Nature on your doorstep
Whether it is the fringes of New York or the heart of steamy Singapore, nature is everywhere you're not looking in some of Earth's most notoriously crowded big cities. From river walks to mountain peaks and everything in between, outdoor adventure is often just a few stops on the train - or a short drive - away from the maddening crowds. Here are a few favorites to get you going:

Wintering at the Med
If you book your Club Med winter holiday before September 28, you can get up to 50 percent off on land stays.

Oasis of calm
If you want a Bangkok holiday but without the notorious noise and traffic jams, try the Riva Surya Bangkok. The newly opened 68-room boutique hotel is set on the preserved Rattanakosin Island on the Chao Phraya River.

Destination Iloilo
The Philippines' largest national carrier, Cebu Pacific Air, is launching twice- weekly flights from Hong Kong to Iloilo on November 8.

Sail down the Yangtze
Take the slow boat in the mainland and gently destress. The China Guide, an American-owned travel company based in Beijing, is now offering a variety of Yangtze River cruises through the scenic Three Gorges.

From coast to coast
Costa Victoria takes to the Asian seas this winter. Short itineraries are available for trips from Singapore to Malaysia and Thailand from November to next January.
