About Plaza Lorenzo Ruiz

Plaza San Lorenzo Ruiz has an area of 1,200 square meters (13,000 sq ft); unlike other plazas in Manila, it is shaped like an ellipse, with a fountain on each end. It is paved with multicolored interlocking concrete bricks and granite tiles, similar to Plaza Miranda in Quiapo. It has park benches around the plaza's perimeter, and a few royal palm trees have been planted in the plaza's center, complementing several existing Narra trees. The plaza is lit at night with 32 floodlights, 42 promenade lampposts, and 24 uplights installed at strategic points around the area. 

Some historical markers have been installed at the plaza, two of which are centuries-old. The most notable landmark is the statue of Lorenzo Ruiz, which was repositioned in 2005 to face the Binondo Church. Behind the statue is a memorial to Chinese Filipino victims of WWII erected by the Confederation of Filipino Chinese Veterans in 1995.
 

Plaza San Lorenzo Ruiz or Plaza Lorenzo Ruiz (pinyin: Huāyuánkǒu Guǎngchǎng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Hoe-hn̂g-kháu Kóng-tiûⁿ; lit. 'at the foot/mouth of the garden') is a major public square in Binondo, Manila, bounded by Quintin Paredes Street (formerly Calle Rosario) to the east and Juan Luna Street (formerly Calle Anloague) to the west, parallel to the Estero de Binondo. It is the plaza that fronts the Minor Basilica of San Lorenzo Ruiz (Binondo Church), one of the main churches of the City of Manila, and is considered the center of Binondo as a whole.

The nature park with a chinese theme was tranquil and refreshing. You can sit here and admire the beauty of this place, also known as Chinatown Capital of the Philippines.

Tourist attraction in a park close to the church and Chinatown. But there are some street dwellers who occupy someplace to dry their clothes. There is now a police patrolling the park

Garden Foot Square traffic should be completely rebuilt as people who don't know the rules of traffic there are often fined.
