Begin on Calle Escolta, one of Manila's most historically important commercial streets. Move through the surviving Regina Building and First United Building area before crossing Jones Bridge. Finish deeper inside Binondo with coffee at Café Mezzanine. The route shifts visually from early twentieth-century commercial architecture to the crowded textures of Chinatown.
