Summer is here with its sweltering heat; it’s time to plan your family holiday. If you are thinking of going on an overseas trip this season, why not to head to one of the fascinating tourist destinations in Asia? These places offer loads of fun for kids and adults alike, sans the crowds. We would suggest the following three destinations.
Hong Kong
Cable car rides, Disneyworld, beach bumming, and loads of shopping – Hong Kong promises everything a family vacation should. Of course, the biggest attraction is the Hong Kong Disneyland where plenty of fun rides, kid shows, Disney Parades, and much more promise a whale of a time. The HK Ocean Park – with a splendid theme park, an aquarium, and a Dolphin Show – is another must-visit attraction amongst families. Tourists seeking an experience that combines fun and learning should visit the famous Hong Kong Science Museum.
Singapore
A wonderful balance of green space and modern development along with countless things to see and do makes Singapore one of the most sought after tourist destinations in Asia. From the picturesque Singapore Botanic Gardens to the exciting Night Safari and from the buzzing Orchard Road to the historical Merlion Park – the Lion City poses the problem of plenty. Summer is definitely a great time to visit, as this is the season when Singapore hosts many spectacular festivals. Singapore International Film Festival (Apr), Singapore Arts Festival (late May-June), and Singapore Food Festival (July) are just a handful of such festivals.
Bali
Bali seems an unbeatable choice for anyone craving a relaxing beach vacation. The Indonesian province features a wide array of attractions that overwhelm one and all. While kids can play along the island’s sandy beaches, adults can try exciting water sports like surfing, paragliding, and diving. Cultural activities like temple hopping, ethnic shopping, and participating in local festivals also make for a wonderful holiday experience. Theme parks such as Bali Bird Park, Waterbom, and Butterfly Park offer loads of fun and merrymaking for kids and adults alike. Not just the attractions, the weather in Bali is also perfect for a summer holiday with the family.
