Knowing that there is a US military cemetery in the Philippines, I took a taxi to visit it. The guard needs passport information to register when entering the door. After registering and entering, I saw a white cross standing on the green grass, a little endless feeling, maybe because I know that it is a warrior's tombstone, that shock is indescribable! Go deeper and see the wall engraved with names, time, etc., as if a hero stood in front of me!

    It is worth seeing. This place is to register personal information. The cemetery is all American soldiers who died in the Philippines. The scale and style are very similar to the Wellington International Cemetery in the United States. They are all white crosses. The most worth seeing of this place is the cloisters on both sides of the flag in the center of the square, where there are some battle maps of important battles.

    The place where you live can overlook the American military cemetery, but unfortunately the door is open on the other side, and it takes a long time to go inside. The range is very large, it takes a long time to drive inside, and it takes a few hours to walk, and it is too suny during the day. It’s fine to go in in the evening.

    The cemetery is large in size, and the walls of the main building of the cemetery are set with a schematic of the war of the year. The memorial wall is engraved with the names of American soldiers killed in action. The interior of the monument is a small prayer place with an altar. The sun shines from the top of the monument. Above the altar is a painting, a woman on a blue background scatters flowers to the earth. Surrounding the monument and memorial corridor, rows of crosses are neatly erected on the green grass. Sacred and solemn.

    The US military World War II Memorial Cemetery was established to commemorate the sacrifices of US and Allied soldiers in the Pacific during World War II. The cemetery covers an area of61.5 hectares, the largest US military cemetery built overseas, and it is also the largest and most beautiful park in the Philippines. To visit here, you only need to register your passport. Enter the park, you will be shocked, the cemetery is solemn, solemn, spectacular, 17,206 white crosses (Jewish soldiers for six stars) stand quietly on the open lawn, with the gravestone dense and the lawn empty visual contrast, quiet and shocking. The cemetery is a 200-meter landscape axis from the entrance, with cemeteries on both sides, and the empty central axis lawn directs the sight to the center of the cemetery - no cult church. On each side of the church are arced curtains, and a memorial wall between them engraved the names of the 36,280 dead officers and soldiers who have been killed in action, as well as a World War II situation map.

    Manila U.S. military memorial cemetery, free of tickets, but you have to register at the entrance to enter. A total of 17,206 US and Allied officers martyred in World War II are buried here, which looks more like a park, with towering trees and carpet-like lawns than a golf course. Because of the high terrain, there is almost no noise in the cemetery. Each cross is engraved with the name of a fallen soldier. The Christians' tombstone is a cross, the Jews have a monument in the center of the Hexagonal Star Cemetery, and the horseshoe-shaped curtain porch on the periphery, which is set with a map. Military data is kept in the map room, along with twenty-five elaborate maps, which witness the great victories of the American armed forces in the Pacific, China, India and Myanmar

    It's quite big. Entering the door requires documents that it can understand. The passport was not brought at the hotel. Fortunately, the security said that you can find a mobile phone. I saw English on the Taiwan Entry Permit. I showed him the Taiwan Entry Permit and came in smoothly. There are not many people and it is very quiet. People who like history will love it here. And free. Just the traffic is not good. I came.
