The Chinese Cemetery
Posted on | March 31, 2010 | No Comments
Chinese cemeteries are known to have some stunning graves, and this one is no exception. Like all Chinese cemeteries it is located on a slope, this one overlooking the Bandung Plain. It is quite amazing what care and money have been put into the money tombs that cover an area of altogether more than a square kilometer. This grave-yard is really worth seeing.
A well-surfaced road runs through the graveyard, giving access to many fancy-shaped graves. Note the Chinese dragons on many of the roof tops and enjoy the many varieties of Chinese temple design. When you look out over the Bandung Plain and the city, the Bandung Hills are behind you.
Directions:
Go to the Cicaheum bus terminal in the eastern part of Bandung. From here take the road to Ujung Berung and turn left 1.3 km later where a road branches off uphill. This road takes you to the graveyard about 1 km farther on.
