Chinese cemetery Melaka

The Chinese cemetary in Melaka is huge- 25 hectares of wooded hillside, which is just as well because the graves are huge. I walked up the hill, which seems to serve as a favourite jogging spot for Malay and Chinese men. The graves are huge circles with a small wall in front and a bigh wall at the back, inscribed with Chinese characters, often picked out in gold leaf, surrounded by stone carved with leaves and flowers.

 For some reason blogger isn't letting me upload photos, so I put an album on facebook.
