Excellent
Chinatown is not far from Manila Cathedral, about 15 minutes walk. The whole area is a bit old, the streets are relatively narrow, the environment is very general, except for the Chinese gathering, it is not a good place to go shopping.

The oldest recognized Chinatown, Binondo's Chinese enclave was documented as early as 1594, though it was already a focal point of Chinese trading when Spanish explorers first arrived in 1521. Start at Binondo Church and follow the savory scents of oranges and sweetmeats, lychees and mooncakes. The area bordered by Ongpin, Quentin Paredes and Gandara Streets offers the heart of Chinatown, where you can browse to your heart's content and pick up noodles, yellow Chinese gold, and mysterious remedies for illnesses you may not have known you had.

it's crowded but very beautiful. Lots of food choices. I was very indecisive because of the large variety of foods and drinks. There is a Chinese mall called lucky Chinatown mall just around the area, make sure to check it out, it has an amazing street food.
Manila China City is the place where Filipino Chinese live the most, and you can hear southern Fujian dialect and Mandarin everywhere, and you can see Hanyu. The influx of new Chinese immigrants in recent years, and the Chinese city of Manila is full of Shimu, which marks the energy of the Chinese people in the Philippines, whether in mainstream society or in traditional Manila Chinatown, is even higher. The buildings next to the street are very Chinese, shops around Jinpu, herbal shops, tea houses, etc., selling moon cakes, incense, jewelry antiques and other special products. The most obvious sign of Chinatown is a beautiful Chinese-style archway, with the central cross-section of the Chinese, English and Philippine official languages Tagalog writing "China-Philippine Friendship Gate". Wang Bin Street is the most representative street in Chinatown, with a memorial statue of Chinese leader Wang Bin of the Philippines and a memorial to Chinese people participating in the local anti-Japanese war.
It's a good place, I want to go every time.
certainly a must-visit when you’re in Manila. This place offers a wide and delicious food options that is also affordable.
