MANILA, Philippines - South East Asian Airlines (SEAIR) announced that it is offering discounted tickets anew as it starts flying to Macau next week.

The local carrier said they are selling one-way tickets for the new route at P1,499 each until May 25. These are valid for travel from May 27 to October 25.

This is the second of SEAIR's promos that mark its first flight to Macau. The airline sold one-way tickets to the said destination at P1,340 each last month.

"With its distinctive multicultural legacy and modern developments, Macau has something for every vacationer, whether one prefers sampling Portuguese delicacies like caldo verde (potato and greens in soup) and bacalhau (salt cod) in Taipa village, getting acquainted with the giant statues of Matsu, Goddess of the Sea, and Kun Iam, Goddess of Mercy, or simply admiring the view atop the Macau tower," SEAIR said in a statement.

Macau, located on the Western side of the Pearl River Delta in Guangdong province, is one of the two special administrative regions in China. The other one is Hong Kong.

Previously a Portuguese colony, Macau offers travelers a mix of eastern and western cultures. Among its popular tourist attractions are the Senado Square, A-Ma Temple, Dom Pedro V Theater, Casa Garden and the Ruins of St. Paul's Church.

Macau also has a number of big name casinos such as the Venetian and MGM Grand from the United States, making itself known as the "Las Vegas of the East.

A-Ma Temple. Also called the Barra temple, the A-Ma Temple is the oldest in Macau.  An annual festival is celebrated to pay homage to Macau's most popular deity, the Goddess of Seafarers, from whom the peninsula is said to derive its name.

Statue of Kun Iam. This large-scale representation of the Goddess of Mercy is located at the outer harbor waterfront on Avenida do Coronel Mesquita.  The popular Buddhist goddess plays a special role in protecting children and bringing in wealth.

Ruins of St. Paul's. This iconic landmark is what remains of the 16th century complex that included St. Paul's College and the Cathedral of St. Paul, also known as "Mater Dei".  The cathedral was designed by an Italian priest and built primarily by Japanese craftsmen from 1582 to 1602.  The church facade bears a Latin cross and the bronze statue of Jesus Christ is surrounded by lilies and chrysanthemums, a distinct Asian influence.
