Chinese Cemetery
Jalan Puteri Hang Li Poh, Bukit Cina, Melaka, MalaysiaAbout
Bukit China is a 17th Century cemetery in Malacca, Malaysia, the largest Chinese cemetery outside China. There are graves that date back to the late Ming Dynasty, making them more than 300 years old. The oldest tombs are dated 1622, a double burial for Mr. and Mrs. Huang Wei-Hung. There could have been many more graves as old or older if the British did not exhume a huge part of the cemetery when they were in control of Malaysia. Bukit China (or Cina) means âChinese Hillâ.
