Blank Map of Asia

Asian geography is not typically covered in United States high school curriculum, as far as I know. At least not in great detail. But I do get a lot of emails from people in Canada and Australia and other places who request more maps of Asia. Some of them are studying about Asia in school, and need some study aids like a blank map of Asia. So I decided to upload a small collection of such maps for those people to make use of.

Asia is a huge continent with a lot of countries in it, so you probably can`t just memorize the map of Asia passively. So these blank Asia maps will help you when you practice and quiz yourself, then when time finally comes for your big geography test you will be confident about where all the countries are.




This map doesn`t quite show all of Asia, it just shows parts of Western Asia (though other parts are cut off) and South Asia (including India and Pakistan), Central Asia and East Asia. Some people don`t think of the Middle East or Western Asia when they say the word "Asia", so maybe this map is all you want. But in the two maps above, all of Asia is included, including the Middle East, etc.

Political Map of Asia

Asia is the largest of the world`s continents, and also the one with the biggest population. 60% of the world`s population lives in Asia. It is technically not a continent in geographic terms, but rather a subcontinent of Eurasia. But in political terms it is its own continent, as it is by convention.

Asia is a massive and culturally diverse continent. There is little in common between Jakarta and Tokyo and Riyadh, but all of them are in Asia. More conveninent regional categories exist, such as "Southeast Asia" or "Middle East" or Northeast Asia, which tend to represent more logical cultural groupings and economic partnerships.

Below you can check out a political map of Asia for your reference.





I hope the Asia political maps above were useful!

Map of Korea

Korea is a country that is now divided into two, the communist North Korea and the democratic South Korea. The area of the entire country if reunified is 223,170 square km. And the entire population would be 72,285,392.

South Korea by itself has a total land area of 100,140 square km. Its population is estimated at 48,379,392. North Korea by itself has a total land area of 120,540 square km. Its population is estimated at 23,906,000.

Below you can find a map of Korea for further reference.






If you're heading over to Korea I hope you enjoy your stay. I assume you'll be visiting South Korea. It's a fascinating and exciting country in transition into a fully developed economy, so now is a great time to visit.

Map Of Hong Kong Islands

Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China, and a former territory of the United Kingdom. Many think of Hong Kong as a city, and indeed Hong Kong is a busy and vibrant urban center. But Hong Kong is an area comprising 1,108 square km (428 square miles) of land, including some land connected to the mainland of China, as well as a number of islands.

Hong Kong is broken down into 18 administrative districts, in three main areas. Those main areas are Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories. For all intents and purposes, Hong Kong Island and Kowloon comprise the city we know as Hong Kong, while the New Territories comprise the outlying areas.

Hong Kong has exactly 236 islands. The major ones are Hong Kong Island and Lantau Island. Lamma Island is also an important residential island that can be accessed by ferry from Hong Kong Island.






I hope you found the above map of Hong Kong Islands useful. Hong Kong is a beautiful and dynamic city, so I hope you visit soon!

Climate Map Of Asia

Asia covers a mammoth land area of 49,694,700 km², so it naturally has a large amount of geographic and climatic variation. Climate types range from the deserts and sand dunes of Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf area, to subartic and arctic tundra in northern Russia, to the tropical wet climate of Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, southern Vietnam, and much of Thailand. Much of Northeast Asia (including eastern China, Korea, and Japan) has a temperate climate, classified as either humid subtropical (with hot wet summers and cool dry winters) or humid continental (with a large difference between summer temperatures and winter temperatures).

I live in Osaka, Japan which has a humid subtropical climate. It is very hot and humid in the summer, with short mild autumn and spring seasons, and with a cool-cold winter (you need to wear warm clothing, but we see only a few flakes of snow each year, and it melts as soon as it hits the ground). There is also a rainy season from approximately mid-June to mid-July, when the weather is warm and sticky.

Below you can find a climate map of Asia to illustrate the climatic variation of Asia.







Here is an excellent and very practical climate map of China for travellers to the country. It gives you advice about how to pack and prepare for weather conditions in various regions and different seasons.

Political Map Of Southeast Asia

The Southeast Asia region is generally considered to consist of the following 11 countries: Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. The island of Papua is geographically considered to be in Oceania, but part of the island belongs to Indonesia and is therefore politically considered part of Southeast Asia. Conversely, Christmas Island and the Cocos (Keeling) Islands are geographically located in Southeast Asia but since they belong to Australia, they are politically considered part of Oceania.

The two major areas of Southeast are 1) Mainland Southeast Asia (sometimes known as Indochina) where the dominant religion is Buddhism, with smaller Muslim and Christian
populations; and 2) Maritime Southeast Asia (also known as the Malay Archipelago), where the dominant religion is Islam, followed by Christianity (most notably in the Philippines). The people from the two sub-areas tend to look racially different, with the Mainland people having lighter skin and features comparable to Northeast Asians, while those in Maritime Southeast Asia tend to have darker skin and features more comparable to Polynesians. But there is some overlap, of course.

Here is a Southeast Asia region map showing all the countries in the area, and another political map of Southeast Asia showing country flags. I hope these are useful.

Philippines City Maps

Philippines is a very populous country, with a significant portion of the population residing in the urban centers. Here I've gathered some important Philippines City Maps for your use and convenience.

The largest city in Philippines is Quezon City with a population of 2,679,450, which is actually a part of metropolitan Manila. So effectively they, along with other cities in the area, form one urban area. I think of it as part of Manila.

Manila City itself has a population of 1,660,714 and is incredibly densely populated, with a population density of 43,079 people per square kilometer.


For city maps of Manila, please see this detailed street map of Manila.

This is Cebu City, with a population of 798,809.



Next is Bacolod city, with a population of 499,497.



Here is an overview of the area around Davao city.

Physical Maps of Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia is a subregion of the Asian continent. The classification generally includes the countries south of China, east of India, and north of Australia. Specifically: Brunei, Cambodia, East Timor, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

Southeast Asia consists of two main areas: the mainland connected to the Asian continent's main land mass (for example, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos). And a maritime region of islands (for example, much of Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Philippines, Indonesia, and East Timor).

The largest city in Southeast Asia is Jakarta, with a population of 8,699,600 and a metropolitan area of more than 23 million people. Close behind is Manila, Philippines, and Bangkok, Thailand.

Here are a couple of physical maps of Southeast Asia for you. The first is the best one I could find online. The second lacks some detail, but clearly shows major rivers and mountain peaks.

South Asia Physical Maps

South Asia is, like it sounds, a region in the southern part of the continent of Asia. It's exact definitions depend on the authority, but it usually includes all of the following countries: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and British Indian Ocean Territory (also known as Chagos Islands). Countries sometimes included are Afghanistan, Myanmar, and even Iran (by the UN's definition). I would ignore those choices myself, because they clearly fall into other regions.

Have a look and decide for yourself. Here are some South Asia Physical Maps for your information.

Tokyo City Street Map

Tokyo is a huge metropolitan area. The 23 special wards of Tokyo prefecture (which are collectively considered to be Tokyo City proper)have a combined population of over 8.5 million, making it slightly more populous than New York City. Tokyo prefecture has a population of over 12 million, and the Greater Tokyo conurbation including the urban areas in neighbouring prefectures like Kanagawa and Chiba, has a population of over 35 million people. It is the most populous metropolitan area in the world.

This mammoth size can make Tokyo confusing to navigate, especially since the street name and address system is very different from what you may be used to. Hope this Tokyo City Street Map can help you get around without trouble.
