tinkerbelle00I really enjoy seeing aquariums like this. There are quite a lot of shows, including penguins, sea lions, reptiles, and jellyfish. There’s also a special aquarium for sharks. However, I recommend not going on weekends because you’ll have to compete with other visitors for photo spots.

Switsen[View] Not far from the China-Philippine Friendship Gate is Manila Cathedral, and there are many historical attractions nearby. [Fun] There are fewer places to entertain, and try not to go out at night. [Cost-effective] Food accommodation is cost-effective, and there are Chinese restaurant shops everywhere.

Amanda ViernesThe National Museum of Fine Arts is a must-visit! I love how it preserves so much history while still feeling fresh and inspiring every time. Walking through the grand halls surrounded by masterpieces like Spoliarium always gives me chills. It’s a beautiful, nostalgic spot that reminds me of school trips, but now I appreciate it even more. A timeless gem in the heart of Manila!

khccSince I was staying in a nearby hotel, I walked here for 3 minutes after registering and had lunch on the way. Although it is a bit old, the mall is probably one of the larger shopping malls in the city. It has a complete range of food and entertainment options, and there are many choices to eat. It is a good place for shopping.
