Bukit China

As the name implies, 'Chinese Hill' was the official settlement of the Chinese entourage that arrived with Princess Hang Li Poh. She was sent to Malacca (Melaka) by the Emperor to marry the sultan to mark the advent of diplomatic relationship between Malacca (Melaka) and China. The entourage stayed on this settlement until Portuguese occupation in 1511. Today, Bukit China is the largest Chinese cemetery outside China with many of the tombs dating back Ming Dynasty.
