About Chongqing

Chongqing is a dramatic mountain metropolis in southwestern China, where skyscrapers, steep hillsides, and the meeting of two great rivers create one of the country’s most memorable urban landscapes. The city also serves as a gateway to the UNESCO-listed Dazu Rock Carvings, celebrated for their exquisite Buddhist sculptures dating from the 9th to 13th centuries, while Hongyadong and the old town of Ciqikou add rich local character closer to the center. Its culinary scene is equally unforgettable, led by fiery Chongqing hot pot, xiaomian noodles, and bold flavors built around the signature numbing heat of Sichuan pepper.

About Manila

Manila, the vibrant capital of the Philippines, blends colonial architecture, bustling districts, and a celebrated bayfront into a city rich in history and modern energy. At its heritage heart lies Intramuros, the old Spanish walled city, home to landmarks such as the UNESCO-listed San Agustin Church and Fort Santiago. Manila’s character is just as vivid on the plate, with beloved Filipino flavors found in dishes like adobo, kare-kare, and the refreshing dessert halo-halo.
