Bukit Cina translates to “Chinese Hill”, and refers to a massive (820,000 square feet) mound of land in the Malaysian city of Malacca. This hill is actually the largest Chinese cemetery outside of China itself, with more than 12,000 graves, some of which date all the way back to the Middle Ages. The hill’s history began when the daughter of a Chinese emperor married a Malaysian sultan and lived on the hill, and continued in the 16th century when a monastery was built on the property. It was officially declared to be a cemetery for the Chinese in the 17th century, and today it is a lovely park with paths for walking, and plenty of memorials and gravestones for history buffs to peruse.
