Happy Valley Jewish Cemetery
The Happy Valley Jewish Cemetery in Hong Kong serves as the primary Jewish burial site in the area. Located on Shan Kwong Road, it is managed by Jones Lang Lasalle Management Services. The cemetery was established in 1855 by Reuben David Sassoon on former farmland purchased by his father, David Sassoon, of the prominent Anglo-Jewish Sassoon family, from the British Crown to cater to Hong Kong's Jewish community.
In 1904, additional land was acquired to include space for a chapel and other facilities. The cemetery holds over 300 graves, including members of the Kadoorie family. The first burial occurred in 1857.
Notably, the cemetery also contains two World War II graves and one non-war service grave, all maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
