Tehran(KNA) : Cemeteries might not be an obvious tourist spot, but many see thousands of visitors each year. And the world's most hauntingly beautiful burial sites that combine ornate tombstones and stunning landscapes have been revealed in a new book.
Travel blogger Loren Rhoads has penned the book 199 Cemeteries to See Before You Die detailing what makes these cemeteries unique.
Among the burial grounds featured in the book is Mount Koya cemetery in Japan, where 10,000 lanterns illuminate a forest setting and Arlington National Cemetery in the US, where cherry blossom trees bloom in the spring.
Ms Rhoads said: 'I love the serendipity of wandering through a cemetery. My favourite is always the cemetery I'm standing in at the moment.'
