Binondo, Commercial district and Chinatown in Manila, Philippines.
The neighborhood features narrow streets filled with markets, traditional shops, restaurants, and architectural structures combining Filipino and Chinese elements.
Spanish Governor Luis Pérez Dasmariñas established Binondo in 1594 as a permanent settlement for Catholic Chinese immigrants near Intramuros.
The district celebrates Chinese New Year with traditional lion dances, street performances, food festivals, and community gatherings throughout its streets.
Visitors can explore the area by walking along Ongpin Street, where numerous restaurants serve Chinese cuisine and merchants sell traditional medicines.
During the early 1900s, Escolta Street in Binondo functioned as the financial center of the Philippines, housing major banks and commercial institutions.
