Hidden in plain sight, Yin Foh Kuan Cemetery is known by various names including Shuang Long Shan Wu Shu Ancestral Hall, Shuang Long Shan Cemetery, Yin Foh Kuan Hakka Cemetery, and Holland Close Graveyard. The last remaining Hakka cemetery was established in 1887 for the Yin Fo Fui Kun clansmen to have a place for burial and ancestral worship. Surrounded by HDB flats and an MRT track, it also makes a striking juxtaposition of life and death. But despite this, the cemetery is quite peaceful. You'll also notice the rows of neatly arranged identical-looking tombstones, a far cry from the bold façades of most Chinese tombstones.
