PHUKET: Phuket Municipality has announced that Soi Susanti, along the popular shortcut from Samkong to the back of Surakul Stadium at the base of Rang Hill, will be one way southbound only daily from Saturday (Mar 30) through April 7 as local residents observe the traditional Chinese festivities for Ancestor’s Day.

 

Ancestor’s Day, also called the Ching Ming (or Qingming) festival and also known as Tomb-Sweeping Day (sometimes also called Chinese Memorial Day) is a traditional Chinese festival when families visit the tombs of their ancestors to clean the gravesites, pray to their ancestors, and make ritual offerings.

 

Offerings typically include traditional food dishes, and the burning of joss sticks and joss paper. The holiday recognises the traditional reverence of one’s ancestors in Chinese culture.
