The classic citywalk route in Manila, Philippines, just follow it with your eyes closed
The Philippines was once a Spanish colony, so the churches in the old city of Manila are really beautiful. If you happen to be in Manila for a one-day stopover, I highly recommend Citywalk to the Spanish Royal City. The security around here is also relatively good, so you don't have to worry too much. But don't take tutu cars or local horse-drawn carriages, just grab a taxi directly. If you are worried about bank card theft, you can also pay in cash. Be sure to take a taxi in advance, as it is more difficult to get one during peak hours. The attractions are as follows:Fort Santiago: The ticket is 75 pesos per person. It is the place where Jose Rizal, the father of the Philippines, was imprisoned. There are water dungeons, sea walls and forts, as well as a Lego exhibition, which displays some classic buildings in Manila, Philippines. You can play for 1-2 hours.
Rizal Park: Located in the center of Manila, it was renamed Rizal Park in memory of Jose Rizal, the national hero of the Philippines. Jose Rizal is also the father of the Philippines. You can take a photo when you pass by and leave.
Manila Cathedral: A Roman Catholic church, it is one of the oldest stone buildings in the Philippines. It contains a large number of bronze products, mosaics and sculptures by European artists. When you enter it, you will feel a quiet power that calms you down. You can enter directly. The beauty that cannot be captured by mobile phones is highly recommended to be recorded with a camera. You can take a quiet look and finish the tour in one to two hours.
St. Augustine Church: Built in 1599, it is open from 8 am to 12 pm. Note that there is a lunch break at noon. It is open from 1 pm to 6 pm. The ticket is 150 pesos. You cannot buy it online, so you must change the money. St. Augustine Church is the oldest Spanish Catholic church in the Philippines and one of the oldest stone buildings in the Philippines. It is finished in one to two hours.
After these visits, you can go to the National Museum of the Philippines Art Museum and the National Museum of the Philippines Natural Museum. They are all free. It is really not enough for 4 hours. The overall setting is very suitable for taking pictures. I can only keep sighing that it is really beautiful.
The Natural History Museum is a large tree of life. The various animals and plants inside are really beautiful and interesting. The trees at the entrance are very photogenic.
Then the Philippine National Museum charges a fee of less than 150 pesos. The exhibition hall is not big and contains a lot of content about the lifestyles and artistic creations of the native peoples of the Philippines.
Walking on the streets of Manila, there is often a sense of separation. Many ancient buildings are preserved here. The ancient churches stand sacredly, with mosses on the walls, with the sedimentation of vicissitudes of life, but there are some modern high-rise buildings. The golf area of the rich is green and grassy, and there are even special people to clear the way when crossing the road. But when you take a taxi, you pass through the slums, the stacked dilapidated houses, the crowded stalls, the randomly piled garbage, and the sewage on the ground. Children in tattered clothes pat the car window and ask you for money. It can be regarded as seeing the disparity of the world.
