《孤獨星球》評出亞洲最佳旅行地 中國四川上榜
2018年亞洲哪裏最好玩？還是泰國、新加坡、印度尼西亞麼？權威旅行指南雜誌《孤獨星球》爲大家精心挑選了10個亞洲最佳旅行地，其中不乏冷門旅遊城市和神祕的文明古國，非常適合放鬆身心。我國的四川省也榜上有名。
Often referred to as South Korea's "second city," coastal Busan has taken a giant step out of Seoul's shadow.
號稱韓國“第二城”的海濱城市釜山向前邁了一大步，總算是走出了首爾的陰影。
Lonely Planet just named it the number one destination on its 2018 Best in Asia list.
《孤獨星球》剛剛將釜山評爲2018亞洲最佳旅行地的第一名。
Busan, about a 2.5-hour journey from Seoul, is the country's second largest city and a popular summer destination famous for delicious seafood and picturesque beaches.
距離首爾約2.5小時車程的釜山是韓國第二大城市，也是以美味海鮮和風景如畫的海灘著稱的夏季旅遊勝地。
"A stunning confluence of scenery, Culture and cuisine, Busan packs an eclectic offering of activities to suit all travelers: hike hills to Buddhist temples, settle into sizzling hot springs and feast on seafood at the country's largest fish market," reads Lonely Planet's top 10 list.
《孤獨星球》的榜單上寫道：“釜山薈萃了風景、文化和美食的精華，這裏五花八門的活動足以讓所有旅行者心滿意足：登山遊寺，泡熱乎乎的溫泉，或是在韓國最大的魚市大嚼肥美的海鮮。”
"Poised to steal the spotlight, Busan is East Asia's Culture City for 2018 and will be at its most vibrant with colorful events showcasing the country's cultural heritage, from street art festivals to traditional dance shows."
“榮獲2018東亞文化之都稱號的釜山今年將成爲最具活力的地區，這裏彙集了豐富多彩的活動，從街頭藝術節到傳統舞蹈表演，全力呈現韓國的文化遺產，這座城市似乎隨時準備搶鏡頭。”
Lonely Planet's annual Best in Asia list, now in its third year, features the travel guidebook publisher's top 10 recommended destinations to visit in the year ahead.
這是旅遊指南雜誌《孤獨星球》第三年發佈亞洲最佳旅行地年度榜單，推薦了未來一年最值得一去的亞洲十大旅行地。
"Asia is such a vast and diverse continent for anyone dreaming of an escape," says Lonely Planet Asia-Pacific media spokesperson Chris Zeiher in a statement.
《孤獨星球》亞太媒體發言人克里斯•柴爾在一份聲明中說：“亞洲這塊廣袤而多樣化的大陸適合任何渴望遠方的人。”
"Our experts have combed through thousands of recommendations to pick the best destinations to visit over the next 12 months."
“我們的專家從數以千計的推薦中選出了未來12個月的最佳旅行地。”
Coming in behind Busan is Uzbekistan -- cited for its mosaic-clad mosques and Silk Road lore. Third place goes to Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City, which it calls "a supercity that somehow keeps getting cooler."
榜單上僅次於釜山的是烏茲別克斯坦，入選理由是馬賽克鑲嵌的清真寺和絲綢之路的傳說。第三名是越南的胡志明市，入選理由是“越來越酷的特大城市”。
Much of the list highlights destinations that aren't considered travel hotspots. For instance, Sri Lanka's Arugam Bay -- a surf town on the east coast -- is applauded for managing to "retain its cool as holidaymakers swarm the rest of the country's ancient citadels and hiker-strewn hill stations."
入選榜單的不少地方都不是熱門旅行地。比如斯里蘭卡東海岸的衝浪小鎮阿魯加姆灣，因爲“在斯里蘭卡的古堡和避暑山莊都被度假者和徒步者擠滿時還能保持高冷”而受到讚賞。
Or India's Western Ghats, which offers "an atmospheric mirror to Shimla and Darjeeling, with added jungle appeal."
還有印度的西高止山脈，“氣候與西姆拉和大吉嶺相似，還擁有獨具魅力的叢林”。
But there are some more-than-familiar inclusions, too, such as Chiang Mai. Long one of Thailand's most popular destinations, this northern city has added a few new attractions in recent years that make it worth a repeat visit. Among these are the newly opened, award-winning MAIIAM Contemporary Art Museum.
不過上榜的也有一些我們非常熟悉的地方，比如清邁。作爲泰國長久以來最受歡迎的旅遊地之一，這個北部城市在近年來又增加了幾個新景點，可以故地重遊。新開放的景點中包括獲獎的MAIIAM當代美術館。
Other places were lauded for their improved infrastructure. For example, Indonesia's Komodo National Park, number 10 on this year's list, is more accessible than ever thanks to new flight connections.
還有一些上榜旅行地因爲基礎設施改善而受到讚賞。比如在今年榜單上排名第十的印尼科莫多國家公園，因爲開通了新航班而讓前往這座公園更爲便捷。
