Malé in 3 days: the world's most densely populated capital (65,000 people per km²), where the entire country is under 1.2m above sea level, where the overwater villa was invented in 1972 (and has since been copied by every tropical resort on earth), where Buddhist statues were systematically destroyed in 1154 CE, and where a Chinese-built bridge in 2018 created the first fixed link in Maldivian history.
