🇵🇭✨ FROM RIZAL PARK TO INTRAMUROS… AND A PERFECT END IN BINONDO
We started our day at Rizal Park, soaking in the calm before stepping straight into history. From there, we made our way on foot to Intramuros — the famous “Walled City” — and it honestly felt like we had entered a different era. Cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, and centuries of stories unfolded as we explored iconic sites like San Agustin Church and Casa Manila, before enjoying the most delicious Filipino adobo (we’re officially hooked 😍). We continued through the charming streets to the breathtaking Minor Basilica and Metropolitan Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (Manila Cathedral) — a true showstopper.
But the day didn’t end there… 👀 We wrapped it up in Binondo, known as the oldest Chinatown in the world, where culture, history, and FOOD collide in the best way possible. We marvelled at the beautiful Minor Basilica and National Shrine of Saint Lorenzo Ruiz (Binondo Church) and indulged in flavours that completely blew us away. Safe to say… this food experience has officially amplified our desire to explore Asia even deeper. Our next country perhaps… wink wink 😉✨
