While the word Chinatown evokes thoughts of authentic Chinese food, quaint shops and jewelry stores, there are structures that are as much a part of the landscape as the people and the commercial establishments. That’s the Plaza Calderon de la Barca and, beyond it, the Binondo Church.

I have seen the Chinatown sign before when I was searching through a travel guide on the net about Pinas. And I have series of imagination of what Chinatown would look like but your photos gave me a view of what it looked like. Awesome!

I visited President restaurant last year and the food was great so I recommended it to my wife when she visited the Philippines last month but she said the place has closed.
