My sunny skywatch this friday focuses on the other side of Manila.
People have this assumption that we're all about the Spanish and American
influences but,part of our history we share it with the Chinese culture as well.
A pagoda like structure, oriental in architecture, hidden along the
Streets of Narra.
It's a well-known Buddhist temple, mostly filled with people wearing "Red" theme outfits, esp. during the festive months like Chinese new year or celebrating the divine Buddha, their gods and goddesses.
I'll tell you more about its history next time.
meanwhile, i hope you enjoy this sight. ^0^
The Stupa structures even look more magnificent from this angle!
ReplyDeleteI like all the corners of the buildings, contrasting with the wispy clouds!
ReplyDeleteI love visiting Buddhist temples, this one has a magnificent design.
ReplyDeleteGreat architecture! In the so-called western world, we talk about Chinatowns. Is it the same in Manilla?
ReplyDeleteA beautiful picture of some wonderful architecture!
ReplyDeleteVery funny, your question:) The buri-buri is a wizard at the end of the journey when everything is dark gives you a fright ...

I sure do! It's great architecture!
ReplyDeleteActually, the Chinese were here even before the Spanish! They traded and let others live their own lives. Unlike the Spanish who wanted to control the trade so they had to conquer too.
Lovely photo! very interesting...
ReplyDeleteI love these oriental roofs
ReplyDeleteBeautiful architecture. Since we don't have many Asian influences in Europe this looks to me very exotic and make me want to visit even more.
ReplyDeleteHad no idea that you had chinese culture there! Lovely photo on a beautiful day!
