A two-day Hanfu cultural festival opened that day. Eighteen Hanfu “Tongpao” (which literally means wearing the same type of gown as a symbol of comradeship) groups and organizations, and thousands of Hanfu lovers from across the country participated. They shared the charm of traditional culture, and brought tourists a pleasant journey of “Guochao”, the resurgence of traditional style and cultural elements. Colorful performances including a Hanfu show, traditional rituals of archery, and traditional martial arts were staged during the festival.
