We visited this as part of a Kalesa (horse carriage) tour.I've visited this church several times in the past, but never really to admire it. It's usually weddings or tours where I was there for the company of friends/family and not the tourist attractions. It really is a beautiful church and I wish we were not constrained by time limitations. And I appreciate it much more now since San Agustin Church is usually not open to the public.

We had fun , we watch birds flying together and seals doing tricks. But we ate lunch at a place where the food is awful. But we had a great time and those who wants to see sea animals , I recommend this place.

This area is very walkable area to see the fortifications during the Spanish time. You will see several tourists alongside so its safe to walk. Once you finish this site, you can walk to Manila Cathedral, and to Chinatown.

Chinatown is not far from Manila Cathedral, about 15 minutes walk. The whole area is a bit old, the streets are narrow, and the environment is very ordinary. Except for the Chinese people, it is not a good place for shopping.

Rizal Park, or Luneta, is a chill spot in Manila where you can relax and soak in some history. It’s got green spaces, cool monuments like the Rizal Monument, and plenty of room for walks or picnics. Perfect for a break from the city hustle, whether you’re with family or just want to hang out.

The Manila Zoo, opened in 1959, covers an area of 5.5 hectares. Today it is the largest and oldest zoo in the Philippines. It is visited by millions of tourists every year, especially crowded here on weekends and holidays.The zoo is home to more than 600 animals, including 150 reptiles, 299 birds and 159 mammals. Here you can see Asian buffalo, rare Asian fawn (the smallest in the world), Palawan pheasant, iguanas, crocodiles, owls, tigers, turtles and other animals. But the most popular "resident" is Mali, an Asian elephant that, orphaned in infancy, was transported here from Sri Lanka. The zoo has a Wildlife Rescue Center, which serves as a temporary shelter for sick and injured wild animals, as well as for animals confiscated by customs from poachers.Today, the zoo hosts a variety of shows with the participation of animals, children's playgrounds are organized, picnic areas are arranged, gazebos and souvenir shops are built. Inside there is a Children's Zoo, where young visitors can personally communicate with domestic and trained animals, learn a lot about their lives and living conditions.

Because I live in a nearby hotel, I walk here for 3 minutes after registration and solve lunch by the way. Although a bit old, the mall should be a more large-scale shopping center in the city. It is very complete for eating and playing, and there are many choices for eating. It is a good place to go shopping.

The St. Augustine Cathedral in Manila, Philippines, consists of two parts: chapel and monastery. The Baroque chapel is the architectural essence of the entire St. Augustine, while the monastery is partly a museum, with a large collection of precious items such as French clothes, the Holy Grail of gold, silver crosses, ivory statues, silk mantles embroidered with gold threads and oil paintings. The focus of this article is on the organ inside the church, which is rare to see. As a world historical and cultural heritage, St. Augustine's Cathedral has also experienced the destruction of war, and many precious collections have been lost in successive wars. After World War II, St. Augustine was rebuilt. The church and the First Abbey restored the appearance of the year, and in 1965, to commemorate 400 years of Catholic transmission in the Philippines, St. Augustine exhibited photographs of hundreds of churches built across the country between the 16th and 19th centuries, which spawned the idea of creating a museum. Since then, St. Augustine has continuously collected various precious cultural relics lost in the wars and displayed in the monastery for public viewing. Today, St. Augustine is not only a church, a monastery, but also a museum that collects many Filipino and Spanish art treasures. It is an important place to display the historical and cultural treasures of the Philippines and is worth visiting. I feel that it is not enough to spend a whole day.

The Philippines was once a Spanish colony, leaving buildings with Spanish characteristics. The walls are light colors, wooden fence windows, and some have porches. There are guards in Spanish soldiers' clothes on the square, which can be photographed.
