This year I decided to visit cemeteries in KL on CNY day. Not with Joe this time, but with my Dutch friend Paul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And not as &#8220;exhaustive&#8221; as the 2014 trip. There are many cemeteries in KL of course, often on the outskirts of the town, we visited only two major ones this time, the Kwong Tong Chinese Cemetery and the Cheras Christian Cemetery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Kwong Tong cemetery is huge, split in two parts by the Middle Ring Road 1. There are sign boards with information about interesting graves, but only in Chinese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1-2019-02-05-11.03.08.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"564\" data-attachment-id=\"17431\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=17431\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1-2019-02-05-11.03.08.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,564\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Picasa&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone XS Max&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1549335788&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.25&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;25&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0012674271229404&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1-2019-02-05 11.03.08\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1-2019-02-05-11.03.08-300x212.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1-2019-02-05-11.03.08.jpg\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" src=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1-2019-02-05-11.03.08.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17431\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1-2019-02-05-11.03.08.jpg 800w, https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1-2019-02-05-11.03.08-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1-2019-02-05-11.03.08-768x541.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/1-2019-02-05-11.03.08-426x300.jpg 426w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From the sprawling cemetery. you have a nice view of the imposing KL skyline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/01-2019-02-05-11.01.57.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"392\" data-attachment-id=\"17432\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/?attachment_id=17432\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/01-2019-02-05-11.01.57.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,392\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Picasa&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone XS Max&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1549335717&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.25&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;25&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00053191489361702&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"01-2019-02-05 11.01.57\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/01-2019-02-05-11.01.57-300x147.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/01-2019-02-05-11.01.57.jpg\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" src=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/01-2019-02-05-11.01.57.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17432\" srcset=\"https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/01-2019-02-05-11.01.57.jpg 800w, https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/01-2019-02-05-11.01.57-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/01-2019-02-05-11.01.57-768x376.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stuif.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/01-2019-02-05-11.01.57-500x245.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is a beautiful cemetery.
