Chinese Singaporeans still follow traditional rituals to sweep graves, mostly Minnan rituals. During their stay in Tomb-Sweeping Day, Chinese Singaporeans often travel with their families, and their relatives and friends will invite them to join them. One or two pickup trucks were full of them to go to the grave, and most of them sacrificed to the land god first. Then put wine, fruit and flowers in front of relatives' graves, light incense sticks, press tomb paper, burn paper money, kowtow, and finally eat wine, meat and fruit on the spot and go home. Generally, five animals are prepared for ancestor worship, among which clams, crabs, chickens and ducks are essential. After the worship, the clams are peeled and eaten on the spot, and then thrown to the grave, indicating that future generations have come to visit the grave.

Returning to China to search for ancestors and worship ancestors is an upward trend of Chinese in Singapore in the past 20 years. Before Tomb-Sweeping Day, Chinese Singaporeans from Hainan often asked each other in their hometown dialect when they met: "Are you going back to your hometown (hometown) in Qingming?"
