Known to be the world’s oldest Chinatown, Binondo is a district in Manila that was established in 1594. The spinal street of the district known as the Ongpin Street bustles with market place fervour and is flanked with cosy shops of goldsmiths, tea houses, herbalists, bakeries, incense sticks and the like. Originally established by the Spaniards as a settlement for the Catholic Chinese near Intramuros, the place was a hub for the Chinese trade and commerce run by the Filipino-Chinese in the olden days.
Although the colonial Spanish architecture of the town is rapidly being torn down now, to make place for newer and better buildings, yet the culture and essence of the ancient town remains which even extends to adjoining areas like Quiapo, Santa Cruz, San Nicolas and Tondo. Among the most notable buildings and places of attraction, the top ones include Chinese Cemetery, Bahay Nakpil, Calvo Museum, Golden Mosque, Plaza Miranda, Quiapo Church and Filipino- Chinese Friendship Arch etc. The district now houses many more newcomers and immigrants which include Americans, Japanese and Spaniards.
