City's cemeteries fully booked for Qingming
All 160,000 slots to visit Shanghai’s 54 cemeteries and columbaria on April 4, the day of Qingming Festival, have been fully reserved, the city's civil affairs authorities announced on Wednesday.
Qingming is when Chinese people clean family tombs and pay tribute to their ancestors. This year, visitors to cemeteries are controlled via online reservations to prevent crowds amid the coronavirus disease pandemic.
There are only a few slots left for April 5 and 6, which are also included in the three-day Qingming Festival public holiday, the Shanghai Civil Affairs Bureau said. A total of 140,000 and 120,000 slots were made available for reservation on these two days respectively, according to the bureau.
