One of the most interesting things about a global visit is indeed how the various cultures around the world use color to differentiate themselves, express their beliefs, and depict their history. Blurringly from sky to land such as the brilliant blues skin of Morocco's Chefchaouen to faded yellows of a smooth Asian gold mining town, wandering trail adventures of Nepal shining town, the eroding of landscape continues while the color and color-related words remain.

The Reds and Golds of Asia
In most of the countries of Asia, the red and the golden colors occupy the physical, cultural, and religious aspects of the landmarks. For example, red is considered to be a symbolic charm that brings the wellbeing and happiness of a person and it is red that usually decorates festivals and weddings in China.
