Keep a little mystery in your trip planning: Explorer Picture Mode shows a stylized version of every place instead of the real photo, so you can go by the description and reviews first and picture it your own way -- reveal the real photo any time by flipping the switch off, or just for one place at a time from its own page.

Asia
Asia's geography ranges from the world's highest mountains to some of its lowest-lying coastal deltas. The Himalayas, running along Nepal's northern border and beyond, contain the highest points on Earth, including Mount Everest — a defining feature of South Asia's geography and the reason Nepal remains one of the world's premier trekking and mountaineering destinations.
Southeast Asia is defined as much by water as by land — Indonesia and the Philippines are vast archipelagos (Indonesia alone spans more than 17,000 islands), while mainland Southeast Asia's major rivers, including the Mekong, shape agriculture and daily life across Vietnam, Cambodia, and Thailand.
East Asia combines China's enormous internal range — deserts, mountains, and fertile river basins within one country — with the more compact, mountainous geography of Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, all island or peninsular nations shaped heavily by the Pacific Ocean, including significant volcanic and seismic activity across Japan and Taiwan specifically.
