Lishui – small city lost among the mountains. Here unending plantations of tangerines, peaches and other fruits occupy basically every slope. You hike every week enjoying surrounding scenery. Finally one day spring comes, turning those mountains into fairy tale like scenery, where every path is filled with colours, sounds of chirping birds and fragrance of blooming flowers…

Around the time of the Tomb Sweeping Day, when you stroll down the streets, you can see many shops selling ritual goods. Among the customs related to the Qinming festival, burning so called Hell Money is probably one of the most interesting. You just couldn’t resist yourself and did some research on the topic… You’ve been just told that you will have one more day free this week. You’re very happy even though you don’t quite understand why you’ve been granted this privilege. You ask your colleague. She says “Oh, it’s because of Qinming Festival”. That doesn’t tell you much. Being completely clueless (which is written all over your face) as to the identity of mentioned Festival you’re asking for more elaborated explanation. With the help of your friend and ,of course, irreplaceable uncle Google, you’ve managed to reveal the mystery. |
