[K-Geography] Tidying up tombs ahead of holiday

A worker operates a lawn mower to tidy up a tomb at a national cemetery in the southwestern city of Gwangju on Sept. 8, 2021, ahead of Chuseok -- the major Korean harvest festival, which falls on Sept. 21 this year. Mowing grass around ancestors' tombs is part of Koreans' preparations for the observation of Chuseok. The Gwangju May 18 National Cemetery honors hundreds of citizens who were killed in the city during protests against the military junta of Chun Doo-hwan in May 1980. (Yonhap)
