What is the best country to visit in Asia for Americans?
I'm planning a trip in May. I live in LA and will have one week to spend in Asia, so I want to go somewhere that is safe, rich in culture, and has a lot to see. Anybody have any suggestions?

Go to Fiji Islands...That all answers your quest. It's in South Pacific though.

Singapore is a really nice place in Asia, probably better than most American cities, I would suggest it, although it is lacking a little on the "sites to see" list. Shanghai and Hong Kong are coll cities to see as well.

well, 1st of all. i think that the PHILIPPINES is the best place. theres soo much CULTURE as u asked for and plus most people speak english. dont stay in MANILA, the capital. thats crap. go to BAGUIO city (thats 6 hours north). the people are honest and warm. Especially visit cebu and the southern area called Visayas. there you can swim with the whale sharks. see the smallest primate. (forgot what its called) anyway, yeah goo check it out. :) that's what i think. HOPE u have a great vacation.

Thailand is a good country to visit i went there and i liked it. Its really cheap. People are really friendly the only downside is everyone is going to always ask for money and there alway going to try to sell you something but other than that you would like thailand one more thing i went to Pataya

Safe, rich in culture, and a lot to see? Well, my first thought is China. Mainly because it's extremely rich in culture AND there is a LOT to see! Safety may be of slight concern, but it's not such a big deal, so I think China would be the best choice for you! Japan is safe, and has a lot to see. If you go to Kyoto and Nara, you will find a lot of the traditional culture and sights. Southeast Asia is also good. Places like Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam are very rich in culture, and they offer a lot for tourists. Safety may be more of a concern in Southeast Asia, but most people who use common sense (and perhaps research a little about the country they are visiting) have no problems. Someone suggested Singapore, but Singapore is not "rich in culture", because it is a city. Cities always tend to be more modern and less traditional, so "culture" is difficult to find. Also, there are not really that many sights to see.

americans? go to the Philippines and you will see alot of americans there. anyway, safe: everywhere in the world can have a safe place if you yourself would take care, rich in culture: i would say china and alot to see: what are you looking for? beaches?, historical places? (like japanese and spanish heritage ), shopping malls, bars.. etc.. well, go to the Philippines theres alot you can see there and one more thing, as american, you should go to a country that the people there almost can speak english: Philippines! the only fluent english speaker in asia.

Visit the Philippines, It's less expensive. People speak English, you'll have no problem with communication.

India is the best country for those who love biodiversity and climatic diversities. It is relatively a safe country provided you are honest, a strong believer of 'Live and Let Live Culture' and denounce extremism and fundamentalism of any sort.
