Time runs so fast. It's almost just like yesterday when we had our very first Binondo Food and Heritage tour last year. I cannot believe it is the time of the year again! Walk with Chan in cooperation with different NGO groups like Binondo Firecracker and Lovers Association, Binondo Fire Volunteers are inviting students, tourists, photographers , architecture, heritage advocates and people from all walks of life to a whole day tour on the oldest and one of the largest Chinatown in the world
February 19 , 2015 marks the Chinese Year. It is the 32 number in the sixty-year cycle called YI WEI and described in Chinese tradition like "Ram respected by Others". To those who are not aware yet, 2015 is the year of Green Wooden Ram (Sheep, Goat).
What does this mean for us? The upcoming 2015 year of the Ram is dubbed as the inspiring period. It will try to leave behind any unstable affair and connections with the aim to carve a new more honest pattern of relations. Sounds so complicated though? Join us for a whole day of Chinese New Year 2015 Guided Tour Package At Chinatown , Binondo and San Nicolas. We are changing the flow of our tour this year! We will have our consultation with a Feng Shui expert first because we knew this is the most awaited.
