LP's 2016 Top Destinations in Asia list.
Lonely Planet recently released its annual list of top destinations to visit around the world, including the top 10 destinations in Asia.
Hokkaido, Japan, topped the list for its "year-round charms" and China’s "Shanghai" was second to Hokkaido as "the centre of the universe".

Good. Spread this around to the hipster/backpacker crowd they've been shamed by LP for being in Cambodia.CEOCambodiaNews wrote:Lonely Planet recently released its annual list of top destinations to visit around the world, including the top 10 destinations in Asia.

Update: October, 02/2016 - 09:00
Côn Đảo National Park presently has 14 beaches, covering an area of thousands of square kilometres and providing nesting locations for various kinds of marine turtles, including green, hawksbill, leatherback and Olive Ridley turtles.
“From January to the end of August this year, the mother turtles dug about 2,000 nests on the islands, eggs from 978 nests were hatched and 79,481 baby turtles were released back into the sea,” says Nguyễn Đức Thắng, the manager of the Department of Marine and Wetland Conservation of Côn Đảo National Park.

Re: LP's 2016 Top Destinations in Asia list.
Lonely Planet is basically a disinformation campaign in support of Operation Mindfuck. Whatever they put out is about 10% accurate information randomly mixed in with 90% imaginary, fantasy, inaccurate, out-of-date stuff they pulled out their collective asses.
As for this list:
1. Hokkaido, Japan. Too fucking cold, year-round radiation.
2. Shanghai, China. Huge Chinese city. What's the appeal? Poor air quality? Overcrowding? Expensive shops, restaurants and accommodation?
3. Jeonju, South Korea. I like bibimbap, but this just sounds cold and boring.
4. Con Dao Islands, Vietnam. As bolueeleh says:
5. Hong Kong, China. Huge Chinese city. Hundreds of skyscrapers. "A paradise for food and shopping" = not much to do. The UNESCO-designated Geopark = all the nature has been destroyed, so we had to make some fake green place.
6. Ipoh, Malaysia. "a crop of boutique cafes that have sprung up in its historic quarter" = snobby, snooty and retentious. Also, did not work out so well for Jim Thompson.
7. Pemuteran, Indonesia. Actually, this place sounds OK. This must be the 10% accurate part.
8. Trang Islands, Thailand. It's located in the Circus Formerly Known as Thailand. 'Nuff said!
9. Meghalaya, India. This place also sounds pretty cool.
10. Taitung, Taiwan, China(?). Another "secret" place. Sounds a bit like a cultural zoo. "Hey, everybody! Let's go check out some primitive people's village!"

In other words, there's nothing there. Welcome to Gilligan's Island.birds and turtles and unspoilt beaches?

I may be going to hell in a bucket,
but at least I'm enjoying the ride.
