Bukit China
Bukit China is one of Malaysia's most visited historical sites, located along with Jalan Puteri Hang Li Poh in Melaka, the largest and oldest burial ground of the Malacca's Chinese minority outside of China. The complex, which covers more than 25000 square meters, was constructed to strengthen ties between China and Malaysia.
The woodland road through Butik China is famous for jogging and walking among the graves, and there is a replica of Sultan Mansur Shah's palace, which currently houses Malacca's cultural museum.
At its foot are Cheng Ho's seven wells, and Butik China is claimed to have been a wedding present from the Sultan to Princess Hang Li Po. There are temples, wells, and a bridge, as well as an outstanding Chinese World War II memorial. UNESCO has designated Bukit Cina Hill as a World Heritage Site. The location also provides a wonderful perspective of Malacca as well as a lush, tranquil refuge from the city's bustle.
