Additional Information
Introduction
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. Then stop by the Bahay Tsinoy Museum for a look at the place's rich history.

Manila's Chinatown is much less crowded and less touristy than the rest of the world, but there are many Chinese shops, which show the richness of Chinese culture.
Chinatown is also a large Chinese living area in Manila, where you can see some quite special things, many of the styles of the city content is also a variety of values.
very busy and lots of shops, the food there is great and has a lot of things going on during the new year times. can get lots of cheap food and things there
The Place is Very good. also the prizes when you shop is good.. more parking atleast but the people in manila is very humble and can accomodate you anytime especially the men in blue shirts. thank you mayor isko.
I took a calesa to Chinatown from Intramuros. You see the shanty areas... the poor... yet, despite their poverty, the people seemed joyful. Being a Filipino, it made me sad and proud and joyful at the same time. I asked the calesa driver to drop me off at Binondo Church, the Minor Basilica of San Lorenzo Ruiz... another ecclesial treasure of Manila... so those are the pictures I’ve included here.
Binondo is referred to Chinatown and known as one of the oldest chinatown in the world. Upu may visit churches, shop at Carvajal Street, visit Seng Guan Temple, bargain hunting along Ongpin st. and enjoy celebrating Chinese New Year.
