Best Places to Visit in the Philippines

MANILA

Manila, the "Pearl of the Orient", is the capital city and largest port of the Philippines. On the basis of Indian, Chinese, and Central Asian civilizations, it also integrates the Western civilizations of Spain and the United States to form a culture that combines the East and the West. Such cultural diversity makes Manila filled with things to see and do. Marvel at UNESCO San Agustin Church, learn colonial lifestyle in Casa Manila and Fort Santiago, ride a horse-drawn carriage and explore the world's oldest Chinatown built in 1594, a prime destination for Chinese goods and Chinese food.
