Some gravesites become global landmarks, and on Capitol Hill, one such spot attracts thousands of visitors every year. Halfway up the hill at Lake View Cemetery, you'll find the resting place of Bruce Lee, the legendary Chinese American martial artist and film star. He was laid to rest here in 1973, shortly before the release of his iconic film, Enter the Dragon.

Today, he is interred alongside his son, Brandon Lee. The site is so beloved that on Bruce's birthday, flowers are often piled as high as the headstones themselves. It's a quiet, stone-paved path that leads to a legacy that continues to inspire people from all over the world.
