more than 80 shops related to Hanfu experience

Xi’an is becoming one of the most suitable cities for Hanfu experience in China. This quaint city has also derived a Hanfu experience industry chain: from clothing to makeup, and photography, you can “return to Chang’an” for just a few hundred yuan.

Xi’an, as the ancient capital of the thirteen dynasties, itself contains the beauty of Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang cultures. A large number of Tang-like attractions have shaped the Hanfu experience scene, resulting in a series of related services.

Currently, Xi’an has more than 80 shops related to Hanfu experience.

In fact, although the Hanfu revival movement has been around for nearly 20 years, the real popularity of Hanfu comes from the promotion of hit dramas, such as “Langya Bang”, “Sansheng Sanshi Shili Peach Blossom“, “Do you know whether it should be green, fat, red, thin” The domineering screens of film and television dramas such as “Hanfu” have created a trend for young people to wear Hanfu.

At the same time, driven by platforms such as Douyin, Station B, Kuaishou, Weibo, etc., the rental and sale of costumes from related dynasties have been driven to form business opportunities.

According to the owner of the Hanfu experience store, for example, during the TV series “Qingpingle”, Song Dynasty clothing was more popular. Last year’s popular “Chang’an Twelve Hours” also made Tang clothing popular. In Xi’an, you can see many Hanfu experience stores recommending the character “Tanqizhuang” in the play.

After collecting many comments, the praise for the Hanfu experience mainly focused on “like”, “fun”, “beauty in taking pictures” and “ancient style“. And some experiencers also gave negative reviews, mainly because they think that wearing Hanfu is too cumbersome and walking on the street is too exaggerated. At the same time, Hanfu often has problems such as poor quality, airtightness, and poor elasticity.

Girls love Hanfu more

It is quite common to walk around the streets of Xi’an and meet three or more young women wearing Hanfu.

Tmall data also shows that social occasions such as the company’s annual meeting and CosPlay have further promoted consumers’ willingness to purchase Hanfu
