Qingming - Qingtuan

April 4 was Qingming Festival or Tomb Sweeping Day. The traditional food for Qingming is qingtuan and we have eaten our way through several packages of these tasty green dumplings with red bean paste inside.

And here's the view from our apartment window earlier this evening.

Not sure where to get in Shanghai, but one store at Guan Qian Jie, Suzhou, people usually line up to buy freshly made qing tuan every early morning. :)

Safe trip back!
