 Manila+Singapore
Manila, It's an experience like no other.By
day, wise buys to great bargains can be made in
its tourist malls and commercial centers. Come moonrise,
in its high-rolling casinos, elegant restaurants,

itself in the celebration of a vibrant and unhibited
nightlife. Singapore... with a land area measuring
just 625 square kilometers, it is, ironically, one
of the world's economic giants and home to its second
busiest port (the first is Rotterdam). But underneath
the towering skyscrapers is a soul that cherishes
tradition and history. Prices start at CNY4,130.
