Referred to as ‘Tomb Sweeping Day’, the Qingming Festival that takes place in such countries as Taiwan, gives you a chance to learn more about China’s rich cultural heritage and traditions. Those heading to the capital and wanting to stay at well placed luxury hotels in Taipei can choose Regent Taipei. This luxury hotel Taipei is an ideal starting point to your many adventures in the city. Generally taking place either on April 4th or 5th, the Qingming Festival is a national holiday and is a day people dedicate to their ancestors. Thus it is customary that during this time people visit burial sites, pay respect to their ancestors that have passed away and literally clean and sweep the tombs, making them presentable.
