The story

Shenyang Cheongsam Culture Festival in Shenyang

A cheongsam-focused culture festival staged in Shenyang, built around a public urban parade of qipao-clad models, a design exhibition and competition, and a closing awards ceremony, with the Qing-dynasty Mukden Palace serving as its symbolic backdrop and a broader qipao culture season now running for months each year.

More than 1,200 models once opened this festival at Shenyang's Mukden Palace, the Qing dynasty imperial residence, in a single show of qipao cut in embroidered silk, painted panels and traditional emblems.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The festival bills itself as China's first dedicated cheongsam culture festival, staged against the backdrop of Mukden Palace, a Qing-dynasty imperial residence that no fashion week in a purpose-built venue can replicate

02

The mystery stays covered

Its urban cheongsam city show turns ordinary streets into a runway for qipao rather than confining the garment to a stage, and the China Customized Cheongsam Art Awards give the event a competitive design dimension beyond simple display

03

The city starts moving

The later expansion into a multi-month qipao culture season, folding in over a hundred linked commercial and cultural events, is unusual for a costume-focused festival of this size
