Ching Ming festival is one of the two annual, traditional dates when Chinese sweep the tombs and graves of their loved ones and ancestors. Graveyards will usually be crowded as people bring joss paper to burn as well as gifts of fruit and rice wine to their departed relatives. In recent years, fewer people have come out due to pandemic social distancing regulations, but one joss-paper shop told the Post that business is now picking up again.
