    On the east coast of Taiwan sits a seaside shop that shapes these intricate stone carvings of honorable ancient figures that are waiting to be purchased and displayed in temples, tombs or private homes. Views[126] The ever-busy Longshan temple prepares food such as pomelo, rice and moon cakes to be shared with the long-passed ancestors so they aren't left hungry in the afterlife. It is not uncommon to see this ritual outside of residential homes and businesses. Views[117] The alluring scent of incense is never too far when wandering through the streets and mountains of Taiwan. This is a reminder of the honorable culture that exists within Taiwan. Views[108] Taiwan celebrates the Tomb Sweeping Festival each year in April. On this day, families gather together to clean around the tombs of their ancestors. A huge evening feast follows the yearly ritual.
