Qingming has traditionally been a time for Chinese to visit the graves of their loved ones. But with many people living far away from where the departed lay, the festival has startedto move online. Liu Zhihua reports.
Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb Sweeping Day, is a festival in which Chinese pay homage to their deceased loved ones.
Family members clear the weeds around the tombs, burn incense and make traditional paper offerings, such as paper money, at the grave sites.
