Bras and cosmetics have been added to the "traditional" paper offerings of villas, cars and wines for Qingming Festival, or Tomb-Sweeping Day, which falls on Monday.
"The 18-yuan ($2.6) bra and a cosmetics set, which costs 28 yuan, are new products this year. The cosmetics set includes foundation, perfume, lipstick, facial cleansing cream, lotion and shampoo," the woman owner of a store on Guangxiao Road told prospective buyers on Thursday.
"And no bargaining for the new products," said the owner, who gave only her surname, Peng.
She said business at her store has been brisk for the past week and the new products attracted some young buyers.
"Just about 30 minutes ago, a young man purchased two bras and a cosmetics set," Peng told China Daily.
The man, in his 30s, said he would burn the paper offerings at his wife's tomb on Monday.
His wife, who was killed in a traffic accident two years ago, was fashion-conscious, he said.
