After many visits to the Philippines, Manila's scenic spots have been almost all visited, along Manila Bay to the coconut uterus, close to the cultural center, 100 pesos ticket, including guides, language only in English. At that time, no one came to visit, so the tour guide was a one-to-one service, while explaining and enthusiastically helping me take photos, very nice. The coconut uterus was built with coconut trunks, coconuts and leaves as raw materials in 1978, invested by 37 million pesos during Marcos'reign. However, because of its high cost and luxury, it has not actually been inhabited by politicians. Now it is only the "Coconut Museum" because of its beautiful environment, and it is also the most famous wedding resort in the Philippines. As the world's unique coconut landscape architecture, coconut uterus has two floors, a distinctive hexagonal roof, and a polygonal swimming pool in the middle. Its project is huge, using 2,000 coconut trees over 70 years old. The roof is made of coconut boards, the pillars are made of coconut trunks, the walls are "coconut bricks" made of coconut shell wool fibers and cement, and the doors are inlaid with geometric patterns of more than 4000 coconut shells. There are countless coconut products in the Palace - "The dining room has a 36-foot table with 47,000 coconut shells of different shapes inlaid on it, and many beautiful lamps and chandeliers are made of coconut shells. The most wonderful exhibit in the coconut uterus is a large landing bell up to 2 meters high, which is made of coconut trees and coconut shells. This unique "coconut bell" travels accurately. Every time it strikes the time, visitors can hear the crisp sound of tapping coconut shells. Latest Intelligence - "The building is now used as the Vice President's office space and only opens at a very small fixed time. We need to make an appointment to visit.

    It's the official residence of the vice president of the Philippines. Building structure and surrounding is very good and refreshing. Need to have an appointment to go inside.

    That thing you don't like about yourself is what makes you really interesting.

    Seeing that Ctrip commented that 50 people could enter a day, I took a taxi early. When I arrived at the door, I said that it was not open to the outside world. We could only take pictures from a distance across the road.

    Coconut Palace is made of several types of Philippine hardwood, coconut shells, and a specially engineered coconut lumber apparently known as Imelda Madera.

    "🌴 Just returned from an amazing trip to the Coconut Place! 🌴The past week has been an absolute paradise as I explored the breathtaking Coconut Place. From pristine beaches to lush coconut groves, this destination had it all. 🏝️My days were filled with sun-kissed adventures - snorkeling in crystal-clear waters, lounging on the powdery white sand beaches, and sipping on fresh coconut water straight from the source. 🥥☀️Evenings were a treat with local cuisine that featured coconut in every dish, from creamy coconut curries to coconut-infused desserts that were out of this world! 🍛🍨But what truly made this trip unforgettable were the warm-hearted locals who welcomed us with open arms. Their rich culture and traditions added a unique flavor to our journey.I couldn't resist bringing back some coconut souvenirs to remind me of this tropical paradise. 🌴✨If you're looking for your next getaway, I highly recommend Coconut Place. It's a slice of heaven on Earth, and I can't wait to return! 🌺🐚 #CoconutParadise #Wanderlust #TravelGoals"
