Cebu City in the Philippines is home to the oldest street, and it's a historical landmark as well, the famous Colon Street, Cebu City, Philippines. The night market, located in Colon Street, Cebu City, has opened for the season on October 27th and will continue until Christmas. In my blog today, I will be taking you on a tour of the Colon night market, which is a must-visit destination in the Philippines. You'll find a diverse range of products and options to choose from at the night market, as vendors are selling almost everything you can think of.

From my apartment, I took an a 17B jeepney that costs 15 pesos as my fare. It takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes to get there. It's already past half afternoon, and it was getting a bit of traffic, but that's fine because I'm currently riding a modern jeepney, which is fully air-conditioned, and it's very comfortable to travel.
While waiting for the traffic light to turn green at one of Cebu City's busiest intersections, I took photos of the lively street. This spot attracts people of various races, cultures, and traditions. To avoid any trouble, I always refrain from jaywalking since police officers are scattered all over the area. This is where the jeepney stopped, and I had to cross the street to reach the Colon Night Market. I patiently waited for the green light and for all the vehicles to pass before crossing. It's essential to exercise caution in places like this, where there is no pedestrian lane. Following traffic light rules is crucial to ensure a safe passage across the street.
I then crossed the street, and I was welcomed by this group of women wearing green. They are the night market committee, making sure to keep the peace and order in the place. The night market flocks so many people, and it is important to keep the safety and security of everyone who visits here. They are also registering the vendors and stalls selling in the night market. Kudos all the hard-working committee of the night market!
