🇵🇭Bigan｜The entire town of Vigan is listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site

The Philippines is filled with various Spanish-style buildings Because Spain had colonized the Philippines for 400 years Influences Filipinos in all aspects of culture, religion, food, architecture, and language And because of the long reign, it left behind a large amount of Spanish-style architecture Such as Manila's Kingstown district is a good example of the entire neighborhood But in the northern Philippines there is a town larger and better preserved Completely preserves the architecture of the colonization 400 years ago A blend of Spanish-Filipino and a touch of Chinese-style architecture It forms a unique special view and is even listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site Coming here is like traveling through time and space, if not seeing the car I almost thought I was back in time. Because it is listed as a World Cultural Heritage so the entire town is doing its best to keep it The streets are still paved with cobblestones, and horse-drawn carriages pass by from time to time The surrounding shops are also not specially decorated, retaining more of their original appearance Even chain restaurants such as McDonald’s need to make cosmetic adjustments to match the town The town is filled with historic shops, as well as old houses converted into hotels The Luna Hotel I stayed at this time can be regarded as an indicative hotel But the quality of the hotel I can only say is average, a bit humid There was really nothing to see in the room, the lighting was a bit dim But the whole wall of the atrium is welded with metal plates into various features of the ancient town There are also antique collectibles in the common areas, which can be considered the highlight of the hotel If you have the chance to visit, be sure to go out and walk around in the evening In the evening the restaurant will table and chairs set out on the street, with lights and music and horse-drawn carriages passing by There is also a water dance performance ahead, which is definitely a very special experience! Visiting the town can try empanada taste is different from other places There is also a bell tower built in 1591 about 10 minutes walk from the town It is also listed as a World Cultural Heritage Site.
