Description: For centuries, people in parts of East Asia have burnt paper objects for the dead. These include model houses, clothes, and anything else that might be useful in the afterlife. The tradition is still alive in Taiwan, and as the country commemorates the dead during the Tomb Sweeping Festival on Wednesday, TaiwanPlus takes a closer look at this craft.
