Malay cemeteries possess a unique tranquil beauty of their own. This one evokes the stark haunting sensuality of the English woods. Line upon line of rod-straight tree trunks spread out evenly across the burial grounds, their thick canopies providing ample shade for the tombstones. A narrow entrance leads up a tarred pavement on a small incline to an old building in the center of the sprawling compound, within which lies the elaborate burial chambers of members of the royal family. Casual well-behaved strollers are allowed, but leave your bicycle at the gate.
