The take
Old graves under forest, monkeys in the trees and a history the city almost paved over. Go with a guide if you can. These are family graves, so keep off the tombs and have your picnic somewhere else.
Good to know
The first Chinese municipal cemetery in colonial Singapore, opened in 1922 and closed to burials in 1973
