As Qingming Festival, also known as Tomb Sweeping Day, draws near, the Yichang Municipal Funeral Administration Office and the Yichang Public Transport Group Co., have launched a special bus service jointly for tomb sweepers to Yaowan Cemetery in Xiling District on four weekend days (March 23-24, 30-31), the Municipal Funeral Administration Office said.

　　The bus route this year starts from the Gangyao Road & Zhuhai Road stop at Jingdongshan Small Commodities Market to the Yichang Funeral Parlor. Operating hours are 8:30 to 11:00 am, 1:00 to 4:00 pm, with every 30 minutes a bus. As traffic congestion is expected on the site during the peak period, people are encouraged to use public transport. (Reporter/Shi Gang, Correspondent/Xiong Jingyu)
