Chinese Diaspora: Art Streams from the Mainland – A Walking Tour of China Town to celebrate the exhibition at Ayala Museum

A Walking Tour of China Town to celebrate the exhibition at Ayala Museum
Chinese Diaspora: Art Streams from the Mainland
15 Feb – 27 May 2007

落  地  生  根
In my Ah-Kong’s Footsteps!

Four hundred years of history and up to four hours of decadence!
The culture of old China is now in Manila. Come talk, walk and lose those calories as we explore the breadth, the width and most intimate alleys of Manila’s Chinese quarter!

We start, quite paradoxically, in a 16th century Baroque cathedral while making our way down to a miraculous Chinese shrine! Take a peek at a traditional chocolate factory! Learn about Chinese marriage rituals! Take a whiff inside a Chinese medicine shop! Sing hurrahs to an authentic Hokkien-style lumpia!

We’ll horse around the streets talking Filipino history and the Chinese experience in our country. Forget about South Beach, its Tsinoy chop suey and more as we nibble our way down through Chinatown!
