  Nuclear astrophysics is an interdisciplinary research field of nuclear
physics and astrophysics, seeking for the answer to a question, how to
understand the evolution of the Universe with the nuclear processes which we
learn. We review the research activities of nuclear astrophysics in east and
southeast Asia which includes astronomy, experimental and theoretical nuclear
physics and astrophysics. Several hot topics such as the Li problems, critical
nuclear reactions and properties in stars, properties of dense matter,
r-process nucleosynthesis and $\nu$-process nucleosynthesis are chosen and
discussed in further details. Some future Asian facilities, together with
physics perspectives, are introduced.
