Pick the right size from a range of authentic Hanfu styles, from elegant Ming dynasty outfits to flowing Tang dynasty dresses. The garments feature classic patterns and comfortable fabrics, suitable both for photos and for wearing inside the palace. Sizes are available for all body types, and costumes are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected after every use.

Extra retouched photos, premium costumes and extended shooting time can be added separately if you wish.
