It is close to my place. It is built by the Chinese community. What I like about it is the architecture and the view of the city since it is uphill.

Consejos para la ciudad
Cómo moverse
Get an awesome jeepney ride
Jeepney is only in the Philippines and you must try it. For the fare, you can find the list inside the jeepney but you can also ask the driver or the people sitting nearby. You can pass your fare to the person next to you towards the driver. Just say “ akong plete palihug” which simply means “my fare, please pass to the driver”. Prepare your coins and if possible to pay the exact fare.
