What are the top 5 Asian countries on your Travel List?

If you could travel to any Asian country/region, what would be your first choice? For me, the answer is:
China: Rich culture, diverse landscape, delicious food
Thailand: Great beaches, friendly people, Thai food, ladyboy shows
Japan: Exotic culture, beautiful scenery, cosmetics, hi-tech products
Vietnam: seafood, Halong Bay, colonial buildings
Philippines: Bali, message…
So what are your preferences?

You'd better check the map before you try to find Bali in The Philippines.

Depends on what exactly you're asking. My top five for the next trip are ones I haven't been to yet - Tibet, if you count it separately from China, and the 'stans (although that adds up to seven). If you mean which are my favorite five, obviously you'd get a different answer because it could only include countries I've already visited.

My question is the same as thursdaysd, my favorite 5, or the 5 on my wishlist?

On my wishlist are:
Mongolia
Papua New Guinea
The Philippines
China- for Tibet and Lijiang and the silk road
And all the 'Stans'!

Favourites-
Japan - for food, scenery, culture
Laos - the far north for unspoilt scenery, minority people, remoteness
Vietnam - food, culture and a fascinating history
Cambodia - as above
Malaysia - diversity of cultures, diving and arguably the best and certainly the most diverse of asian cuisine

wishlist-

Tibet
Nepal
