[2024 Manila Attraction] Travel Guide for Rizal Park (Updated Sep)

A taste of urban philipinnes

#weekendgetaways So Manila cannot offer you what rest of philipines and those island beach destinations offer you. On the the contrary it is crowded, traffic, can be a test of many things. But say you're looking at getting away for the weekend and are out of options. I say so cos from Singapore often we get good flight deals to the Philippines. Only once have I dared Manila but i thought for a getaway that short. It worked out just fine. You get your nightlife, food, friendly locals etc. In terms of sightseeing and killing time during the days. You ould try the luneta park, china town, BgC and say a bunch of other malls to kill time and get some chow. #weekendonly #manila #beachlife #cityholiday

Manila's Chinese Garden

The landmark Rizal Park in Manila is grand in scale, with beautiful scenery, shaded by green trees, and fragrant. At dusk, the golden shimmering sea reflects the swaying coconut shadows on the shore, like a picture full of poetic and picturesque charm. There are three major gardens in Rizal Park, namely the Chinese Garden, the Spanish Garden, and the Japanese Garden. The Chinese Garden, true to its name, displays an authentic Chinese flavor. The park's uniquely shaped rockeries, beautiful fountains and waterfalls, and Chinese-style galleries, along with the almost daily open-air concerts, make Rizal Park even more charming.

A Heroes Park Worth Visiting🇵🇭

#timetotravel This is the Rizal par with Dr. Jose Rizal's Monument in the middle of the park. Indeed, a very historical and informative park that one must visit especially my fellow Filipino tourists. It is a great reminder that an independence hero who fought hard took his last breath here. It gives me so much pride visiting this place, a place where I can also walk and stroll in the beautiful landscape greenery of this place. A huge park where you can spend an entire afternoon until evening. Make sure to come here around 4 until night time because there is a fountain light show as well. There are so many things to do around the area too. So enjoy your day ! Address: Roxas Boulevard, Manila. Nearest LRT Stop: UN Avenue and it is 5 -10 minute walk away. #mytripvlog #tripblazers #philippines #history #park

Rizal Park

This was my very first time to visit the Rizal Park where our dearest and noble hero Dr. Jose Rizal was executed. I was really happy and overwhelmed knowing that I was given an opportunity to personally see the monument that I have only seen in books and television.

RIZAL PARK, MANILA

The park is really nice and it can be an escape from the hustle and buzz of the city, while remembering the national hero.A large park with plenty of spaces for walking and enjoying the morning or evenings. There are gardens to explore, water fountains to watch and places for picnics. Parking is a challenge.

RIZAL PARK HOTEL MANILA, PHILIPPINES

Great Hotel! It feels like home staying in this hotel. You get value for your money through excellent amenities and the staff are very accommodating. The location is in the heart of Manila where historical sites, stores and other establishments are just walking distance

JAPANESE GARDEN @ LUNETA PARK, PHILIPPINES

Greenery within the city of Manila is of great need. Big or small as long as people enjoyed and took shelter for a while is really a help. Japanese garden in Maria Orosa does have the Japanese touch. Although some looked for anything beautiful and this is already nice and beautiful some still find flaws. Thanks for the effort of making this garden for everyone. It can be crowded because the populace needed some cooler ambiance. So let us make the most of it. I like it here for a while taking the cooler garden effect.

CHINESE GARDEN IN LUNETA PARK, PHILIPPINES

This garden is annexed with the Rizal park and is a nice place to spend some time. The artificial garden includes water bodies, chinese proverbs, tress and a statue of confusious. It seems it has lost its charm of late. But i relaxed next to the waters with the sound of birds here. I like the Chinese Arch, small fountain and pagoda, Took several pictures here! Cool peaceful garden. No fees are collected, unlike before. I appreciate the covered walkway, albeit shorter than the one in the New Summer Palace in Peking, where Chinese idioms are seen (in Chinese characters, pinyin, and English) This area is separated by a zigzag concrete bridge.

