From the road, it looks like some kind of enchanted city—pagoda-style structures painted in terracottas, yellows and turquoises, some inlaid with mosaic; others topped with stars, dragons and other mythical creatures. But step a little closer and you’ll see that this particular city is, in fact, a cemetery.
