Bukit Cina, or Chinese Hill, is a historic site in Malacca that serves as one of the oldest Chinese cemeteries outside China. The hill is dotted with thousands of graves dating back to the Ming dynasty, offering a quiet, reflective atmosphere. At its base lies the Sam Po Kong Temple, dedicated to Admiral Zheng He, and the famous Hang Li Poh's Well. Visitors can stroll along shaded paths, explore the temple, and learn about the hill's significance as a symbol of the Chinese community's deep roots in Malaysia.
