What's your favorite explorable area ?

Old ascalon. It's ugly but any place like that would be a playground for me and my Jeep without the treehugging dweebs cramping my style.

Definitely the jungle for me next the under city in Factions.
the rest is ok

The Falls is my favorite.
Ayuhmii Shanbwa
proph is my favorite campaign, jungle is my favorite place
hmm, then i guess Tangle Root is my favorite exploreable area
reason? well, there's a few different parts, like trolls + moss scarabs and another part has wind riders, bad enemies, but good old times
The Falls is also a nice exploreable area, mostly cuz you had those annoying centaurs and their traps, so its a relief you got away from them, lol
so this area ins my number 2, i think
and both areas are in the subject "nostalgia" and the jungle isnt very crowdy
*good old times
* ahum...

Pongmei Valley, where all the canthan cultures mix

One room - the one in the Dungeon with the burning trees in it. Cathedral of Flames is it? Can never remember the names of these places!!!
Absolute Destiny
Prophecies - Anvil Rock; first place I ever farmed by myself
Factions - Jaya Bluffs; great view of the beach faaaaar below, and feather farming is FUN!
Nightfall - The Alkali Plain, especially the Monolith temple. Major lightbringer points anyone?
EOTN - Ice Cliff Chasms, just because it's about the only place in EOTN where you can just lean back and marvel at the beautiful sky and reflections off the ice...instead of constantly fighting for your life.

Prophecies - The pre-searing catacombs. Then the rest of pre-searing. The post searing areas aren't as distinct and well developed as those in the later games. Lots of snow, but EotN has so many great snow regions with so many more features to them. The crystal desert areas aren't as distinct as the desolation either. I feel that the later games just outdo these areas.
Factions - Pongmei Valley. This probably has something to do with the fact that it comes after a gigantic city maze that's a horrible chore to find your way through. Then suddenly theres a huge expanse of green plains with lots of easy creatures to kill. It's so welcoming.
Nightfall - Mehtani Keys. They were getting better at filling regions with details in NF so this was a much harder choice. Vabbi and Kourna are so beautiful, but something about the keys makes it the prettiest spot. I had to save it for last in my vanquish.
EotN - Pretty much all amazing. Each region is so distinct it's very hard to decide. Maybe Dalada? I really don't know.
Elite Areas - The Chaos Planes. Someone earlier mentioned this as well and I was wondering if it had to do with the huge number of Ectos that drop here, but it's not just that. There's something so incredibly calm about the place. It's also the one part of the underworld that feels like it really could be part of an afterlife.

Pick an explorable area on Shing Jea island, and that'll be my favorite.
The Shing Jea areas represent Guild Wars at its best, in my most esteemed opinion.

Mr Whomp
Sunqua Vale is without a doubt my favourite zone in Guild Wars. The juxtaposition of the ominous clouds and the beautiful landscape was the first thing I remember of Guild Wars, as I never played until Factions' release.
I have to also agree with the poster above me. Shing Jea, in my opinion, represents the essence of Guild Wars. What that essence is differs for everyone I'm sure, but for me it's the perfect region. The green grass that often fades in the snowy bluffs always catches my eyes, and the slight breeze that you can quite often catch on the trees is also one of my favourite parts of Shing Jea island.

Mineral Springs for sure

Maishang Hills. I like it so much I vanquished it repeatedly to max my Luxon title.

I loved exploring just about any area in Prophecies. There's always something unexpected and interesting.
Oddly, I love the crystal desert, especially The Arid Sea. There's just something so haunting, mysterious and beautiful about that area with its ruins, that colossal statue and the stories of bleached bones.
I also love areas of the Shiverpeaks with the snow falling and the white mountains. That time I stumbled upon the statue of Grenth in Lornar's Pass was cool. I was awestruck.
The other day I was out mapping an area of Gates of Kryta mission, and the water there is gorgeous.

I just love the glowing blue stuff, chasms, and as you mentioned, how calm it is. It's so simple, which is part of what makes it so cool.

Just about all of the explorables in the Tarnished Coast are my favorites. I love how Riven Earth and Sparkfly Swamp all feel like real jungle areas, much more so than the lush parts of Kryta or even the Maguuma Jungle.
Plus, there's dinosaurs there.

