Geography Story: 5 of the most beautiful temples in Asia

Being the birthplace of many religions, Asia has always drawn travelers with its diverse culture, majestic architecture and places of power. Let's take a look at 5 mind-blowing temples located in Asia.

#1 Borobudur, Indonesia

Built in the 800s, this colossal complex remained abandoned for several centuries. It was rediscovered only in the 19th century.

#2 Wat Rong Khun, Thailand

The White Temple is a privately owned building designed by a Thai visual artist. Some of its parts are still unfinished, and the works are expected to take another 50 years to complete.

#3 Ranganathaswamy Temple, India

This brightly colored temple compound is the largest functioning Hindu temple on the planet. A Hindu festival held there in December attracts more than 1 million visitors every year.

#5 Shwemawdaw Pagoda, Myanmar
