Описание книги

This beautifully photographed travel pictorial captures the people, art, architecture, food and landscapes of the Philippines. The Philippine Archipelago with its 7,100 islands is culturally diverse and unique in Southeast Asia, and renowned for the splendor of its coastal beaches and terraced mountains. Seventy million Filipinos have been nurtured by both tropical environment and unique historical development—through 300 years of Spanish Chistianization and 40 years of American modernization—and have emerged as an attractive blend of East and West, soul and style. The island country is perhaps best known for the friendliness of its people and their natural sense of song, dance and hospitality. The archipelago is also called «Pearl of the Orient». With over 150 photographs and a detailed map, Exciting Philippines is an essential book for expats or tourists traveling to the Philippines.

Отрывок из книги

A stroll on a Palawan beach.

tHE PHILIPPINES is a Southeast Asian archipelago of over 7,000 islands strewn between the Pacific Ocean and the China Sea. Here Orient meets Occident with a distinctive flair. Three centuries of Spanish Christianization and 40 years of American colonization have left their mark, contributing to the East-West character of a volatile, Latinized people of Asian bloodlines. Catholicism is the major religion, English is the tongue of the educated, and the soulful creativity of the Filipinos prevails in visual arts and handicraft. Music, basketball, boxing and politics are the national pasttimes, from bustling Metro Manila to historical Cebu to booming Davao in Mindanao. Ecotourism adventures await in the 81 provinces— from Boracay to Bohol, Panay to Palawan, to the Banaue Rice Terraces of Northern Luzon. All in this high-spirited place, the Philippines.
