Dress well and enjoy. Graveyards will be crowded as families pay their respects to the ancestors. They clean up the grave and make traditional offerings. This is seen as a happy time, not a day of mourning. Pagodas and temples will light up with paper lanterns, incense, and other decorations.
Processions take place after dark.
Included in this group are those who are buried in unknown locations. Because so many Vietnamese soldiers were buried in mass unmarked graves, many families are personally involved with this holiday. Moon cakes and lotus seeds also figure prominently.
