Cape Collinson Chinese Permanent Cemetery, Cemetery in Eastern District, Hong Kong, China
Cape Collinson Chinese Permanent Cemetery is a cemetery in Eastern District, Hong Kong, China. It is a large hillside cemetery with terraced sections and rows of graves facing the sea, and it is reached by a road that climbs from the coast.
The cemetery opened in the 1960s to serve Chinese families in Hong Kong. It was developed on a hillside site and has been managed by the Chinese Permanent Cemeteries Board since then.
Many families visit during Ching Ming and Chung Yeung to clean graves and leave offerings. The layout follows Chinese cemetery customs, with graves arranged in rows and some sections reserved for specific clans or associations.
The site is spread across a slope, so expect steep paths and steps between sections. Wear comfortable shoes and allow extra time to move between levels, especially on hot days.
The cemetery sits on a slope with wide views over the sea and the surrounding islands. Some graves are built into the hillside in stepped rows, which is unusual to see in such a setting.
