The Philippines was the only Spanish colony in whole of Asia, and luckily so that is what makes it standout from the other neighboring nations. Instramurous is the centre point of Spanish culture in manila and best place to dive into opulent Spanish history. After having been demolished in WWII the fortified walls of the city have again been resurrected largely and are a great refuge from the hush and rush of the city. Meandering in the boulevards here you will get a sense of tranquility which is lined by colonial buildings.

Manila is overflowing with rich exhibition halls enriched with various themes. For an understanding of the pre-Hispanic time, visit the national Museum, set inside of a nineteenth century neo-classical building, it shows ancient rarities going back to hundreds of years. The Rizal Shrine Museum is another shocker which is a tribute to the life of the national saint – Dr. Jose Rizal, which showcases the important events of his lives and the gems show extraordinary veneration to his patriotism for the nation. Its to a greater degree a time travel to the revolutionary moment of the country.

Only north of Binodo is the Chineese memorial park, one of the Manilla's most supernatural sights. Feel the despairing of the lanes spotted with tombs the vast majority of which are air-conditioned. In the event that this doesn't appears to be surreal, than simply take few strides forward to the neighboring North cemetery where individuals have made houses and setup shops in the midst of the tombs.
