Fort Santiago: Echoes of history and inspiration of resilience!

Wandering around Fort Santiago in Manila is like stepping into the depths of history. The heavy stone walls and mottled turrets quietly tell the memories of the years and wars during the Spanish colonial period. Walking on the city walls, overlooking the moat and the scenery of the old city, a solemn respect surges in my heart. The most moving thing is to walk into the cell where the Philippine national hero Rizal was imprisoned. The poems and footprints on the wall seem to still whisper his determination and sacrifice. The heaviness of history is condensed here, and every step is a remembrance and reflection of the past. This ancient fort not only witnessed a turbulent era, but also made people deeply feel the preciousness of freedom and the indomitable spirit of the people. #5月好去处2025
