Cemetery ritual

Xianhe Cemetery, the only graveyard in Minhang, was fully prepared for grave visits that usually peak around the winter solstice on December 22. Shuttle buses went between the cemetery and Metro stations, and volunteers patrolled the cemetery to prevent any fire incidents arising from people burning traditional paper offerings. It is also considered the best day to bury the ashes of the departed.
