SM Mall of Asia is the largest shopping mall in the Philippines. It is owned and operated by SM Prime Holdings, under the management of Henry Sy, a Chinese-Filipino business tycoon. He is the richest man in the Philippines today.

The mall was constructed within the reclamation area in Roxas Boulevard in Pasay City. A 19.5-hectare reclaimed land, it has a gross floor area of 386,224 square meters.. A roundabout was constructed in the front of the mall with a huge bronze globe. Four buildings interconnected by walkways: the Main Mall, the Entertainment Mall, and the North and South Carpark Buildings.

You can see in the Main mall the shopping and dining establishments and the food court. while Entertainment Mall facing Manila Bay majority open-air is a two-story complex.which has main attractions.
