Manila Ocean Park

tinkerbelle00

I really enjoy seeing aquariums like this. There are quite a lot of shows, including penguins, sea lions, reptiles, and jellyfish. There’s also a special aquarium for sharks. However, I recommend not going on weekends because you’ll have to compete with other visitors for photo spots.

Fort Santiago

Historical park with a lot of greenery. For history enthusiasts, highlights include the Rizal Museum and underground tunnels detailing Japanese atrocities during WWII. You also get a great view of the river.

Manila Bay

Oh my god. That sunset. The most amazing view of my life was in Manila Bay. It was a great evening to spend the night with my Philippine friends there.

San Agustin Church

中西南北东

The Cathedral of St. Augustine in Manila, Philippines, consists of two parts: the chapel and the monastery. The Baroque-style chapel is the architectural essence of the entire St. Augustine, while the monastery is a museum, which houses a large number of precious items such as vestments, golden chalices, silver crosses, ivory statues, silk cloaks embroidered with gold thread, and oil paintings. The focus of this article is the organ in the church, which is rare to see. As a world historical and cultural heritage, the Cathedral of St. Augustine has also experienced the destruction of war, and many precious collections have been lost in various wars. After the end of World War II, St. Augustine was rebuilt. The church and the first monastery have restored their appearance. In 1965, in order to commemorate the 400 years of the spread of Catholicism in the Philippines, St. Augustine exhibited photos of hundreds of churches built between the 16th and 19th centuries across the country, which gave rise to the idea of creating a museum. Since then, St. Augustine has continuously collected various precious cultural relics lost in various wars and displayed them in the monastery for the public to see. Today, St. Augustine is not only a church and a monastery, but also a museum that houses many Philippine and Spanish art treasures. It is an important place to display the historical and cultural treasures of the Philippines and is well worth visiting. I think a whole day is not enough.

How to get to Cebu from Manila?

Two cities on different islands, no train links pro! The most convenient course is to fly! You can look at the ticket price of Cebu Pacific Air, which is a low-cost airline. When you sell more than 100 RMB, you have a deal!

Any advice on where to stay in Manila?

We stayed at Bayview Park Hotel Manila, riding a white taxi (preferably with the word "grab") at around 75P, playing the table. Generally, there is no change, it is very convenient to give 80P directly. The hotel has a buffet and it looks like it is 9:30 at the latest. If you can do it …
