With a lineage stretching back millennia, Huaxia's culture is deeply ingrained in Hanfu, its historical attire. Today, Hanfu continues to captivate hearts because of its timeless elegance. Temple Mall, always promotes cultural heritage, is launching “A Date with Hanfu” from 8 July to 27 August. Hanfu research groups from both Hong Kong and Mainland China have collaborated to bring the exquisite Hanfu culture to life at the Mall. With the support of professional restoration teams, Hanfu's cultural significance will be rediscovered with the fusion of refined textile artisanship and meticulous pattern restoration. The Mall will also host a nostalgic “Journey Through Ancient Times” photo spot, a bustling summer Hanfu market, and the annual Global Hanfu Model Competition, promising to showcase Huaxia’s captivating charm.

In a pioneering collaboration, Temple Mall has orchestrated a symphony of Hanfu-themed activities with Link CentralWalk in Shenzhen. Bringing together  Hanfu communities from Guangdong and Hong Kong, Link CentralWalk will host a Hanfu market and parade in Shenzhen on 8 and 9 July, while Temple Mall will present a cornucopia of Hanfu activities from 8 July to 27 August. In celebration of the event, both venues are offering visitors limited-time gifts and exclusive merchant discounts.

Restored Hanfu Exhibition and Recreating Historical Icons

Temple Mall is collaborating with The Chinese Ensemble Reproduction Group (CERG) and the Chinese Culture And Hanfu Hong Kong Association to showcase three rare, historically significant restored Hanfu pieces. An exquisite Tang Dynasty Dunhuang Donor Attire, a Tang Dynasty Lady's Straight-Collar Hand-Painted Floral Long Skirt, and a unique Han Dynasty embroidered Quju unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha will be on display. The Mall is also partnering with the Hong Kong Hanfu Group - Danqing Hanfu, to meticulously recreate the Hanfu attire of eight illustrious figures from Chinese history. Among them are China's Four Beauties - Wang Zhaojun, Yang Guifei, Xi Shi, and Diaochan; strategic maestros Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang from the Three Kingdoms, etc.

An immersive journey through past and present with photo spots and workshops

A visually striking “Journey Through Ancient Times” interactive zone has been created on the first and second floors of Temple Mall North. There are miniature bridges, serene waterways, historic ships, and classic Chinese courtyards to explore. In the “Hanfu House”, visitors can don free Hanfu attire and take stunning photos. During the weekends, the Mall is alive with ancient-style workshops and traditional games. Visitors can create their own classical sachets or bring ancient fans to life with qualifying purchases. A variety of Chinese music performances and demonstrations of the art of sugar crafting will further enhance your experience on select days.
