Checking Out (At) The Old Chinese Cemetery In Manila

Cemetery or a whole civilization for the afterlife? At this Chinese cemetery, it's difficult to tell. The place is laid out like city blocks with huge mausoleums. An exaggeration? Nope.

The view from the cemetery back toward Manila, looking a bit like a hilltop, exclusive neighborhood.

Families have built small buildings in honor of their dead, no restrictions on style and facilities.

It feels like you're in some sort of alternative universe neighborhood.

Inside the mausoleums, paying great honor to the dead.

Someone's fancy house in the hills? Nope, a family mausoleum. Wild.
