HONGKONG
1 ) The Kowloon Walled City Park is a historical park in Kowloon City, Kowloon, Hong Kong. It had been a military stronghold since the 15th century due to its coastal location and was a centre of vice and crime until 1987.
2 ) The Nan Lian Garden (Chinese: 南蓮園池; Cantonese Yale: nàamlìn yún chì) is a Chinese classical garden in Diamond Hill, Hong Kong near Diamond Hill station. The garden has an area of 3.5 hectares (8.6 acres). It is designed in Tang dynasty style with hills, water features, trees, rocks, and wooden structures.
3 ) Yuen Po Street Bird and Flower Market.
ISHIGAKI
1 ) The Tōrin-ji Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple was originally built in 1614 and because a 1771 tsunami wiped out much of the city, it is Okinawa’s oldest wooden building. Its carvings (the two big guys on either side of the main gate) also clock in as the oldest surviving ones in the province. As is often the case in Japan, the temple shares space with a Shinto shrine—here, the Gongen-do, which was not as lucky in that 1771 tsunami and had to be rebuilt.
NAKAGUSUKU, Okinawa prefecture
1 ) The Okinawa Prefectural Museum & Art Museum (沖縄県立博物館・美術館, Okinawa Kenritsu Hakubutsukan Bijutsukan) is a museum in the most southern prefecture of Japan. The museum complex in the Omoro-machi area of Naha, the capital city of Okinawa Prefecture.
2 ) Shuri Castle (首里城, Shuri-jō, Okinawan: Sui Ugusuku[3]) was a Ryukyuan gusuku castle in Shuri, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. Between 1429 and 1879, it was the palace of the Ryukyu Kingdom, before becoming largely neglected.
The date of construction is uncertain, but it was clearly in use as a castle during the Sanzan period (1322–1429). It is thought that it was probably built during the Gusuku period, like many other castles of Okinawa. When King Shō Hashi unified the three principalities of Okinawa and established the Ryukyu Kingdom, he used Shuri as a residence. At the same time, Shuri flourished as the capital and continued to do so during the Second Shō dynasty.
UWAJIMA

2 ) Uwajima Castle (宇和島城, Uwajima-jō) is a hirayama-jiro Japanese castle located in the city of Uwajima, Ehime, Japan. An alternate name for this castle is Tsurushima-jō.
