Publisher Lonely Planet was founded in 1972 and is one of the first official publishers that specialize in the production of guidebooks. Today, Lonely Planet is highly respected and famous among travel enthusiasts. That is why you should definitely pay attention to the list of ten most recommended travel destinations in Asia, which the publisher publishes for the third year in a row.

This year, Uzbekistan entered the ranking for the first time and even took an honorable second place, losing only to South Korea. Although the republic is still little known to the world, however, the reforms that began in it will probably soon have a favorable effect on the changing situation.

Concluding the top three, Vietnam and the largest of its cities, Ho Chi Minh City.
