Escolta Walking Tour: Exploring Manila's Historic Street Binondo Manila

Binondo, Manila’s historic commercial district, also known as Escolta, is often called the “Queen of Manila Streets” for its rich cultural heritage and architectural significance. Escolta was established during the Spanish colonial period and during the late 19th and early 20th centuries it became the heart of commerce and trade in the Philippines. Escolta is now on its way to becoming a creative and cultural hub today. But artists, entrepreneurs and heritage advocates are breathing new life into the area by turning its historic buildings into art galleries, co-working spaces, cafes and vintage shops. But modernization has not stopped Escolta from drawing in visitors with its old world charm, a mix of history and contemporary creativity. --- Timestamps: 0:00 Escolta walking tour 0:13 Yunchengco Street Binondo 1:12 Escolta Binondo Manila and quick facts 1:42 Another Escolta facts 6:07 Archdiocesan Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament & Plaza Santa Cruz --- Buy me a cup of coffee? I now have more stuff to create and a valid excuse to travel while still being healthy, thanks to walking. It also allowed me to see many of the Philippines' beautiful locations, cafes, restaurants, and tourist attractions. To support this channel, it would be good if you could buy me a cup of coffee after each walk or trip I do. I love to have coffee after a long walk. https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ambienth... --- Follow me on my other social media accounts: Youtube:    / ambienthuntingph   Facebook:   / ambienthuntingph   Instagram:   / ambienthuntingph   Tiktok:   / ambienthuntingph   --- *** Do like the video and subscribe to my channel if you enjoyed it so I can keep you updated with more content.
