Chin Pao San

Chin Pao San (also Jingbaoshan, Jinbaoshan Chinese: 金寶山; pinyin: jīn bǎo shān; literally "Golden Treasure Mountain") is a private cemetery located on a mountainside near the town of Jinshan, in Taipei County, northern Taiwan. The site overlooks the Ju Ming Museum and, farther on, the East China Sea. Urns are placed both indoors and outdoors. The site is accessible to visitors in wheelchairs.

Chin Pao San is noted for its abundant art. Buddhist and Taoist themes dominate, yet one of the main buildings emphasizes Christianity and all major religions are represented; much of the sculpture is not overtly religious in character. The grounds and interiors feature hundreds of original works by Ju Ming, the Taiwanese sculptor whose work represents the bulk of the collection at the nearby museum.

The most frequently visited grave belongs to Taiwanese singer Teresa Teng. Her memorial garden features a life-size statue and an electronic keyboard set in the ground that can be played by visitors who step on the keys.
