5. In the Land of the Holy Monks - Arcadia World Cosmos Global Travel Films

Feb 6, 2025  •  TV Shows
Surrounded by the Himalayas, the highest mountains in the world, lies a hidden treasure, the highlands of Tibet, one of the most fascinating regions on Earth. In Lhasa, the capital of Tibet that is also known as 'city of the gods', religion plays a special role in the lives of its population and hordes of pilgrims pack themselves into the sacred route that leads around the Jokhang Temple, Lhasa's most important sacred building. The origin of the most famous building in Lhasa is the Potala Palace that dates back to the time of Songtsen Gampo in 637 A.D. It became known worldwide mainly due to its function as having been the former seat of government of Tibet and as the official residence of the Dalai Lama. Drepung Monastery was once the richest monastery in Tibet, as can be seen by the abundant furnishings of the monastery, despite the dramatic events of the more recent past. In contrast with many other Tibetan monasteries, this holy district suffered little destruction and the Cultural Revolution that was forced upon Tibet by China only brought about a temporary lull in the life of the monastery. One of the biggest and most important monuments of Tibet's sacred architecture is the amazing Kumbum Chorten, a three-dimensional mandala that can be entered. After the ritual journey through Kumbum Chorten, the route symbolically passes through the entire Buddhist path of deliverance to as far as Nirvana. Tibet, the 'land of holy monks', on the roof of the world, has a truly unique atmosphere and is most certainly a land that breathes original beauty and remarkable monastery culture.

6. Indochina - Arcadia World Cosmos Global Travel Films

Feb 6, 2025  •  TV Shows
Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia form the geographical and cultural region of Indochina, a word created at the beginning of the 19th Century to highlight the influence of China and India on this part of South East Asia. Due to its magnificent natural landscapes and variety of historic sanctuaries, Vietnam is one of the most interesting counties in Asia and despite its 3 million inhabitants, the capital city of Hanoi has a relatively calm, old fashioned and provincial atmosphere. South of Hanoi, in the Gulf of Tonkin, the delta region of the Song Hong extends into one of the most beautiful natural miracles in the world, Ha Long Bay, in which both small traditional fishing boats and pleasure boats move between its 1,600 islands. Economically, Cambodia is a third world country but its many cultural treasures indicate its rich history. The country's most famous sanctuary is Angkor Wat, which measuring 1,200 meters long and 800 meters wide is the largest sacred building in the world. In Laos, that unlike Cambodia, has no access to the sea. Time seems to have stood still. With picturesque karst covered mountains as a backdrop, the small town of Vang Vieng enjoys a beautiful location and has developed into a popular tourist destination, especially with backpackers from all over the world who are in search of adventure. The Khmu Tribe is one of Laos' primeval peoples, that is the largest sub-group of the Lao Theung tribes, that earn their living mainly in agriculture by the planting of rice and coffee, as well as through animal breeding and hunting. Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia: three neighboring countries that form one of the most fascinating cultural areas in the world. Exotic gems with a dramatic history.

10. Chile - Arcadia World 7 Days Travel Films

Feb 6, 2025  •  TV Shows
Chile was given its name by the Incas who respectfully called it Chili, 'the country in the south'.Santiago De Chile, the capital of Chile, is dignified, modest and European-looking and also lively, modern and full of Latin temperament. The Plaza De Armas is the heart of the city and the historic centre of colonial Santiago that contains the city's most important buildings.The city of Valparaiso or, Paradise Valley, is around a hundred and twenty kilometres from the capital of Santiago De Chile on the Pacific coast. The city's development was closely connected with its harbour which brought it wealth and power. Since the middle of the nineteenth century, escalators have rattled up and down the steep hills of the harbour city with forty five hills flanking the bay, each of them covered with a number of tiny wooden huts.Only a short journey on a gravel road and the Atacama Desert begins. At its centre it is the driest desert in the world where the forces of nature have turned it into an extraordinary landscape. The Atacama extends between the Pacific Ocean and the Cordilleras, an area of stone and sand that is perforated only by various frequently dried out salt lakes.For those ships that sailed around Cape Horn, Ancud represented a safe harbour on the journey north in which they could rest after sailing the stormy waters of the South Pacific. At a time when whales and seals were hunted in the Antarctic, Ancud served as a supply station along the route to the southern Polar sea.From the Atacama Desert in the north to as far as the stormy Tierra Del Fuego in the south, Chile is a country rich in contrast. Volcanoes, arid deserts, salt lakes, lively geysers, sandstone mountains and a cosmopolitan city. All of this is to be found in Chile, a country at the end of the world!
