Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore are among the countries that are full of tourism in Southeast Asia. People in Asia are more interested in travel. So the tourism industry in different countries is now going to another level. But did you know that even within Asia, many cities in Southeast Asia claim to be unique in their beauty, but not so well known to tourists? Anagona of tourists to unfamiliar cities of the known country where the next trip should be planned for their purpose. Our today's event is about some of the cities in Southeast Asia that have not yet been overwhelmed by the crowds of tourists, retaining the original and pure beauty. Let's find out about those unfamiliar cities. 1. Sandakan: Malaysia is a country very close to our country.When we went to Malaysia, we visited Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi. Most tourists have never heard of Sandakan. Indeed, Sandakan can't be loved at first sight, because I'll tell you later. But decades ago Sandakan was the largest city of wooden houses in Asia. During World War II, the impact of Japanese aircraft on Sandakan burned out the beautiful wooden limbs that gave birth to today's concrete Sandakan. Now Sandakan may seem a little cramped, but its markets are still full of ancient ingredients and cheap seafood.
A search of the hills just behind the central city reveals the history and heritage of Sandakan. The mountains are connected to the city by a walking trail that has the status of a World Heritage Site. The famous American author Agnes Keith spent three years in the mountains and wrote three books on Sandakan before and after Japanese rule. Now there is a huge museum on the hill with lots of unique things and authentic fittings, every corner of which tells the history of Sandakan. Watching the sunset of Sandakan from the top of the hill became a hobby of many.

Sandakan is also full of diverse collections of wildlife. A few kilometers away from the main town you will find orangutans at the Sepilak Rehab Center. You will also find Bernian sun-bear bears, monkey sanctuaries, pygmy elephant migration centers, and plenty of crocodile ponds. Seeing so many things, you will not think at all that Sandakan is not a place to visit.2. Nan: Thailand Nan is one of the lesser-known cities in northern Thailand. By the fourteenth century, the city, known as Chiang Klang, had virtually no contact with the rest of the world. The whole world forgot that there is a city in Thailand called Chiang Klang! Nan was part of Lan Na Thai which was the intersection between Chiang Mai (new city) and Chiang Thong (Golden City) which is now known as Luang Prabang.
The city of Nan is very much like the city of Laos in terms of geographical location and beauty. The city was on the verge of being wiped off the map of the world by an attack by the Burmese army in the fifteenth century. The main attractions of the city of Nan are the temples built with their impeccable craftsmanship, especially the famous temple "Wat Fumin". One of the best works of Thai architect Lewis is Wat Fumin which talks about the history of Nan city through its craftsmanship. But if you want to understand the beauty of Nan city, you have to rent a car and drive to its villages. On the way back to town, stop at the "Non Riverside Gallery". This two-story building is the unique origin of Thailand's unprecedented fine arts. There is also a cafe that will make your nan city trip perfect.
3. Dawei: Myanmar Dawei, the capital of Tanintharyi, south of Myanmar, shares the same sea with the Andaman Sea in Thailand. But unlike Andaman, the city is not so touristy, it is very quiet and one of the cleanest cities in Myanmar. The main attraction of Dawei town is its beaches which have not yet been ruined by the coral grass of tourism. Mongmakan is the nearest beach to Dawei city which is quite a favorite of the locals. Some facilities are being developed for tourism lately.

Apart from this, the island of Mosques, which is used as a wildlife sanctuary, is not yet crowded with tourists. Here you can take a motorbike ride along Peninsular Beach and drive to see the rainforest in Tanintharyi National Park.4. Davao: Philippines Davao is the birthplace of the late Philippine President Duterte. Davao is the safest place on the southernmost island of the Philippines, Mindanao. The hospitable local people and several places to visit make the island unique. One of the main attractions here is the Badass Look Out Point in Barangay where you can see the most beautifully formed island in the Philippines, the "Sleeping Dinosaur". In search of higher altitudes and wildlife, you can visit the 1,620-meter-high UNESCO-listed Mount Hemiguitan. There are good hiking facilities to go to Mount Guitan. If your destination is the Philippine beach, head to Pujada Island, 20 kilometers east of Davao Oriental, where it will take only 40 minutes by boat from Mati district. Don’t forget the people of the Philippines are very festive. The most famous festivals of Davao are "Summer Frolic", "Kadayawan Festival" etc.
5. Banda Neira: Banda Neira is an island in Maluku, one of the most remote islands in Indonesia, surrounded by the GunungApi volcano. Just as you have to burn a lot of wood to come to Banda Neira, it is very difficult to leave here because of its enchanting beauty. Within the Dutch East India Company, Banda Neira is the main business center of the town of Nutmeg and Maes.

The spices that are made from the Myristica tree are the famous export products here. Peace-loving travelers come here to take part in all the great activities like diving, snorkeling on the wonderful noisy beaches. In Banda Neyrata, it would seem that you have come to the very edge of Southeast Asia. That strangely beautiful experience cannot be expressed in any language. Let the journey be beautiful and clear.Writer : Sayka Arifin Orpita
