Overview

Globetrotting from Mumbai to Melbourne: Dream weekends with practical itineraries throughout Asia & Oceania

Asia and Oceania offer such a wealth of experiences that a lifetime seems too short to appreciate them. But with the right guidance, you can go far in a single weekend.

From the expected (skyscrapers in Hong Kong, beaches in Phuket, sushi in Japan, or surfing in Sydney) to the unexpected (views of Vientiane from a Laotian-style Arc de Triomphe, a mangrove swamp in Brisbane, the mythic beauty of the Li River in Guilin, or amusement park–like public baths in Seoul)—from gleaming metropolises and ancient temples to bustling streetscapes and dense jungles—it’s all covered in this handsomely designed and illustrated book.
