Ancestor worship is a Chinese tradition that goes back thousands of years. "Ching Ming" or "Remembrance of Ancestors Day" is therefore a key holiday in the Chinese calendar. On this weekend, you may view hundreds of families visiting the cemetery to sweep/clean their ancestors’ graves and repaint the inscriptions on the headstones to show their respect. The families will bring food offerings too.
