The largest traditional Chinese cemetery outside China, Bukit China in Malacca contains over 12,500 graves including some dating to the Ming Dynasty β making it simultaneously a functional burial ground and one of Malaysia's most significant historical sites. The hill's Sam Po Kong temple, reputedly linked to Zheng He's 1405 visit, and the Hang Li Poh Well at its base are directly connected to the diplomatic history of the earliest Malaccan Sultanate.
