For those interested in shopping, Mall of Asia is one of the largest malls in the world and offers a wide range of retail options, dining experiences, and entertainment facilities. Close to the bay, it provides a scenic view, especially during sunset. Visit Binondo, the oldest Chinatown in the world, where you can enjoy authentic Chinese cuisine and explore its vibrant streets.
