The participants were deeply impressed by the charm of Chinese traditional garments. Liu also shared the special costume culture of some ethnic minorities, giving the participants a better understanding of China's diverse culture.

After the explanation, with the help of CI teachers, the on-site students actively selected their favourite costumes and changed into ancient styles. The students couldn't hide their love for the wide variety of Hanfu and asked for photos after dressing up, saying they were very happy to have the opportunity to experience traditional Chinese culture in their spare time.
