The Best Travel DestinationsMost Beautiful Places in the WORLD

Ueno Park was first opened to the public in 1873 and is today one of the prime attractions in Tokyo for tourists and locals alike. With cherry blossoms blooming in the spring and lotuses flowering in the summer, this Tokyo Park is the city’s most beautiful spot for hanami (cherry blossom viewing parties). And with numerous temples, shrines, unparalleled art museums and a zoo, Ueno Park is one of the most cultured Japan attractions. Yet unlike the refinement of the other major Tokyo Park, Ginza, Ueno has always retained the working class roots of the merchants, laborers and rural peasants who have long enjoyed its easy style and unpretentious natural beauty.

HongKong
If you’re more of a city type than a country bumpkin you’ll fall head over heels for the views offered at The InterContinental HongKong Hotel. A room overlooking Victoria Harbour is just the ticket for those wanting to soak up the world’s most dazzling light-and-sound show, with a 13-minute extravaganza of neon-lit skyscrapers and laser beams illuminating the sky each and every night.

Vantage point: We recommend the Presidential Suite for optimum enjoyment of this spectacle, which comes with its own 230-square-meter terrace and cityscape-facing infinity pool. This is what we call tripping the light fantastic.
