Tomb Sweeping Festival
The Tomb Sweeping Festival (also known as Qingming Festival) is a traditional Chinese holiday observed to honor ancestors by visiting their graves, cleaning tombstones, and offering food and other tributes. It takes place annually around April 4th, though the exact date can vary slightly based on the lunar calendar.
In Taiwan, this festival is typically observed from April 3rd to 4th. People also take part in activities like flying kites, which is believed to help ward off evil spirits. The holiday is a time for families to gather, reflect, and pay respects to their ancestors.
If you’re in Taiwan or planning to visit, it’s a culturally rich time of year to experience local traditions
