At the same time, since those in favor of tearing it up felt the cemetery was an eyesore with its weeds and overgrowth, a beautification campaign was launched that caught on among the Chinese community like wildfire. Volunteer groups weeded the grounds, opened up trails and even put on for a time, folk performances, turning the historical stage of the past into today's "paradise for joggers."
在這同時，鑑於剷山者認為山上荒煙蔓草，有礙觀瞻，華社美化三保山的活動於是如火如荼地展開，義工隊上山除草，開闢山徑，一度還在周末作民俗藝術表演，使昔日的歷史舞台有了今天「跑步天堂」的規模。
