Burial Tombs in Taiwan


The cemetaries in Taiwan are quite interesting. What I have been told is that each family has an ancestral tomb which they visit on April 4--Tomb Sweeping Day. At this time, family graves are swept, and meats, fruits, and wine are arranged before the tombs. The tombs are often found on the sides of mountains and face the sea. When I find out more around April 4, I'll let you know.
