【TCLin's Travel Log】Philippines Attractions: Chinese Mausoleum 🪦🪦
🔴 - Not the latest information, for reference only
I don’t know if the point shared today can be regarded as a scenic spot 🤔🤔
Maybe it is a tourist attraction in the eyes of Westerners, but in the eyes of Easterners, it may be a taboo
In the eyes of Orientals, issues involving death are something that many people avoid talking about 🔕🔕
📝 - Chinese Mausoleum <br class="smart">is where early Chinese immigrants to the Philippines were buried after death
🔺- Located in the slums of the Philippines, when you visit, you must pass through the slums here first, or you can choose to take a tricycle to arrive, then you will detour the road
🔴 - It is not recommended to bring too many valuables on your body
When you see the four characters of Overseas Chinese Yishan, it is the entrance.
🔷- No visit fee-🔷
However, if you want to introduce a guide, you must pay a guide fee
It is very different from the general impression of the cemetery.
In places where there is hardly any human beings, the less timid friends may walk awkwardly because they occasionally hear the sound of dogs barking and the cemetery manager who suddenly appears silently.
The people of that era seemed to think that the world after death was equivalent to the appearance of the present world. The resting place of the present world would be the appearance of the world after death. Therefore, those who were able would use the cemetery to be magnificent.
Not only Chinese style mausoleums exist in many other countries as well.
By the way, you can go in and take a look, but you have to notify the administrator first and give him money, he will unlock the lock and let you go in to see and hear that there will be sofas, TVs, air conditioners, etc. It seems that there are still cars.
But this time I didn't pay to visit the friends who have the opportunity to come. If you are not afraid, you can pay to go in and have a look. It should be quite wonderful.
Although Chinese characters are used in the mausoleum area, except here, there are very few people in the Philippines who can see Chinese characters and almost no people who can speak Chinese.
Some things seem to really disappear with the passage of time
The tomb of the rich, the dwelling of the poor is a strong contrast
Since the place where the living live is simpler than the tomb of the dead, it is a place that bears witness to the so-called gap between rich and poor.
Like my work? Don't forget to support and clap, let me know that you are with me on the road of creation. Keep this enthusiasm together!
