Traditional Chinese Clothing
Three main types of traditional Chinese clothing are:
1.The Pien Fu
2.The Chang Pao
3.The Shenyi

7. 7
The Pien Fu
The Pien Fu was the most popular Chinese dress by far. It was a
two piece outfit that contains a tunic that goes down to your knees.
Underneath the tunic they wore a skirt that goes down to their
ankles. But the Pien Fu would not be the Pien Fu with out the
Pien, a cylinder shaped hat. This is a very unique costume that
was kept for special ceremonies.

8. 8
The Chang Pao
The simplest of all traditional Chinese clothing. In its essence
the Chang Pao dress was a fusion of the Sheni and the Pien
Fu. It was a one piece suit that started from the height of the
shoulders and extended down to the wearer’s ankles.

9. 9
The Shenyi
The Shenyi is a modification of the Pien Fu. It consists of exactly
the same things as the Pien Fu but the unique thing about this
dress is that both pieces are stitched together. So it look like on
very long suit-dress.

Chinese Wedding
In China the color red is considered to symbolize
good luck. The color is also believed to keep away
evil spirits. It’s therefore no surprise that traditional
Chinese wedding outfits almost always feature the
color red.

The Great Wall of China is one of the greatest sights in the world. It's an
ancient defensive architecture. The "Long Wall" has a long history — more than
2,300 years. It was built in different areas by different states/dynasties to
protect different territorial borders.
The entire Great Wall of China zigzags across the mountains of northern
China. We highly recommend hiking along the best-protected sections of the
Great Wall: Mutianyu , Mutianyu and Jinshanling.

The Forbidden City: 9999 Rooms for 24 Emperors
The Forbidden City (or the Palace Museum) is one of the must-
visit attractions for travelers to China. It used to be an imperial
palace in the Ming (1368–1644) and Qing (1644–1911)
dynasties.
The layout of this palace is strictly according to
Chinese fengshui theory. China’s best-preserved imperial palace
is the world’s largest ancient palatial structure (7.2 ha. or 17.8
ac.), the essence and culmination of traditional Chinese
architectural accomplishment.
