Mounds, Magnates and Mausoleums!
A Chinese Cemetery Walk

Boo! So you've heard about its flamboyant tombs but never had the guts to visit it? Well, here's this trippy trip you've been dying for! Come and join us as we romp through the gravestones of the Chinese Cemetery!

We'll skirt through the historic alleyways of this 'city of the dead' digging out the lives (and skeletons!) of the Philippines' taipans of yore. Take a peek at a lumber mogul's three-storey mausoleum! Light incense at Manila's oldest Chinese temple! Discover the exploits of the renowned Noodle king! Visit a unique 'turtle tomb'!

Let's talk history, learn about Chinese customs and check out some of the most eclectic architecture in the city. We'll search for worldly ghosts and tread where no spirits have tread before! So what are you waiting for? Warm up those muscles as we take a tour of the Tsinoy underworld-in style!

Meet at the Chong Hock Tong Temple inside the Cemetery grounds

Tour Duration: 3 - 3.5 hours
