Hello fellow Steemians!

I am starting the week #42 of my 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge and we are back to the continent of Asia.

If you like to participate, place your personal image from your travels in Asia in the comment section below with a short 30 to 50 word description. Only use of personal images will be accepted and only one picture can be submitted for a daily photo challenge. Ten winning photos will receive a bigger upvote from me and ten runners-up will get a smaller one.

Chosen from the ten winning entries, the absolute winner of the day will receive extended publicity in my post tomorrow morning. I will also visit his/her blog to upvote one of the most recent posts. The winning picture of the daily challenge will then automatically enter other rounds with the absolute winner gaining approximately 200 SBD in total. So far I have given out thousands of dollars in upvotes and hundreds of SBD in rewards.

It doesn't get much more spectacular than seeing the sunset in Dubai from the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. While I got to spend some time on the 147th floor observation deck, I think this one is from the 125th floor deck which also offers some great views. While I don't expect someone would spend a lot of time here, it's definitely worth seeing on a visit to Dubai.

Those wies from up there sure are spectacular.

#Angkor Wat
The Temple of all temples, the incredible site of Angkor Wat, Cambodia (near Siem Reap. As if you'd be walking through the filmset of Disney's Jungle Book, you will find yourself in ancient ruins inhabited by monkey gangs how are really interested in taking your stuff. And since we are the intruders, one cannot blame them. Cambodia may be one of the poorest countries in the world, but the people I met were the kindliest of all. The less they have, the more they give! Some attitude tourists can learn from.

Angkor Wat, what a master piece!

Well captured, you had a great light. I remember being caught under the monsoon while visiting the temple. It gave me a lot of time to explore the inner architecture :)

^^, yeah right I was lucky. 4 days of sun

Such an amazing shot. So jealous right now. This place is one of the treasures that is on my list to travel to.

Thank you. Those temples don't go anywhere^^

What a fascinating entry. Thank you so much for sharing.

Railay Beach Viewpoint, Thailand

Located near Krabi, Railay Beach is a popular spot for rock climbing. I do some rock climbing myself, but in Railay I went on a different kind of climbing trip when I scrambled up a small trail to reach this beautiful viewpoint - covered in mud.

I have also posted this photo on my blog.

I stayed there in April for around 2 weeks. Amazing place!
Great picture @jpphotography!

Awesome shot. I can't wait to see the rest of your travel photos.

That is absolutely wonderful!

This is an amazing view of twilight in the Mosque which is the Islamic tourism in Aceh, Indonesia. The mosque was named Baiturrahman Great Mosque, located in downtown Banda Aceh.

Every day thousands of local tourists, tourists from various regions, and tourists around the world visit this mosque to see the uniqueness of the building which is one of the witnesses of the tsunami disaster Aceh in December 2004 ago. Tourists can also enjoy the colorful twilight beauty while in the yard of this Mosque, of course when the weather is sunny.

Riding in a hot air balloon is the best way to enjoy the panoramic view of Cappadocia. That one hour flight was the most enjoyable moment in my life. It reminds me of how beautiful this world can be.

What a perfect way to go around:)


Enjoy the natural beauty of the sunset at the beach "Alue Naga" Aceh, Indonesia. The beach is located on the outskirts of Banda Aceh. The beach was once in the waves of the tsunami is a busy place inhabited by the fishermen who live on the beach.

What a tremendous image!


UAE - the country of miracles and one of the most interesting places to visit is Dubai Marina. Beautiful recreation place - water channel surrounded by skyscrapers.
Most fun begins right after sunset when the buildings switching on illumination

Shot on pretty long exposure to freeze the water in the channel

Enjoy the scenery!

"Lhoknga Beach" A beach face to face with the Indian Ocean, a beach with lots of visitors on weekends.
On this beach, there is also a "Surfing" activity although not much like on the beach "Kuala Cut".
however, many local and foreign tourists who play "Surf" here.
According to the sources I get from residents around.
In the past, the coastal "Lhoknga Beach" is a coast that is always hunted by the tourists, both local and foreign.
it's because it's a very beautiful beach, and the waves on this coast is also world-class.
However, after the 2004 tsunami that hit Aceh, the coast was severely damaged so that local and foreign tourists moved to the "Kuala Cut" coastline, which is only a few meters from the "Lhoknga Beach" or just separated by some of the coastal villagers' houses Lhoknga ".

Warm regards @czechglobalhosts

Thank you so much for your submission and this wonderful image.
