The weather becomes warm at this time, and the nature turns very beautiful: trees turn green, all kinds of flowers come out, and the air is very fresh. On this day, many people will go to sweep tombs to remember their dead family members. It is also a great time for families to go spring outing to enjoy the warm sunshine and nice views outside.
