In Manila I walked around the walled city of Intramuros and visited Manila Cathedral, then took a night bus to Vigan in northern Luzon. I went around Vigan's old town, the Bantay Bell Tower and Paoay, returned from Laoag to Manila on the 25th and went straight on to Taiwan.

In Taipei I visited the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall and the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, and on the 27th I went out to Keelung.
