Chinese Cemetery (Danyor)
The Gilgit Chinese Memorial Cemetery (Chinese: 吉尔吉特中国烈士陵园, Urdu: گلگت چینی یادگاری قبرستان), locally known as the China Memorial (Shina: چائنہ یادگار, lit. 'Chinā Yadgār'), is a graveyard located in Danyor, Gilgit–Baltistan, about ten kilometres away from the capital city of Gilgit across the Gilgit River. The cemetery, established in early 1970, serves as the final resting place of Chinese workers and engineers who died during the construction of the Karakoram Highway (KKH) in Pakistan throughout the 1960s and 1970s. The tombstones placed over the graves contain epitaph inscriptions in Chinese characters.In August 2011, a Chinese delegation consisting of retired People's Liberation Army soldiers, journalists and a relative of a worker visited the cemetery to pay homage to the deceased. The visit was widely publicized in the Chinese media.
