Hanfu Experience in Hangzhou: Hand Crafts, Outfit Rental & Hutong Walk

Sale price$848.00

Hanfu in Hangzhou

The first way we recognize a person is often through their clothes — a reflection of character and taste. The same is true for cultures: clothing is a living language that tells stories across generations.

In this Hanfu experience, you’ll go beyond costume rentals and photo ops. Start with a hands-on weaving activity to feel the craft behind the fabric, then meet genuine Hanfu lovers who share not only history but also their own perspectives on the revival of Chinese dress.

From cultural debates to personal stories, every conversation is different — and together you’ll explore a Hanfu store, try outfits, and capture memories that reveal how fashion connects people with heritage.

The Routes

Your Hanfu journey begins from the West Lake, where you’ll step into a small craft shop. Here, you’ll get hands-on with traditional DIY activities — making embroidered sachets, hairpins, or tie-dye pieces — to build a first connection with Chinese clothing culture. (If only time allowed, we’d even try making a full Hanfu set ourselves!)

Next, you’ll head to a Hanfu boutique tucked in the old city. With the guidance of your local friend, you’ll choose and rent an outfit, learn about the cultural stories behind it, and of course — capture beautiful photos in these timeless clothes as part of your memory of Hangzhou.