I love to visit the Luneta Park during Chinese New Year. The park is in bloom during this time especially in Chinese Garden area.You'll see Chinese lanterns hanging giving a beautiful ambiance. Rizal Park, also known as Luneta Park or simply Luneta, is a historic urban park located in Ermita, Manila, Philippines. It is considered as one of the largest urban parks in Asia, covering an area of 58 hectares (140 acres).Among its famous features is the Musical Dancing Fountain, deemed as the biggest and most vibrant dancing fountain in the country. The central lagoon present a show with waters soaring up to 88 feet., fireballs, exploding water rockets and peacock spray water screen. The Independence Flagpole and the Lapu Lapu circle are among its famous landmarks too. #urbanexplorer #nationalpark

I really love this place, very lovely. Lots of people gathered here at sunset to relax. The piped in peaceful music making for a wonderful atmosphere. The scenery is wonderful, including the surrounding area, and it is well-maintained, making it a popular place for citizens to relax. Every night, a fountain show using LEDs is held, and many people from children to the elderly crowd. It is a popular spot for tourists. #givethanks#newphotographer#2019firsttravelpic#unforgettableexperiences#scenicspotguide#instagramworthydestinations#holidayvacation

#triplocal We we're at Manila Rizal Park. The place there was so nice and it was very nice in our eyes. It has a big area for you to roam around. You can also buy some foods there if you are hungry. #triplocal

Who would want to miss having a picture with the Philippines' national hero, Jose Rizal, in the background? When I was young, I was told that this place is the meeting place of most lovers including my parents when they were still living in Manila. There are benches around the area so you can just stay there all you want. Just few hundreds of meters away is another attraction called National Museum. Trivia. The Rizal Park is to where you can find the kilometer 0 of the Philippines, and it's the flagpole on the last photo. #wintergetaway

Rizal Park has lots of interesting stuff to see, without any one attraction being mind-boggling or spectacular. There are museums, gardens, orchidarium and countless statues and monuments. For me, the big selling point was trees, grass and a bit of nature. It’s a good place to wind down in and step back from the urban chaos, while also being a nice add-on to a trip to nearby Intramuros or Manila Ocean Park, Fort Santiago and Manila Cathedral. As an attraction in its own right, well, Rizal Park is in a pretty handy location if you happen to be staying in Ermita or Malate. #givethanks #givethanks

Rizal Park is located in the center of Manilla next to Roxas Boulevard, facing Manilla bay. There is a large fountain in the middle of the park, and is a treasured place for rest for the people of Manilla. The scale of the park is large, the scenery elegant, and is covered with shade-giving trees, with an aroma perceptible to all. At dusk the sparkling surface of the sea reflects the shadows of the swaying shoreline coconut palms, just like a painting brimming with picturesque charm. In the center of Rizal Park there are 3 large flower gardens, which are specifically dedicated to Chinese, Italian, and Japanese flowers and plants. There is a unique rock garden inside the park, along with beautiful a fountain and waterfall. Hardly a day goes by without an open-air concert which adds to the appeal of Rizal Park.

Rizal Park tour granted!

My youngest daughter was so curious about Rizal Park/Luneta... what it looked like and whats in there, From time to time she would tell me to bring her there. Last Aug we granted her request. We booked a room at #bayviewhotel. what i like in this hotel is that the kids stay for free and their complimentary buffet breakfast. They also have a swimming pool which my kid loved. It also has a good strategic location, just across the US embassy and walking distance to #rizalpark . After we checked-in at 4pm (we're stucked in traffic going to the hotel), dropped our luggage in our hotel room, we went straight to rizal park. My daughter was really excited to stroll around the park. we first go to Quirino Grandstand. we watched and take a picture of the sunset. Then we crossed the road to have our photo taken by a "maniniyot" (photographer) in front of the Rizal monument . They charged for only P50 pesos (2shots 2copies each you'll just have to wait for 15-20mins) My daughter ate "dirty ice cream" while strolling. we went from park to park... we also watched the fountain show at night She also saw a "Kalesa" and have her pic taken we ended the tour at 9pm. We had our dinner at chowking, few steps away from our hotel. She (my daughter) was tired but happy. She whispered "mom thank you for this experience. My best day ever!" before laying down to sleep. 😊

Salamat ate kuya @ Philipinpine ;p

After working with my Pilipino colleagues for two years, I finally got a chance to see their beautiful homeland! We went to a lake, Rizal Park and the windmill. Life is chill and food is good in Northern Philippines! I’m a big food lover and little bit of vegetarian, there plenty choices and is suitable for everyone. Next trip I want to visit Iloilo and cebu in Philippines! The summer is calling!!#philippines #Manila #Atekuya #2024wish #love #healthy #xxx
