====Eastern Asia====
* The [[Ordos Desert]] is rain shadowed by mountain chains including the Kara-naryn-ula, the Sheitenula, and the [[Yin Mountains]], which link on to the south end of the [[Great Khingan Mountains]].
* The central region of [[Myanmar]] is in the rain shadow of the [[Arakan Mountains]] and is almost semi-arid with only {{convert|750|mm|in|0}} of rain, versus up to {{convert|5.5|m|in|-1}} on the [[Rakhine State]] coast.
* The plains around Tokyo, Japan – known as [[Kantō Plain|Kanto plain]] – during winter experiences significantly less precipitation than the rest of the country by virtue of surrounding mountain ranges, including the [[Japanese Alps]], blocking prevailing northwesterly winds originating in Siberia.
