The Ching Ming Festival, even in modern-day Hong Kong, is a way to enforce family honour and respect, this is the day that Chinese people sweep the graves of their ancestors, remembering past loved ones, and to spend an enjoyable day with relatives.

It is a time for the family to come together to pay their respects, by visiting and maintaining the burial sites of loved ones and ancestors. Families then have meals together, spending quality times with relatives in this public holiday.
