We came to the Las Pinas Catholic Church on the outskirts of Manila. Built in 1762, the church retains one of the world's only large pipe organs made of bamboo tubes. It is more than 3 meters wide and consists of 714 bamboo tubes with different calibers. The largest bamboo tube is 2.44 meters long and 12.7 cm in diameter. The bamboo organ was embedded in the tall walls of the church and it took eight years to complete the production in 1821. It is not only a portrayal of Spanish colonial history, but also one of the existing symbols of Filipino music art. More than 100 years have passed, and it has been tested by many earthquakes, typhoons and wars. It was transported to Germany in 1973, but it is still intact and is one of the attractions that attract tourists in the Philippines. The sun shines on the vibrant plants, and the shadows are sprinkled on the mottled church walls. This is the atmosphere of history and the accumulation of taste. Walking into the church, there is a lot of money inside, and the popularity of the church is high. The decoration in the church is not gorgeous, but full of the power of faith.
