Interesting place to come and see. The mosoleums are larger than some people's apartments. We only stayed for half an hour looking around, but you can hire tour guides. Some people lived in them too.

Unique experience when you rent a bicycle to tour the actual streets and avenues of the deceased. Chinese had to have their own cemetery because Catholics wouldn’t allow them in theirs.
A unique cemetery not found elsewhere in the Philippines and most probably not even in China. Has become a tourist attraction.
Not exactly the nicest cemetery in the metro but it is well maintained.
Pretty unique in the sense that there are hardly shared lots for resting places here. There are mostly mausoleums. Lots of old chinese families have their mausoleums built here and most are bigger than apartment units. Some even have two storeys and bathrooms. The cemetery also houses a lot of caretakers and their families as well because of the underground economy of maintaining the mausoleums. The atmosphere is pretty laid back here and is conducive for strolling.
Historically important place in the history of the Philippines. Created when the Philippines was a part of Spain as Chinese were not allowed to be buried in Intramuros. Lots of historical figures buried here and grave archetectures are fantastic.
Fascinating cemetery but it would be good to have a local guide/more signage to explain the history behind it. Watch out for wild dogs.
Very interesting place. Thousands of people are live there (actually in more comfy conditions than in slum). Here (and in another parts of cemetery) you can find real shops, garages, playgrounds etc. Just be careful that different parts of cemetery (Manila North Cemetery, Chinese Cemetery, Catholic Cemetery) are divided by walls, so you should go out and get round by street to get to another part of cemetery.
