On Christmas Island, there is a century-old Chinese cemetery. The cemetery sits on a cliff face with an unobstructed view of the sea and was built on high ground according to Feng Shui principles.
The cemetery is a time capsule of the island’s story and is largely unspoiled. It is a place where the Chinese community can pay tribute to their ancestors and honor their culture and heritage.
The cemetery is also a unique example of the integration of nature and culture. Nestled in the island’s natural landscape, the cemetery’s tombstones are often ornately decorated and carry symbols of Chinese culture.
The cemetery is a testament to the long history of the Chinese community on Christmas Island and a valuable cultural heritage.
