부동산 — House of Indo Chine
House of Indo Chines is a modest 3-star hotel in central Cotabato, offering functional air-conditioned rooms and a small outdoor pool. The lobby feels like a quiet provincial hotel lobby—tiled floors, a reception desk, and a few chairs. It suits short-stay travellers who need a clean, no-fuss base for business or occasional trips. There's no pretence of luxury; you stay here because it's practical and central.
Cotabato 연대기
Cotabato City was founded in the 16th century by Spanish colonisers along the banks of the Rio Grande de Mindanao. Its architecture mixes colonial-era churches, such as the St. Andrew Cathedral, with modern concrete buildings and occasional traditional Muslim houses. The city grew as a trade hub for Mindanao's agricultural produce, particularly rice and corn. Today, it remains a culturally diverse place where Christian, Muslim and Lumad communities overlap. Its identity is shaped by the nearby Liguasan Marsh and the occasional politics of the Bangsamoro region.
