Ching Ming (Grave-Sweeping Day), 

Hong Kong, China

 
04 Apr 2010  

Held on the day of the Third Moon, the day is also known as the Grave-Sweeping or Spring Remembrance Day. Ching Ming literally means 'clear and bright' and is the time of the year when Chinese families visit the graves of their ancestors to clean the graveside and pay their respects. It's common for families to make offerings of rice, fruit and wine to ensure their loved ones have enough food and drink in the afterlife. Many families use public transport to visit the graves which can mean certain bus routes get incredibly crowded.
