Info

Planet Asia was first launched in Taiwan, in 2007. The second version was developed deeply in the fringes of China, in 2008. After being offline for several months now, we have redeveloped the framework, done a master edit of our travel guide series, and added some exciting new community features, which link with our dedidcated city portal, HelloNanjing.net.

During this initial phase of relaunch, feel free to give feedback, and report any technical problems.

We hope to build this site (with the support of some smaller, dedicated city portals, such as HelloNanjing) rapidly over the coming months, so if there's anything we can do for you, please don't hesistate to ask!

Info

The objective of our area guides is to provide well-researched city information in a manner that is pleasant to read and thus easy to absorb. To achieve this effect, we rely on clever, slightly edgy writing within a standard framework of subsections (thanks for Wikitravel for the inspiration) enhanced with stylish typography and images.

Our plan: given the current economic conditions, the chances that tens of thousands of western dreamers will be traipsing about in rice paddies is going to get smaller and smaller. Instead, we imagine that legions will be contemplating a move from west to east – trading in an old way of life, for a new one.

Disillusioned punters in the west, Planet Asia has been created for your benefit.

Have fun in Asia!
