Four Attractive Road Trips in Asia
One way to explore Asia is driving along some of its most impressive roads and Asia has some attractive roads that are great fun. If you want to tour Asia by car, here are four once-in-a-life-time roads to consider.
Nha Trang to Quy Nhon (Vietnam)
Visitors can enjoy beautiful sea views with golden beaches on the ocean side of the road. Every two years, there is a week-long festival where visitors drive the route together and take part in a large celebration. If you want a memorable experience, consider joining in that celebration
The Karakoram Highway (Pakistan and China)
Every year, there are many people who travel long distances to be able to drive or ride a motorbike over the Himalayas on this road connecting China and Pakistan. There are some areas with beautiful lakes and mountains along this road.
The Hokkaido Scenic Byway (Japan)
Hokkaido is one of Japan’s four main islands. Driving along the Hokkaido Scenic Byway will take you through a series of routes around the island that offer beautiful sights.

【推荐3】The New Balance company is a Bostonbased shoe maker whose family of brands include New Balance, Dunham, PF Flyers, Warrior and Brine. They began in 1906, with a 33yearold waiter named William J. Riley producing arch(弓形) supports to help his fellow waiters, police officers and others who spent hours on their feet. He designed his first running shoe in the 1920s and kept expanding his custom shoe(定制鞋) line. In the 1970s the company became an athletic shoe manufacturer. New Balance athletic shoe lines use a numbering system rather than a naming system, as developed by Arthur Heckler.
The New Balance athletic shoe lines serve runners, walkers and other “everyday hero” athletes. The athletic focus of the company has been on the average people rather than on top athletes. While not paying out millions to sports superstars, they sponsor(赞助) running and walking events and organizations to develop more everyday athletes.
New Balance has five US manufacturing plants and is based in Boston, Massachusetts. Some styles sold in the US bear the “Made in the USA” label. But they are also a global company with 2800 branches around the world and products in more than 120 countries.
New Balance shoes come in a variety of widths, from extra narrow to extra wide. This is uncommon for athletic shoes and shows the idea of serving a wide range of everyday athletes. New Balance running shoes are built on two different models to fit different shapes of feet. The SL1 model has a typical forefoot and toe box design for normal to low arch foot types. The SL2 model has more volume in the toe box, a higher instep and a narrower heel. It is designed for normal to high arch foot types.
