[Chinese Hanfu Experience] Recommended Spots for Chinese Hanfu Snap Shoots & Emotional Photographs

🌆Another Era Encountered in the Alleyways

When you visit Chengdu, delicious food is the first thing that comes to mind.

But there's an experience that's become increasingly popular among local youth these days: Hanfu (汉服).

Kuanzhaixiangzi (宽窄巷子), a series of red lanterns and gray brick alleys, offers the most classic atmosphere in the city.

In this article, we've compiled information on Hanfu rentals in Chengdu, tips for taking great photos, and even a relaxing route afterward.

👗How to Rent Hanfu in Chengdu

Chengdu has numerous Hanfu rental shops, but Siqi Hanfu Experience Center (拾七汉服体验馆) stands out for its ambiance and service.

They have an indoor studio, and you can even take your photos right out onto the street.

- Price Range: 150-280 CNY (Additional hair and makeup for around 100 CNY)
- Includes: Costume, hair accessories, fans, accessories, and other accessories
- Recommended Style: Ming Dynasty-style hanfu has a beautiful silhouette thanks to its round collar and wide skirt.

💡TIP: Visit before 9 a.m. to capture the tranquil atmosphere of the quiet alleys.

📸 Top 3 Hanfu Photo Spots in Chengdu

1. Kuanzani Alley (宽窄巷子) — The highlight is the sunset when the red lanterns are lit.
2. Wenshuyuan (文殊院) — The shadows cast by the bamboo and traditional pillars.
3. Taikoo Village (太古里) — The contrast between traditional costumes and modern architecture is captivating.

📷 Photography Tips:
- Yellow or pink hanfu looks warm against a brick background.
- Stand slightly to the side and hold a fan at your fingertips to create naturally flowing lines.

🍵 Enjoy a cup of tea after the experience

Walking through the alleyways, you'll find small teahouses scattered throughout.

One of them, Jinqing Lao Tea House (金琴老茶馆), plays quiet, classical music, and sitting in hanfu feels like a scene from a movie.

In that space, where the subtle scent of tea wafts, it feels as if time has stopped.

"A breath of antiquity has passed through the modern alley."
