The Chinatown Museum is found at the topmost floor of the Chinatown Hotel Bldg, at the right side of Lucky Chinatown Mall. It is accessible to wheelchair users as well. This interactive Museum tells about the rich history of Manila Chinatown, one of the oldest Chinatowns in the world. The exhibit are divided into various sections about the people, religion, food, crafstmanship, culture, vices, fire safety and even the birth of the Philippine Revolution in Chinatown. A must visit for those exploring Manila for the first time or for the nth time. Tickets are affordable and bought at the entrance. Add P50 if you and your kids want to have a mini notebook for collecting stamps in every sections of the museum, or you may being your travel journal with you as well.

Our visit to the Chinatown Museum was a blast! Got to dive into the awesome history of Binondo, from the first Chinese settlers to the bustling trade scenes. The exhibits were a mix of cool artifacts and old pics, making it super interesting. It's like Binondo's story in a nutshell โ Chinese traditions blending with Filipino vibes. Definitely a must-visit if you're into history and want to soak up the vibe of this vibrant neighborhood! Big shoutout to Joyce for being our guide at the Chinatown Museum! She made the whole experience extra awesome, dropping knowledge bombs and keeping it fun. Her enthusiasm and insights added a special touch to our visit, making the history of Binondo come alive. Kudos, Joyce โ you rock! ๐

The Chinatown Museum is located on the fourth floor of Lucky Chinatown Mall. The entrance fee is 150 pesos. You can do a self-guided tour or avail of the services of the tour guides there with no additional cost. I recommend having a tour guide because not only will they provide information, but they also offer to become your personal photographer and assistant in knowing which displays you can wear, touch, and even use. The place is full of exciting information from the pre-Spanish era down to the present time. It is a worthwhile place to visit, and definitely not your typical boring, no touch Museum.

Highly recommended activity in Manila! Its a small museum but please do get the guided tour. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the Filipino-Chinese culture and beginnings. He made our visit interactive where we were able to use/feel some of the items in the museum under his supervision. Saw a lot of cool artifacts. He also took amazing photos! Mabuhay ka kuya! We visited the museum at around 1pm on a Sunday and were the only ones there. We did not have to wait in line. We paid 150pesos each.

Happy to have been here (twice already). As someone who grew up and still lives in Downtown Manila, going here is such a treat. I love how they made the museum interactive and also instagrammable. Maybe they just need to add more interesting pieces and also expand it even more. I thought it was a bit "bitin." But, still, I would highly recommend this museum. Truly, if Makati is what the PH aspires to be, Chinatown shows us what it used to be.
