Assistens Cemetery

Full of characters and interesting tombs... all very famous characters from the eighteenth century past... each tomb has its own story, each one is unique... we spent hours wandering around inside... to see people and dogs, Read the epitaph...we would say...this is a must-see place...actually this is the highlight of our trip...and there are big swans on the water!

Free sunny days are too beautiful. The park is full of sunbathers and different cemetery atmosphere. Who says that the cemetery should be solemn and heavy? The dead and the living will be happy in the spring.

Andersen's tomb is in the cemetery of Beiqiao District. Foreigners are not quite resistant to the concept of cemetery. Open-air tombstones are full of cherry trees and other green trees. Flowers in spring and summer are beautiful and peaceful. Andersen's cemetery is not big. Every day, some people come to see the master of fairy tales. From time to time, runners pass by. For them, it's just a beautiful sports venue.

The most amazing experience of the trip. European cemeteries are not as full of nettles as they are described in fairy tales. Vampires look at you on the tombstones. It is full of warmth and respect for our predecessors: there are little angels beside the tombstone, and wind lamps and dolls hanging on the branches beside the graveyard. And candlesticks, notebooks, etc. The whole cemetery is like a botanical garden. There are many kinds of plants, and they are full of vitality. There are special staff to manage them with modern equipment. People exercise and walk here, quiet and peaceful.

Arthurston is both a very large Oasis Park and a serious national cemetery. A main avenue spreads out under the well-trimmed poplar trees to the memorial of the fairy-tale king's death.
