📍 Routing & layovers
🌃 The 12-hour Xiamen layover on the way home — make it count.
Your return lands at Xiamen (XMN) at 00:10 and doesn’t leave until 12:10 — a full overnight on the ground. Two good ways to play it:
• Rest first: grab a few hours at an airport transit hotel or a budget room near XMN, then head out fresh in the morning.
• Or explore Xiamen: it’s only ~20 minutes from the airport to the city. After a short sleep you can catch the early ferry to Gulangyu Island (UNESCO, car-free colonial streets), see Nanputuo Temple, or stroll the Shapowei old wharf cafés and Xiamen University before your noon flight.
EU/UK passports get China’s 240-hour visa-free transit when continuing to a third country with an onward ticket — confirm at check-in.

🌍 About Manila
Manila has the oldest Chinatown in the world — Binondo, founded by the Spanish in 1594 and still the best place in the city to eat. Skip the malls and go there for fried dumplings, roast pork, and hopia, the flaky mung-bean pastry; the lunch crowds at the century-old panciterias know what they're doing. The other half of the story is Intramuros, the walled Spanish colonial quarter, where San Agustín Church (finished 1607) was the only building left standing in the district after the 1945 bombing. One honest warning: Manila traffic is genuinely punishing, so plan short hops rather than cross-city dashes. Come January to April for the dry, cooler stretch (24–31°C, almost no rain); June to October brings the monsoon and real typhoon risk, so a cheap wet-season fare can buy you a washout.
