Green coverage rates in ASEAN capitals clearly reflect how much each country prioritizes sustainable urban development.

Cities with high green coverage, such as Singapore and Hanoi, demonstrate long-term investment in green spaces, effective urban planning, and improved quality of life for residents.

In contrast, cities with lower green coverage often face strong pressure from rapid urbanization, high population density, and limited land availability, resulting in a lack of public green spaces. This disparity highlights the urgent need to balance economic growth with environmental protection in ASEAN cities.

A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME: THE 3 GREATEST ANCIENT CITIES OF SOUTHEAST ASIA

If you’re a history buff, an architecture lover, or simply someone who craves "timeless" vibes, these three legendary sites are absolute must-adds to your bucket list! All are UNESCO World Heritage sites, yet each carries a completely unique soul.

ANGKOR WAT (Cambodia) – "The Empire of the Gods"
More than just a temple, this is the ultimate symbol of the Khmer Empire’s peak power.
The largest religious stone monument in the world. From the intricate bas-reliefs stretching for kilometers to the giant tree roots reclaiming the ruins at Ta Prohm.

MY SON SANCTUARY (Vietnam) – "Echoes from the Ancient Kingdom"
Tucked away in a lush green valley in Central Vietnam, My Son was the spiritual heart of the ancient Champa Kingdom. The mysterious red brick technique. Despite centuries of weathering and the scars of war, these bricks remain perfectly fitted without any visible mortar. Peaceful, poetic, and hauntingly beautiful, especially when watching the graceful Apsara dances performed amidst the ruins.

AYUTTHAYA (Thailand) - "The Golden Capital on the River"
Once one of the world’s most prosperous cities, Ayutthaya is a stunning blend of Khmer influence and traditional Siamese art. Towering bell-shaped Chedis and the famous Buddha head entwined in the roots of a Banyan tree at Wat Mahathat. A nostalgic walk through red brick ruins that whisper stories of a glorious golden age.

Three cityscapes of Southeast Asian capitals.

1. Bangkok – Capital of Thailand. The skyline features modern high-rise buildings alongside ornate golden-roofed structures, likely including the Grand Palace complex, a iconic historical site.

2. Phnom Penh – Capital of Cambodia. The view showcases a mix of modern skyscrapers and older urban areas, with traditional Khmer architectural elements visible in the foreground. Note: The label has a minor spelling error – it should be "Phnom Penh" (not "Phen").

3. Hanoi – Capital of Vietnam. The skyline includes contemporary high-rises interspersed with denser, lower-rise residential and commercial areas.
