More and more flowers, yellow ribbons, and sea burials are chosen to pay tribute to late family members and others during the three-day Tomb-Sweeping holiday.

Tomb-Sweeping Day falls on April 4th this year. It's a traditional day for the Chinese to commemorate their late beloveds.

People used to burn paper money and other paper-made articles with the intention of letting their late family members enjoy things in the spiritual world. However, more and more people are now choosing greener ways like hanging yellow ribbons since burning activities easily brought fire accidents.
