Walking Tour - Binondo & Divisoria

Binondo and Divisoria are two adjacent districts in Manila, Philippines that are known for their bustling streets and vibrant commercial activities.

Binondo is considered the world's oldest Chinatown, established in 1594 during the Spanish colonial era. It is located in the heart of Manila and is a hub for traditional Chinese goods, including food, medicine, and other products. The district is also famous for its vibrant Chinese New Year celebrations and historic landmarks, such as the Binondo Church and the Escolta Street.

Divisoria, on the other hand, is known as the bargain shopping capital of the Philippines. It is a commercial hub that offers a wide variety of goods at wholesale prices, ranging from clothing, electronics, accessories, and even food items. Divisoria is particularly popular among budget-conscious shoppers, retailers, and entrepreneurs who are looking for affordable goods to sell.

Both Binondo and Divisoria are densely populated areas with a vibrant street life, bustling markets, and a mix of cultural influences. They are also considered to be important economic hubs in Manila, attracting millions of visitors each year. However, due to their popularity and the high volume of people, both districts can be crowded and chaotic, especially during peak hours and holidays.
