Can I visit the grave during the Chinese New Year?

Yes.

Visiting graves is one of China’s traditional customs, usually during the Qingming period, also known as ancestor worship. In many places, there is also the custom of visiting graves on the first day of the Lunar New Year, such as Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places. In addition, in areas with relatively well-preserved customs, people visit their graves on the afternoon of New Year's Eve. In some areas where this custom is relatively well-preserved, incense and candle offerings are placed in front of ancestors' graves, which means they respectfully invite ancestors from all generations to come home to celebrate the New Year. And on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you should bring offerings of money and paper to send your ancestors back to the cemetery to worship and say goodbye.

Whether you can visit graves during the Chinese New Year depends on the customs of various places. During the process of visiting graves, you should pay attention to completely extinguishing burning objects to avoid causing fires.
