Top 4 Districts of Manila and Their Most Famous Attractions

Sept. 22, 2019 - PRLog -- The Philippine capital —  home of Manila Lotus Hotel —  has numerous attractions scattered all over its 16 districts. However, you don't have to travel to every part of the city in order to have a taste of its culture. To do this, you only have to visit its 5 most popular regions that house some of its most interesting sites.

1. Binondo

This district that has been populated by Chinese-Filipinos since the late 1500's is where you can find the world's oldest Chinatown. It's filled with stores of herbal medicine, furniture, jewelry, and more. Other than that, it's also the best place in the country to enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine. Some of the most popular treats are Wai Ying's roasted duck congee, Dong Bei's dumplings, President Tea House's crispy fried pigeon, and Masuki's beef wanton noodles.

2. Ermita

If you're in this part of the city, you'll always find something to do. This is because Ermita is one of the most vibrant parts of Manila. You'll find attractions that every tourist will be fond of. You can take a stroll in Luneta, a park dedicated to the country's national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. Or, you can walk through Manila Ocean Park's 82-ft acrylic tunnel and be surrounded by sting rays, sharks, and other marine animals.

3. Intramuros

Also known as the Walled City, Intramuros was the seat of government during the Spanish colonial period. Its 3-mile stone wall circuit covers numerous establishments that are open for visitors. There are museums, such as Bahay Tsinoy, which is dedicated to the Chinese-Filipino community's history and contributions to the country.

4. Malate

Situated right next to Ermita is Malate, an equally vibrant district. It is one of the most usual destinations for Manila's visitors, and most people say it comes alive after sunset. You may witness this yourself by taking a walk down the famous Adriatico and Nakpil streets and visiting numerous bars and restaurants to taste the city's colorful night life.
