The oldest Chinatown in the world-Minrenluo District, Manila, Philippines

Manila, the capital of the Philippines, in addition to the world's top three sunsets, the Spanish royal city, and the largest marine park in the Philippines, the most touching place is the world's oldest Chinese city-Minlunlo District.

Minlunlo (Binondo), also known as "Binandu", is located in an area in Manila, Philippines. It is mainly inhabited by Filipino Chinese, creating the earliest Chinatown in the world. It is now a center for all types of commerce and trade operated by Filipino Chinese businessmen.

However, on the other side of the seemingly prosperous Chinatown, there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor, which can be said to be a fusion of angels and demons.

Minlunlo Church (Binondo Church), also known as "Li Lelun Temple" and "Our Lady of the Rose Church", is a Catholic church located in Minlunlo District, Manila, Philippines. The front of it is Li Lelun Square.

In terms of architectural features, the original building was destroyed by the British army in 1762. In 1852, the new granite church was rebuilt on the original site, but it was severely damaged during World War II, leaving only the west building and the octagonal bell tower. Today, the building of the church was mainly built between 1946 and 1971. The main color in the ancient church with rich history is pink full of fantasy, which is a church with different appearances.

In Manila's Tang Dynasty district, "999 Shopping Mall" is a conspicuous shopping mall. With it as the center, the nearby 168 and other shopping malls are also rich and unique. Although there are many types and quantities of goods, the quality is uneven. However, if travelers like to dig treasures, the department store in Manila's Chinatown is a scenic spot worth arranging.

After staying away from the bustling Chinese city business district, I walked alone on a large road, and the more I walked, the more I felt that the scenery was different...

Businesses are slowly getting fewer and replaced by places that look like slums.

On the same street, from shops selling gold ornaments, ordinary families, to families who can only eat leftovers, they live in small dilapidated houses.

This is the oldest Chinatown in the world. It has historical cultural and commercial activities. It is one of the most valuable regions in the Philippines. It is also a place that accommodates many social and economic status and classes.
