The culture of Asia is more than just alive; it’s singing, sewing, hunting, and dancing throughout the hemisphere. It’s in the stretching neck rings of the Kayan women of Loikaw, in the facial tattoos of Myanmar’s Chin, in the smiles of the Luang Namtha of Laos.
The tribal culture of Asia is a vast repository of cities, shrines, and temples that document the heritage and tradition of the region.
