You will never find a silent place here-it seems that there is always noise and bustle. By the way, to get acquainted with the Chinese Diaspora (which, as you can understand from a visit to the Binondo quarter, is quite common in Manila), and to learn how the Chinese people were able to survive in the Philippines, you can visit Bahay Tsinoy, Museum of Chinese in Philippine Life. Despite the fact that the Museum is dedicated to Chinese culture, it is not located in Binondo, but in another popular area of Manila - already mentioned Intramuros.
Another educational institution, the building of which attracts all tourists with its elegant facade, is called De La Salle University. It was founded in 1911 in the colonial style, and today is known for its research activities in the field of Catholicism. Enterprise Center, which houses the offices of international companies, is a beautiful masterpiece of modern architecture-functional and at the same time incredibly gorgeous.
