While most of the world is still stuck inside its borders, summer is upon the northern hemisphere once again and the itch to go on vacation is growing stronger as the days get hotter. While you may not be able to go to your favourite Asian destinations this summer, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is coming to the rescue.
Today, we've gathered the best destinations of Asia and the Middle East that you can explore in the Microsoft Flight Simulator. We've got something for everyone, high rise buildings for the city boy, historic landmarks for the history nerd inside you and a few serene and natural spots to have a relaxing flight. You may find our list a wee different from your average summer vacation guide since you can only glide through the skies, so we've only included the places that look absolutely stunning from the skies.
The best way to explore these destinations is on a small and slow glider, something like an ICON A5 or a Flight Design CTSL. A slow plane will give you the most bang for your buck and allow you to go descend low and explore these destinations up close. Cities Tokyo Tokyo, Japan
When we're talking about cities in Asia, you can't really kick off the conversation without mentioning Tokyo. Take off from the Narita International Airport situated right outside Tokyo city. When the sun sets, the city wakes up on the cusp of sky-high buildings lit with lights. The centre of the city is marked by a huge Tokyo tower that's lit up in different colours depending on the time of the year. Shanghai Shanghai, China
