Cape Collinson Chinese Permanent Cemetery [????- ]

Despite its name, the cemetery is no longer "permanent" these days. (It was, in the days of my grandparents, who are still resting peacefully and permanently in this cemetery). New residents face eviction after some years, and their "homes" get demolished, as shown in this picture.

Hong Kong is so crowded that even the ashes of people who have passed away have to reside in multi-storey buildings.

I do not know anything about feng shui, so I do not know why this building is octagonal.
