    • Being an old town with hills, there are many Chinese cemetries in Taiping.

    Many Chinese families thus in early April during "Qing Ming" or "Cheng Beng" go on an annual pilgrimage to Taiping to visit their ancestors tombs.

    Offerings of paper are burnt for the deceased. Modern versions include mobile phone, credit card, passport, DVD player, money made from paper.

     Really enjoyed this page SL. Pedal a boat around Yaiping Lake sounds so relaxing.. Lots to do like Taiping Zoo and Museum. What do you mean by - "how prisoners are canned"? Just curious!
