A Journey of Island Jewels & Historic Echoes

Where jade waters meet misty horizons, journey from Hong Kong’s dynamic pulse to Ishigaki’s coral-fringed shores and Naha’s vibrant Ryukyu heritage. Embrace the lush natural beauty of Amami Ōshima before you admire Kagoshima’s sweeping volcanic views. In Nagasaki, reflect on stories of resilience, then savour Busan’s blend of tradition and cultural vitality. At Shanghai’s striking skyline, our Southeast Asian adventure draws to a close.
