Binh Hung Hoa Cemetery

Binh Hung Hoa Cemetery

Binh Hung Hoa Cemetery is the largest cemetery in the urban area of Ho Chi Minh City. It used to be located in the suburban outskirt of the city but due to the rapid urbanization of Ho Chi Minh City, the urban area has eclipsed this cemetery. There are several illegal houses built here and the poor people live besides the tombs. In Vietnamese custom, the dead are often buried and therefore puts the pressure on land near the city, especially a large city like Ho Chi Minh City.
