[Manila Trip] Chinese style? Binondo Church

This time, we will introduce Binondo Church, a church located in Manila's Chinatown. Chinatown is located in the Binondo district of Manila, Philippines. This is said to be the oldest Chinatown in the world. The Binondo district, where Chinatown is located, is located on the north side of the Pasig River. And in Chinatown is Binondo Church. Binondo Church has been rebuilt several times, but the bell tower seems to have remained the original from the 16th century. The distinctive feature of this church is the beautiful painting on the ceiling. The decoration inside also somehow gives off a Chinese vibe. It matches Chinatown. This church has a slightly different atmosphere from regular churches, so why not go and check it out! #ManilaTourism #Manila #Church #Chinatown

Just wrapped up a 3D2N getaway at Manila Bay and honestly? It was part chill, part chaos, all charm. Whether you’re a history buff, a sunset chaser, or just hungry all the time (me), this one’s for you! 🌴✨ ⸻ 🛬 Day 1: History, Parks & Golden Hours 🕘 9:00 AM – Landed and headed straight to Rizal Park 🌳. It’s peaceful, patriotic, and smells like morning grass and food carts. 🕛 12:00 PM – Popped over to Intramuros 🏰 – Manila’s walled city! Explored cobblestone streets and felt like a character in a colonial novel. 🕒 3:00 PM – Stepped into San Agustin Church ⛪ – jaw-dropping interiors, soft light filtering in, and the air thick with history. 🕕 6:00 PM – Sunset along Manila Baywalk was a fiery masterpiece 🔥🌅. Locals were jamming, kids roller-skating, lovers vibing – pure Manila. 🕗 8:00 PM – Dinner near Malate Church (Our Lady of Remedies) 💒 – classic Filipino soul in architecture. Ended the night with halo-halo by the street. Cold. Sweet. Epic. ⸻ 🐠 Day 2: Culture, Ocean Creatures & Mega Malls 🕘 9:00 AM – Started with a splash at Manila Ocean Park 🐠 – stingrays, sharks, and even penguins. Kid me was living. 🕛 12:30 PM – Lunch nearby: veggie pancit + fresh buko juice 🥥. Light, refreshing, so Filipino. 🕒 3:00 PM – Explored the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) 🎭 – modern art meets heritage. Caught a local dance rehearsal by chance! 🕕 6:00 PM – Back to the bay for another golden hour, this time with grilled corn and fish balls in hand 🌽🐟. 🕗 8:00 PM – Night stroll past Malate. Smell of street BBQ everywhere. Tip: say yes to banana cue 🍌🔥. ⸻ 🛍️ Day 3: Shop & Soak It In 🕘 10:00 AM – Mall of Asia time! 🛍️ Huge, shiny, and air-conditioned (thank goodness). Coffee, souvenirs, and a giant Ferris wheel ride for the views 🎡. 🕛 12:00 PM – Last lunch: tofu sisig and garlic rice. Simple but chef’s kiss 👌 🕑 2:00 PM – Quick visit to San Agustin again – had to say goodbye properly. Then… Grab to the airport. ⸻ ✨ Tips & Tales 👟 Walk lots – wear comfy shoes. 💡 Be curious – Manila rewards wanderers. 🍴 Try local snacks. Even balut. Once. 😅 ⸻ Verdict? Manila Bay is a mix of soul, salt air, and stories. Already planning round two 🌊🇵🇭💙
