Locals meet chrysanthemum price hike for festival

A customer is choosing yellow chrysanthemum, photo from Lhasa Evening.

As the Chinese Qing Ming Festival is approaching, prices of chrysanthemum, white or yellow, have risen, sources from flower markets in Lhasa. According to a manager of a flower shop, flowers sell well currently as people pay tribute with flowers instead of burning incense, firecracker or paper made to resemble money.

Note: Chinese Qing Ming Festival is a traditional Chinese festival widely practised, when families pay tribute to their ancestors and tend to graves.
