Binondo Beyond the Food Trip | Chinatown Museum Tour

We spent a day exploring Binondo, Manila — the oldest Chinatown in the world, and finally checked out the Chinatown Museum inside Lucky Chinatown Mall. We went there last January 22, 2026, after doing a Binondo food trip first (because priorities 😌). I was with my cousin Bea, and this was actually a nice way to slow down and learn more about the place after eating. The Chinatown Museum covers the history of Binondo, starting from its establishment during the Spanish period as a settlement for Chinese migrants. It talks about Chinese-Filipino life, traditions, trade, and how Binondo became a major business and commercial district in Manila. One of the interesting parts is learning about Binondo Church, officially the Basilica of St. Lorenzo Ruiz. The church played a big role in the community and is connected to St. Lorenzo Ruiz, the first Filipino saint who had Chinese heritage and was baptized there. The museum also highlights Binondo’s links to Philippine national heroes, including Jose Rizal, which adds more depth to the area’s history. The exhibits are easy to follow, with a mix of old photos, artifacts, and modern displays, so it doesn’t feel boring or overwhelming. If you want to understand Binondo beyond the food scene, this museum is definitely worth a visit and a good stop to add to your Binondo itinerary. 📍 Chinatown Museum, Lucky Chinatown Mall 📅 January 22, 2026 ⸻ Tags / Hashtags: #ChinatownMuseum #Binondo #BinondoManila #OldestChinatown #BinondoFoodTrip #ChineseFilipinoHistory #BinondoChurch #StLorenzoRuiz #ManilaMuseums #TravelVlogPH #ExploreManila #HistoryVlog #MuseumPH
