Pictures of Asia
I found a wonderful website with thousands of photos of Asia, sorted by country. From China to Indonesia, but also from more remote countries like Burma or the destroyed Buddhas of Afghanistan. Every photo has a description. The site mainly concentrates on architecture, but other photographs of the countryside etc. can also be found. I especially recommend the rare pics of North Korea and the extensive photo series of the Angkor temples in Cambodia. They also have nice image-maps, where the position of the taken photos are shown in a map, see for instance the Bulgusksa-Temple in Gyeongju (S. Korea) or the Forbidden City in Beijing (China).

See OrientalArchitecture.com and have fun.
