Summary edit

Description
English: An auspicious site, chosen through feng shui, overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca in the Pacific Ocean, is the Chinese Cemetery, national heritage site where the bones of Chinese immigrants from across Canada were sent before being returned to China as per Chinese custom. When the program was stopped, common graves were made here. Though no burials have taken place here since 1961,on special occasions the towers are still sometimes used to burn imitation money, and the altar for offerings of incense and oranges among other things. Today the stunning site is a popular quiet place of contemplative enjoyment.
