Ching Ming Festival – Third Moon
(March/April) Click for western date >>

Ancestor worship is a Chinese tradition dating back thousands of years.

Also known as the Grave-sweeping or Spring Remembrance, Ching Ming ("clear and bright") is when Chinese families show their respect by visiting the graves of their ancestors to clear away weeds, touch up gravestone inscriptions and make offerings of wine and fruit.

Public transport is widely used, particularly on routes along which cemeteries are located, and the MTR runs extra services along its East Rail Line to cope with the increased traffic to burial areas in the New Territories. You should expect delays on public transport and on roads with access to cemeteries.
