During the Spring Festival holiday, many people donned traditional outfits like the cheongsam, which first became popular in 1920s Shanghai. The name "cheongsam," which means "long clothes" in Cantonese, became even more famous in Hong Kong in the 1960s. With its signature high collar and knee-high slit, this classic dress is still a go-to for special occasions for many. While the art of cheongsam-making may be fading, a new wave of designers is giving it a fresh twist, hoping to recapture its timeless allure.
