In fact, this is indeed a people of another world, this is the old Christian cemetery in Dhaka, carrying the historical memory of the colonial rule that has been experienced here. As a deep cemetery and vegetable market lover, naturally find time to look at it. The stewards greeted me with a friendly smile, and it was a wonderful and bizarre experience to be greeted in a Hindu way in a Christian cemetery in a Muslim country. The cemetery was originally built in the early 18th century to be buried in foreign European merchants and colonists, and some local believers. The real owners are barbaric plants, with tombstones and epitaphs hidden between the green kingdoms and decay, but unexpectedly creating a barren romantic mood. The cemetery has various forms of tombstones, reflecting the different ages, cultural backgrounds and aesthetic interests of the deceased. Another very fantastical place in Old Dhaka, also related to the cemetery, is that the area where the Armenian church is located is still called Armanitola, translated as the Armenian gathering area. Bangladesh is still an important jute producer, and in the 1st century, the jute trade brought huge profits to Bangladesh, and the most important group of jute traders were Armenians. The church was originally built by Armenians, and in 1781 the local Armenian diaspora funded the construction and retained the surrounding cemetery. Although the Armenian community has long disappeared, this exquisite church and surrounding cemetery still silently tells the history of the past. <ctag id="110588" wxurl="https://m.ctrip.com/webapp/you/tripshoot/paipai/topicPage/topicPage?seo=0&isHideHeader=true&isHideNavBar=YES&navBarStyle=white&autoawaken=close&popup=close&topicId=110588&isMini=2" type="4" businesstype="1"># City Humanities Handbook </ctag> <ctag id="5647" wxurl="https://m.ctrip.com/webapp/you/tripshoot/paipai/topicPage/topicPage?seo=0&isHideHeader=true&isHideNavBar=YES&navBarStyle=white&autoawaken=close&popup=close&topicId=5647&isMini=2" type="4" businesstype="9"># Bangladesh </ctag> <ctag id="17" wxurl="https://m.ctrip.com/webapp/you/tripshoot/paipai/topicPage/topicPage?seo=0&isHideHeader=true&isHideNavBar=YES&navBarStyle=white&autoawaken=close&popup=close&topicId=17&isMini=2" type="4" businesstype="1"># Historical Monuments </ctag> <ctag id="59352" wxurl="https://m.ctrip.com/webapp/you/tripshoot/paipai/topicPage/topicPage?seo=0&isHideHeader=true&isHideNavBar=YES&navBarStyle=white&autoawaken=close&popup=close&topicId=59352&isMini=2" type="4" businesstype="2"># Minor Discovery Society </ctag>
