BlauEarth takes you to the oldest Chinatown in the world -- The Manila Chinatown. The jumping-off point: the Chinese Goodwill Arch. We'll walk down Ongpin Street, and then enter Masangkay Street and back to Ongpin until we reach Binondo's most popular landmark -- the Minor Basilica of St. Lorenzo Ruiz -- named after the first Filipino Saint venerated by the Roman Catholic Church. The tour continues into the Golden Cross and concludes in nearby shops that have been part of the Filipino-Chinese culture that dates back to 1594. A vibrant community in the heart of Manila -- not to be missed when you are in the Philippines. Cheap thrills, authentic Chinese cuisine, budget meals, street food, bargain shopping, vintage sights and so much more.
