Beijing Cemetery
Beijing, China

A Chinese child wanders among tombstones at a Chinese cemetery during Qing Ming festival near Beijing, China. Qing Ming, which translate as 'Bright and Clear' festival, is marked annually by Chinese world wide for thousands of years as a day to pay their respects to their ancestors and the dead. Chinese take time to visit and clean up the graves of their departed relatives and make offerings of food and burn paper money in the belief that their relatives would be able to use the money in their afterlife.
