Many grave sweepers headed to cemeteries to mark the Ching Ming Festival.

Drizzle set the scene for the solemn occasion.

In a cemetery in Diamond Hill, residents, both old and young and most with family members, wiped the tombstones, burned incense and placed flowers at the graves of their ancestors.

The Transport Department expects heavy traffic near various cemeteries across the city.

Special traffic arrangements are implemented, including road closures.

Members of the public are advised to plan their trips early and allow extra travel time.
