Chinese Cemetery

I’d been meaning to visit the Chinese Cemetery for quite some time, especially after reading about its history.
Evergreen was unfairly demanding payment from Chinese-​Americans to be buried in the potters field, while whites were buried for free. Of course that was the ONLY place that allowed Chinese to be buried at all.
With the founding of the Chinese Cemetery, the people finally had a place to lay their loved ones to rest, with a marker and all. While the grass is pretty much dead and they’re right up against where the 60 and 710 meet, it’s well worth coming to pay respects to this piece of hallowed ground. A shrine with a round-​about rests in the middle of the cemetery.
Graves in the southeastern corner are more uniform, short, white stones dating in the 1920s and ‘30s. Elsewhere the graves are larger and more decorative.
If I’m not mistaken there were rules posted against leaving food offerings on graves, but that still doesn’t stop them from placing fruit and other items on the stones.
Looks like there’s a family living on the grounds. There’s a house in the northeastern corner of the cemetery with multiple cars parked. They have their own gate in and out of the cemetery (toward 1^st Street), which remains closed. The only entrance for visitors is on Eastern Avenue and the road through is just wide enough to fit two cars.
