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.
