This cemetery is different from other cemeteries I have been to. The rows of houses are combined like a community. The history of this cemetery is also very interesting. Some people live here and they are the gatekeepers of these family graves. The best moment is the Halloween, where food carts are everywhere and the streets are crowded with people who remember the dead from all over the place. Manila is crowded, but there are places that are often overlooked by tourists, and my first choice for visiting the city is Ayala, the Spanish King City and the Chinese Cemetery. They reflect the uniqueness of Manila. The US military memorial cemetery is nice and moving, but in a way similar to Arlington National Cemetery. But the Chinese cemetery is very different, the various mausoleums (a few in traditional Chinese style) look like real houses, with restaurants, bathrooms, etc. so that families can gather around their ancestors more easily. Some people come to visit often, and even a dog is guarding it!

It is the cemetery of the Chinese living in Manila, facing the direction of the motherland, full of homesickness, hoping that the leaves will come back to their roots. From a distance, it looks more like a high-class residential area, with villa buildings and some rather luxurious pavilions and pavilions. This Chinese apartment is located close to Manila Chinatown. Chinese signs are everywhere on the street. Chaozhou dialect is the most spoken language in my ears.
There is a saying in the Philippines - "Having never been to the Overseas Chinese Mountains is equal to having never been to Manila". It is the second oldest cemetery in Manila, Philippines. It is basically a cemetery-themed tourist attraction. This is more difficult to imagine in China, a cemetery has become a scenic spot. But usually there aren't many tourists. There are all kinds of equipments in the Overseas Chinese Yishan, such as living room, bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, air conditioning, TV, telephone and so on. It is said that some descendants simply live here for a long time. Usually, there are special servants and guards who are responsible for cleaning and guarding the cemetery.
Usually filled up during All Souls Day. Visited recently and it was all peaceful and quiet, the only people were the guards at the gate and caretakers. It was so peaceful. Visited the newly refurbished temple at its original site. Crisscrossed to find the tomb of Mr. Ma Mon Luk. Better time to visit as there are few people about
a must visit place. Great architectural structures.
The Manila Chinese Cemetery is the second oldest cemetery in Manila after La Loma Cemetery. The cemetery includes Christian, Buddhist and Taoist burials
I came here on foot, through the market, and the residential area came to this Chinese cemetery. Looking at the life of the local people at the grassroots level along the way, the environment is a little unsatisfactory, and the surrounding environment is a little bad and smelly. Entering the Chinese cemetery is another scene. There are many houses like resorts that still have some history and momentum everywhere. If you don't know it is a grave in advance, you really think it is a resort. The environment is very good in the local area. It is impossible to imagine such a scene in such a place. The contrast between walking through residential areas and coming here is too great. Living people live in a far less favourable environment than "dead people" live in. What is this concept? It is not difficult to see how wealthy Chinese are locally. In fact, as a Chinese, they are proud of it.
if you like to experience and looking for a chinese culture at its best and witnessing there cemetery culture
