9 Of The Most Mysterious Destinations In Asia

People often look up beautiful sight-seeing locations around the world, but that’s so cliché. Instead, we thought we’d share with you some of the more mysterious destinations in Asia. Places that will not only visually stun you but also confuse your brain and make you feel either amazed or frightened or both. Some of these places are full of legends and myths, others are so shrouded in mystery there’s literally no explanation for them, not even a made-up one.

1. Wat Rong Khun, Thailand

This is one of the most bizarre Temples you’ll see in Thailand. It was designed by Charlemchai Kositpipat, a Thai visual artist. It’s basically a work of art but it’s so weird and mysterious you might get creeped out. The Temple is completely white, yet full of weird sculptures, murals of Hollywood celebs, arms reaching out from the ground, skulls hanging in weird places and skeletal figures all around. It’s pretty eerie if you ask me.

2. Mustang Caves, Nepal

The Mustang caves in Nepal are wrapped in mystery. They’re situated in one of the most isolated places in the Himalayas, the landscape there is very different from the rest of Nepal, and there are 10 000 caves in a completely vertical rock formation. How were they created? What was the purpose? Some think they were burial grounds, others believe they were living quarters, but no one knows for sure.

3. Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, Myanmar

Kyaiktiyo Pagoda is a famous yet mysterious Buddhist site in Burma. It’s essentially a massive Golden Rock balanced on the edge of a cliff. It looks like it’s defying the laws of gravity. It’s not clear how this is possible and how did that rock end up there and why does it remain there without budging, but the legend says it’s balancing on Budhha’s single hair.
