When is the best time to visit graves during the Qingming Festival in 2018? Qingming Festival is an important festival for worshipping ancestors.

2018 Qingming Festival Tomb Sweeping Time

The Qingming Festival in 2018 is on April 5th. This year's Qingming Festival holiday time is April 5th to April 7th. There is a saying among the people: "Early Qingming Festival, late 11th Night", which means that tomb sweeping on Qingming Festival can start one or two weeks before Qingming Festival. Some places also believe that the best time to sweep tombs is the two days before Qingming Festival, as sweeping tombs during these two days is the most effective. However, most people may only have time to visit the graves during the Qingming Festival holiday, so we must check the best time for visiting the graves on that day in advance, which is generally between 8 am and 3 pm. According to Feng Shui, you should not visit graves after 5 o'clock, as the negative energy at this time will become heavier, which is not conducive to your physical and mental health. And from a practical point of view, it is not very safe to go to the mountains to sweep the graves too late.
