📍 Qingming Shanghe Tu Scenic Area, Hengdian World Studios, Zhejiang Province, China
✨ The Qingming Shanghe Tu area brings to life the famous painting “Along the River During the Qingming Festival,” recreating the bustling streets, teahouses, and river scenes of Song Dynasty China with stunning detail.
✨ Renting a Hanfu here is part of the fun—once dressed in flowing robes and elegant accessories, you instantly feel like you’ve stepped into ancient times. The scenery, with arched bridges and red lanterns, makes every corner photo-worthy.
✨ You can stroll along the riverside markets, watch traditional performances, and even pose for portraits with props like fans, umbrellas, or calligraphy brushes—it’s immersive and playful all at once.
✨ The area is well-staffed with costume rental shops, many of which offer hairstyling and quick makeovers to match your outfit. There are styles for all ages and tastes, from noble court looks to casual streetwear of the era.
✨ Aim to visit in the late afternoon when the sunlight casts a warm glow on the wooden buildings and canal. It’s a great time to snap photos, enjoy the ambiance, and truly feel part of a living painting.
