The Macau Post Daily’s office will open again on Monday.
We wish all our readers, advertisers, distributors and contributors a restful holiday.
All government offices and banks will be closed today and will reopen on Monday.
The Qingming Festival (清明节), also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day, is a traditional Chinese festival that falls on the 15th day after the Spring Equinox (usually April 4 or 5). It is a time for honouring one’s ancestors by visiting their graves, cleaning tombstones, making offerings (such as food, incense and spirit money), and paying one’s respects. Directly translated, the Chinese name of the festival means “clear brightness”.
