17 Photos of International Borders Around Asia

Traveling around the Southeast, the South, or East Asia is a backpacker’s dream, and whenever possible, the goal is to cover most of the areas with their feet on the ground. Taking every form of public transportation possible gives the traveler more sights to see and more adventures to create in an affordable price unlike air travel.

However, traveling by land doesn’t mean you’ll get away from immigration offices and borders. Some borders may look like your typical fenced land, some have unique structures, some look worthy enough to be in a postcard, and some are lost in the middle of nowhere. Take a look at the 17 borders you’ll find around Asia.
