Dreamy Proposal Spots Across Asia
A proposal of marriage should be a remarkable event. As such, it’s worth choosing a suitably remarkable destination for it. You can propose while on vacation, while still surprising your significant other – and there are many amazing destinations that might make for a fitting backdrop.
Many of those destinations are to be found in Asia. If you’re planning a proposal, several Asian locations stand out as worthwhile. Once you’ve picked out a destination, you can pick out a solitaire engagement ring, and start planning what you’re going to actually say.
Ubud, Bali
Ubud lies at the cultural center of Bali, Indonesia. Despite the increasingly tourist-facing approach taken by the rest of the region, this little town has retained a degree of authenticity.
It’s surrounded on all sides by thick jungles, terraces, waterfalls, and other suitably inspiring scenery. You might hire a villa, a proposal beside the Tegenungan waterfall. Among the most impressive attractions here are the Water Palace and the Art Market – but you’ll certainly want to make time for the natural, outdoor experiences, too.
Tokyo Tower or Shibuya Sky
It might be that you’d prefer a more urban backdrop. The glittering Tokyo skyline provides exactly that, which makes a rooftop proposal in the Japanese capital well worth considering.
From Shibuya Sky or Tokyo Tower, you’ll enjoy spectacular views of the city, especially during sunset. You might even enjoy a drink while you’re there. If you head to the city during cherry blossom season, then you’ll make the event that much more picturesque. But be aware that the crowds might be denser at this time of year.
Ha Long Vietnam
This UNESCO-listed body of water is tinged emerald green, thanks to the shallow depth and white bed. It’s surrounded on all sides by soaring limestone cliffs, which helps to make a boat trip through the area all the more inspiring.
If you’re hiring your own boat, then you can find a private moment at sunset to make the proposal. Or, you can find a suitably secluded beach in the area – there are several great ones to choose from!
Honda Bay, Palawan
On the eastern shore of the island of Palawan in the southwestern Philippines lies Honda Bay. This body of beautiful blue water contains a number of picturesque little islets and sandbars, many of which are perfect locations for a proposal. You’ll want to consider a stop at El Nido or Coron, or both.
The Taj Mahal is among the most majestic and iconic man-made structures in the world. Built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, to commemorate his late wife, it’s the most famous mausoleum in the world, and suffused with romantic symbolism.
If you want to see it at its most majestic, visit during the very early morning. The crowds are sparser, and the buildings themselves are all the more inspiring when bathed in rich golden sunlight.
