An eye-catching Hanfu parade was spotted in a them park in Jingzhou, central China’s Hubei Province on Saturday, the first day of China’s Qingming Festival. The Qingming festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, or pure brightness festival in English (sometimes also called Chinese Memorial Day or Ancestors’ Day), is a traditional Chinese festival observed by the Han Chinese of mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand and by the ethnic Chinese of Malaysia and Singapore. During Qingming, Chinese families visit the tombs of their ancestors to clean the gravesites, pray to their ancestors and make ritual offerings.
