A true city of the dead, the Chinese Cemetery is an amazing area where the dead are venerated in houses instead of graves, and where the family still comes by regularly for more than just laying fresh flowers.
In the 19th century, the Spanish did not allow the Chinese to bury their dead in the catholic cemeteries of the city, so the Chinese were forced to establish their own cemetery. Ever since, it developed to a unique place for the dead, which apparently does not have a similar counterpart in mainland China. This vast area reflects the realities of real life, with luxurious buildings housing the rich, spacious houses the middle class, and walls with square graves the poor. But what makes this cemetery so interesting, is the fact that the dead are buried in fully functional houses with bathrooms, kitchens, bedrooms, and often air conditioning. In some cases, relatives even live in the same house as the dead.
