pa or experience the journey to conquer Fansipan peak, the highest 'roof' of Indochina.

2. Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, Philippines

The 5km long Puerto Princesa Underground River is recognized as one of the new 7 natural wonders of the world, located in the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River National Park, one of the most famous landscapes in the Philippines.

To admire the entire huge limestone cave, full of stalactites and stalagmites millions of years old, visitors need to row a boat deep inside, through dark, deep cave entrances.

In addition, this is also a park that spreads throughout the region and is also a vast eco-tourism destination with millions of swiftlets living on steep cliffs and many other rare animals.

3. Nong Han Red Water Lily Lake, Thailand

Nong Han Lake, about 50 km from Udon Thani, near the small town of Kumphawapi, is one of the most beautiful red water lily lakes in Thailand. That is why it is locally called 'Talay Bua Daeng', which means 'Sea of ​​Red Water Lilies' in Thai. The ideal time to visit is from December to February every year.

In addition to admiring the beautiful lotus flowers every morning, Nong Han Kumphawapi Lake is also famous for its unique fish and many other species of birds and aquatic plants.

4. Mount Kinabalu, Malaysia

Mount Kinabalu, part of Kinabalu National Park, is a World Heritage Site located on the island of Borneo in the state of Sabah, East Malaysia. The 4,095-meter-high mountain in the Crocker Range is the highest and most conquerable peak in Malaysia in particular and Southeast Asia in general.

Visitors to Mount Kinabalu will be able to admire the surrounding clouds, the overlapping mountains and the colorful houses along the valley.

5. Komodo Island, Indonesia

'Dragon Island' Komodo is located between Subawa and Flores, one of more than 17,000 large and small islands in Indonesia. This place is praised as a paradise with long white sand beaches, clear blue water and mysterious tropical forests.
