Where in the Asia Pacific region should my wife and I go for a month long holiday?
Question by Havok: Where in the Asia Pacific region should my wife and I go for a month long holiday?
We are teaching in mainland China, and we would like to go someplace hot, and outside of China, for the upcoming Spring Festival. We did Thailand last year, so we would like to go some place new. Some place that is cheap, with nice beaches, (perferably with snorkelling), and is serviced by budget airlines. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I believe Cebu Pacific flies to different destinations in China including Shanghai and Beijing. Boracay is the place to be if you like beaches.
