Awesome Graveyard!

Hong Kong, China - We were on a bus on the way to Ocean Park in Hong Kong when we passed by this huge cemetery. I don't know what it's called (probably Hong Kong Cemetery? - I'm guessing here), but it is by far the biggest cemetery I've ever seen, alongside commercial areas and towering buildings. Oddly, I find it beautiful.

Oo nga bom, mukhang beauty nga yung cemetery na yun. Ano yung mga intsik? Nililibing din nila yung patay nila? Oo naman ano! Kasi me sementeryo sila e! Kala ko ba kinicremate nila ang patay nila?
Anyway, siguro naman next time makikita ko din yan! I'm planning to move to Hongkong anytime this year for work...

Hi Ramred, wow! I too think its beautiful, as well rather interesting too, the dead among the living.
There was one of Bruce Lee's .....you remember him?
In that movie he visited his father's grave...and I believe it was filmed here.

I guess this graveyard certainly on prime land, but Chinese being superstitious people, the last thing they want to do is exhume the bodies and built skyscrapers there.

I guess there's no more space left there now.

Nice to know you in HK, have fun, go shopping....don't smoke your credit cards, Lee.

Hi Uncle Lee,

Yes, I just can't help but gaze in awe, it's amazing how big it is, and how it's located in the middle of high rise commercial buildings. One of a kind (at least for me).

Nice to see you here :-)
