Pacific Rim and Her Four Tigers

The East has always been a fascinating place.
More so when you step into the basin of this island littered part of the world.
Here you find four countries known as the Four Tigers.
Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Korea.
Each island with Korea and Hong Kong joined to China.
Each, a tourist destination worth visiting.
Besides the unreadable signs you soon find friendly people, and though they differ in many ways they also have the same dreams and hopes.
The more you get to know them the more you like what they are and the values they stand for.
Hong Kong A British colony that now belongs to China is in a sense like New York and London.
It is a financial hub around which the East turns.
You can find a connecting flight to any place in the world from here.
With so many Indians you will find someone that can speak English on every street corner.
Tourism is a large part of the economy.
A declaration between Britain and China secured the position of Hong Kong so that it will stay the same for the next fifty years as of 1997.
Hong Kong follows a policy of free trade and as products are less expensive this contributed to the place being very prosperous.
Clean streets and a good transport system.
The traveler will find the water, lights and shopping very alluring and one of the best times to visit Hong Kong is during the Christmas season.
Taiwan This island also known as Formosa is off the coast of China.
Chiang Kai shek and his followers were forced from the mainland and thus Taiwanese people do not see themselves as Chinese.
They want to be called Taiwanese and the battle with China is continuing since China holds on to its authority over the island.
But with an island filled with intelligent people the economy grew very fast.
Economically very strong with a workers corpse that are very productive.
Taipei is where most visitors will end up and if you have time go down the East coast to Hualien or simply visit spectacular temples and monasteries by the dozens.
Mainly Buddhists you will also see temples built for followers of Confucius, Matsu and other deities.
   Korea North Korea belongs to Russia and the South to America.
The two have been in a constant battle.
That contributes to the fact that the South is much more prosperous than the North.
While the North remains isolated from the West Korea is worth a visit and many Western people teach English to the children.
Singapore The last of the Four Tigers is the smallest and a bit further away from China than the rest.
It has four official languages such as Tamil, English, Mandarin and Malay.
They obviously come from the Indian, English, Chinese and Malaysian influence.
The regions around it also influenced the religious part and you can find Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Christianity and Taoism and Confucianism here.
It is also a very prosperous nation with a very busy port and a strong manufacturing backbone.
     The Four Tigers are all easy to reach and while some may be more tourist friendly, they all deserve to be on your list of tourist destinations.
Use the travel search engines to find suitable flight tickets and accommodation.
