@pennystot the actual day is Monday but Chinese celebrate up to 10 days before and up to 10 days after. Lots of burning token money, paper clothes, food offerings to ancestors department for use on there journey.
also the shrine is cleaned at this time. Very different from Christian cemeteries

those old cemeteries are a world unto themselves.
