Catholic Cemetery


One measure of the population density of Hong Kong is the enormous size of its cemeteries.  This is a shot from the yacht of the Catholic cemetery in Hong Kong.  Given that the population of Hong Kong is only 10% Christian and that Hong Kong was most recently occupied by the mainly Protestant British, the size of this cemetery can give some idea of the great number of people who have lived and died in Hong Kong.
