Answer:

some heritage sites in asia are given below ::

1. Luang Prabang, Laos

A historic city nestled in the hills, UNESCO protected Luang Prabang is widely regarded as the jewel in Laos’ glittering crown. The allure of this charming riverside town lies in its faded colonial mansions, gilded temples and saffron-robed monks collecting alms.

2. Borobudur, Indonesia

Surrounded by rice paddies and lofty volcanic peaks, Borobudur in Java has survived over a thousand years of violent earthquakes and ash clouds and remains immaculately preserved. With elegant stupas, intricate carvings and a mystical atmosphere, this is one of Asia’s most important Buddhist monuments.

3. Kyoto, Japan

Having escaped the WWII bombings, Kyoto oozes history and is the undisputed cultural centre of Japan. A whopping 17 sites have been recognised by UNESCO under the collective heading 'Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto', and amongst them are some of the best examples of traditional Japanese architecture and manicured gardens anywhere in the country.

4. Halong Bay, Vietnam

Halong Bay is a spectacular seascape of over 2,000 limestone pinnacles and islands, rising from the emerald green waters of the Gulf of Tonkin. Literally translating as ‘where the dragon descends into the sea’, legend has it that this magnificent landscape was created by a dragon crashing down from the mountains, knocking rocks into the sea below.

5. Kinabalu National Park, Borneo

Home to over 4,500 species of flora and fauna, Kinabalu National Park in Sabah was the first place in Malaysia to be awarded UNESCO status. Undoubtedly the main draw here is the lofty Mount Kinabalu, known as 'Borneo’s roof', with its craggy granite peak soaring 4,095 metres above the jungle below.
