This photo taken by Mike Clarke during the Cheung Yeung Festival shows Chinese family members paying tribute to their ancestors at a local cemetery in Hong Kong. I don’t recall seeing any cemeteries in person when I was in Hong Kong, but if I saw any like the one above, you can bet I would have done a double-take. Are most Hong Kong cemeteries like this? If so, that’s sort of awesome from a visual point of view.
They are, because Hong Kong is so short on space. There are more Western cemeteries but probably only for those who can afford the land.
