This Friday we deliver a mixed bag of goodies, from an image gallery of the Haikou 2023 China International Consumer Products Expo to a look at Ghost day in China.

In a previous post we briefly mentioned Ghost Day, AKA China Tomb Sweeping Festival or Qingming Festival. On this day, Chinese people visit the tombs of relatives and their family members and ancestors, to clean and maintain the gravesites. To make sure their relatives are comfortable in the after world, some may also burn paper money, gold or silver ingots, paper clothes or buildings.
