Foreigners Cemetery
Guangzhou, Guangdong, China
The Christian cemetery for foreigners at Whampoa—there was also a Muslim burial ground— bore testimony to the dangers of living in south China's extreme tropical climate. "In the height of the seasons in 1820s and 1830s, there were often as many as 100 sailing vessels lying at Whampoa for three months or more, awaiting their cargoes of tea. As each ship would have between 50 and 150 people on board, together they formed a large concentration of souls and the death rate was high.
