YTRiP invites you to take an Old Manila Walk

Join us this Saturday, July 28 at 9:00 am as we explore the Chinese cemetery in La Loma (beside the North Cemetery).

Be it deadly curiosity or
a simple interest in old Manila, the tour lets you learn more about Filipino-Chinese heritage and the stories of the most powerful magnates in Pinoy history.

This is in partnership with Old Manila Walks - a group of passionate streetwalkers that lets you "experience the best of historic Manila - one step at a time."

When you come with us on this trip, you also let SIX (6) students from the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila walk with us. This is one of the initial steps in our Field Trip for Public School Students program.

The tour fees of the first three people to sign-up are on us! Email us at youthtrip@gmail.com.

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 (the one in the photo).

Tour Fee: Php 500. We all meet at 9am.
