Hello fellow Steemians!

I am starting the week #49 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.

After today´s Asian photo contest, the 7 World’s Continents Photo Challenge will be followed as per below rotation and then starting again with Asia on next Sunday.

• Monday: Australia and New Zealand
• Tuseday: Antarctica + the world’s oceans
• Wednesday: Africa

As a national symbol of Cambodia, Angkor Wat is the country’s prime attraction that draws a large number of visitors all year round. It's even printed on the national flag. Despite the crowds, watching sunrise over the towers is an unforgettable experience for me. Enjoy this beautiful scene right after the sunrise!

Ho Chi Minh City, formerly known as Saigon, is the largest city in Vietnam with 12 million people. With that many people, it's not easy to keep a city clean. But from my experience there, workers do an incredible job to keep the city spotless. On an early morning walk, I spotted these two city workers doing their part to clean up the dirt and garbage.

YANGSHUO south of GUILIN - China

You may remember the fisherman images. This is the river where the photo shooting took place from above. The shots were taken right before sunset. Love this scenery with the mountains in the back, the wild forest on the left and the river creeping through the landscape. Too bad we didn't have more time to explore the area. It's about 45 min south of Guilin.
Have a great start into the week everybody!

I certainly remember those pics. The river looks very majestic. Stunning!

Grand Palace in Bangkok, Thailand

Thailand is a monarchy and the king has a very high importance for Thai people. When I visited Thailand in late 2016, the king had just passed and the Grand Palace was visited by Thais dressed in black from all over the country who were grieving for their king.

I have also posted this photo on my blog.

The Sanctuary of Truth is one of the most impressive buildings I have ever seen. It's a 105 meters high religious construction in Pattaya that is entirely made of wood and filled with sculptures based on traditional Buddhist and Hindu motifs. This masterpiece of wooden architecture is still under construction and it’s scheduled to be completed in 2050.

The Old Russian Van in Central Asia

Central Asia brings many things to mind. Big mountains, the steppe, old Russian Vans, yaks. Here are some of the highest peaks on the planet. Rising up as a big ice wall. On the silk road, of course, but there are easier ways around some of these peaks. Enjoy the view and still running tech.

This is also posted on my blog.

What a random thing in such a pristine environment.

Hahaha! Agreed! Thanks!

Nap time in the street of Yogyakatra, this rickshaw wallah is having a sleep while waiting for customers. The rickshaw bikes are different depending on the country you find them and these Indonesian one have a couch in the front rather than at the back.

They sure have some tough life.

Took this photo in a trip to Vietnam. We were visiting Mekong delta, and the tour included a little boat trip in some of the river's canals. Here, the lovely lady that was driving the boat, while preparing it for the trip.

We are so small...Majesty of nature in Railay Beach, Thailand. A unique beach landscape in the land of smiles can let you understand that we are just tiny visitors in a perfect universe!

I would love to jump in there right now:)

The Terracotta Army is composed of more than 8000 Soldiers and horses funerary statues. The figures, dating from approximately the late third century B.C. were discovered in 1974 by local farmers in Xi’An, China. The fact that we can admire them today is amazing. Also, all statues are unique. Wow!

That sure is a magnificent piece of history!

Pokhara, Nepal
Pokhara is Nepal's second most populated city after Kathmandu, but feels world's apart from the hustle and bustle of the capital. Best known as the gateway to the world famous Annapurna trek, it also sits on Phewa Lake. You can hire one of these boats to take you across the river where you can climb up the mountain to visit the World Peace Pagoda.

Nepal seems to be a very fascinating country. I hope to visit one day.
