GREENBELT, MAKATI CITY, PHILIPPINES

The Philippines is considered as one of the best tourist location in Asia because of its natural wonders that continue to generate major tourism flow for the country. It is very well-known for its world-class white sand beaches like Boracay, Puerto Gallera and Puerto Azul; man-made wonders like The Banaue Rice Terraces and the Sagada Hanging Coffins and “The World’s Most Perfect Cone”, The Mayon Volcano are just some of the few scenic spots the tourist immediately go to when visiting the Philippines.

Although the country boast its natural wonders as the major tourist destinations, the metropolitan also has many things to offer for people who would like to experience the city life in this beautiful archipelago. In this particular article, I would like to show Makati City’s Greenbelt Shopping District. A place where you can shop for the best brands, dine and unwind at well-known bars and restaurants and retreat to a beautiful and calm garden right at the heart of Makati City, the Philippines’ “Business Capital”.

Here are some of the photo I took of the Greenbelt Shopping District using my Nikon D3000.

The garden has a man-made stream that runs through the middle of the garden leading to a church. Public masses are here held regularly.

Different kinds of trees and plants surround the garden, a perfect compliment to the high-rise buildings that towers the city.

Below are photos that give Greenbelt its unique appeal. The distinct landscape that perfectly blends well with the mall's design.

As the sun slowly sets, the breath-taking beauty of the garden begins to take a new form. The lights gives the a new life to the garden.

Makati City is a tourist destination on its own. A fusion of infrastructure paired with luscious trees and plants give the place a modern, but relaxing ambiance that is rarely seen in other cities.
