Hanfu Fashion Show - Wanlin Dance Academy
Han Chinese clothing, an age-old tradition dating back 4,000 years, represents the rich heritage of the Han people. Traditionally, the hanfu featured a robe or shirt as the upper garment, complemented by a pleated silk skirt as the lower garment. The revival of Hanfu isn't just about clothing; it's a revival of the distinct ideology, culture, art, and aesthetics of the Han nation through its unique dress system.
Join us for an extraordinary show that offers a chance to engage with this timeless tradition. Step into the world of traditional clothing, create new memories, and forge connections with a heritage that spans millennia.
