Fish be with you 🐟🐠🦈

Had an unplanned visit at The Manila Ocean Park. It was my first time visiting the place with my friends and the experience was great and memorable. Saw different kinds of fish and other marine animals. It was very fun especially the bird show and the sea lion show. There were many visitors as they were spending the holiday season with their loved ones. Will definitely be back soon. ☺️

Within the Walls of Intramuros

Intramuros showcases well-preserved Spanish colonial architecture, characterized by stone walls, cobblestone streets, and elegant colonial-era buildings. The architectural style reflects a blend of Spanish, Mexican, and Chinese influences. One of the most prominent landmarks in Intramuros is Fort Santiago, a citadel and defense fortress that dates back to the late 16th century. It served as a military stronghold, a prison, and a symbol of Spanish authority. Today, it houses a museum that exhibits artifacts and memorabilia related to Philippine history. Intramuros is home to various museums and cultural centers that offer insights into Philippine history and culture. Some notable establishments include the Bahay Tsinoy, Casa Manila, and the Museo de Intramuros. These venues provide educational and interactive experiences for visitors. Exploring Intramuros on foot or by horse-drawn carriage, known as kalesa, is a popular way to experience the charm of the walled city.

Philippines Travel | Check-in at the Spanish Old City of Manila

Intramuros, the city within the city. A historic city in the capital of the Philippines, Manila. Also the historic Spanish city walls of Manila. It should be the first place that any tourist visiting Manila should go to. The area is not large, it can be seen in 2-3 hours. There are many locals who can provide you with car tours. There are many historical relics available for visiting. Also the most photogenic area in Manila, Historic buildings are everywhere. There are beautiful wall art sculptures. I like this place, it feels very comfortable. And it has a strong sense of history 💕
