The Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, is a traditional Chinese festival observed on April 4th or 5th each year. It is a time for families to honor their ancestors by cleaning gravesites, making offerings, and paying respects.

The festival, which dates back over 2,500 years, also marks the arrival of spring, and many people enjoy outdoor activities like flying kites and taking nature walks. Traditional foods such as Qingtuan (sweet green rice balls) are often eaten during the celebration.