Pretty much all of them? One of the reasons I really like Guild Wars is that the environment is pretty fantastically gorgeous.
One feature I wish would be implemented is a "Tourist" mode. Removes all enemies from the map, or makes them neutral to you, or something. Allows you to just wander, take screenshots, et cetera without always getting attacked.

The Arid Sea when you can see the huge statue of a female warrior and then what happens when you get closer =]

Just like many others I have a long list but will shorten it as best I can.
Pre-Searing - I can still remember my first fight with a scale in the river.
Anvil Rock - loved fighting my way up high for a good view.
The Scar - another battle and climb for a view.
Perdition Rock - a real change and another set of nice views.
Boreas Seabed - strange place with another good view from up high.
Garden of Seborhin - I so wish this was my Guild Hall!
Riven Earth - I spent way too much time standing on the bridge taking screenshots.

Personally i like Mehtani Keys in Elona/nightfall and the beach on Gates of Kryta in Tyria/Prophecies
all that pretty clear water and the sharks swimming around make me wanna go for a swim

Drakkar Lake for me

Riven Earth is my favorite. The rope bridges and the floating stone bridge were amazing.
FabioLyone
Sorrows Furnace is my number one. It's beautiful at points, and very jarring at others. I loved presearing as well.

Alcazia Tangle, for the DINOSAURS!

In Prophecies my favorite is the beach in Gates of Kryta. It's just so amazingly pretty, and I've taken many screencaps there.
Factions...hmm...probably Sunqua Vale and Melandru's Hope. I started really playing with Factions, so stepping out of the Monastery into Sunqua Vale was just breathtaking.
Nightfall...I've got a lot of favorites. Mehtani Keys is just gorgeous; I also love the Mirror of Lyss and Garden of Seborhin. Vabbi in general is lovely. I also really like the Realm of Torment; despite how creepy the area is, it's also amazingly pretty. And I love the color purple
EOTN is also hard, because all of the areas are amazing. Probably Dalada Uplands and Riven Earth are my favorites.

Pongmei Valley =)
I remember playing through canthan story for first time...
You were playing in ugly dark Undercity and crap like that.... And then during one Quest you come out of the City and enter this beautifull area with forest on the one side and jade sea on the other side. It was just awsome to see some REAL area again...
Also its my favourite place for chestruns so... :P

Beacon's Perch - I just love that the outpost crosses over the "explorable" area and climbing to the top of the mountain to enjoy the view.
Also, Zen Daijun after completing the mission with Factions characters. It's such a relief to be able to explore and view an entire zone without having to fight a mob every 10 feet.

Sorrow's Furnace - So many memories. When you first walk in its depressing, start making your way through the dungeon and its a cold place filled with ice, go down deeper and you get a lush green cave full of life, go down even deeper you get the metal works filled with lava and fire. place just made me feel alive.
Pre-Searing: Fond memories of lush green hills and cold icy mountains that were just beautiful. The catacombs were just epic as well and felt like you first dungeon in the game.
Noob Island in Factions: Was nice to start a new character in this place. Felt like pre-searing but also didnt at same time.
Pongmei Valley: Always nice to make it out of the ghetto.
Echovald Forest: Was very cool place once u went deep into it. Lush waterfalls and scenery.
Jade Sea: For some reason when I need to visit the jade sea I feel like playing porcelain by moby and I hate moby.

i really have a lot of respect for the art in guild wars so no area's are really my favorite but i like them all, they all say something in their own words if you know what i mean. i still walk around sometimes going "ooo, aaaahhh" after years of playing lol
Firefighter Fred
The entire southern shiverpeaks, snakedance in particular though
Grav
Pretty much anywhere in EotN, but would nominate Riven Earth in particular. I just vanquished the area yesterday and discovered the floating stone bridge for the first time. Awesome stuff.
ajaxfetish
The Forum Highlands, particularly the grand forum of Vabbi section with the Font of Lyss.
Ajax

Porkchop Sandwhiches
There are some fishing villages in pre-searing Wizard's Folly (around where you can find Aidan) which is hands down my most favorite area in game.

Nah just kidding, I kinda like Sacnoth Valley for it's unique burning forest (excluding fow).
I tend to enjoy every map I walk across though.
