Description: The Chung Wah Cemetery, also known as China Mission-Chung Wah Chinese Cemetery, in 1226 Forrest Street, Folsom, California is a cemetery from 1906. The city of Folsom had a thriving Chinese community of about 3,000 that was drawn by the gold mining in the area. The size and shape of the cemetery suggests that it was not planned well. Graves were reportedly dug wherever there was room, with no specific orientation or layout. The Chung Wah cemetery served Chinese immigrants of the Heungshan dialect while another local cemetery, Yeong Wo was built by people from the Chungshan district. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. فارسی: قبرستان چانگ وا در شهر تاریخی فولسوم در ایالت کالیفرنیای آمریکا قرار دارد که در سال۱۹۰۶ میلادی برای ۳۰۰۰ چینی که برای کشف طلا به شهر فولسوم مهاجرت کرده بودند .ساخته شده است. اندازه وشکل این قبرستان نشان میدهد که قبرها بدون طراحی قبلی ایجاد شده اند هر کجا که زمین خالی بوده قبری کنده میشد. گفته میشود که چینی های محله هیونگشان چین اینجا دفن شده باشند
