Top 3 Hanfu Rental Shops in Wuzhen: Dress Like Royalty!
Visiting Wuzhen and not renting a Hanfu is like going to the beach and not swimming! I was hesitant at first, worried I'd end up looking like a bad cosplay, but as soon as I put one on, I instantly felt like a royal concubine. The mirror reflected a beautiful woman with an elegant updo, a flowing silk dress, and a silk fan in hand. My demeanor became more refined, and my steps felt lighter. The wind gently swaying my clothes made me feel like I had stepped out of an ancient drama. How could anyone resist this?
1. Qing Wu
- Location: Near Visitor Center No. 1
This shop's advantage is its location outside the scenic area, meaning you can rent clothes without buying a ticket to the ancient town. Qing Wu has a huge selection of Hanfu, from delicate and elegant styles to grand and princess-like looks. The fabrics are smooth, and the fit is flattering, giving you that "young lady from a bygone era" feeling. The rental price is around 250 yuan, including makeup and hairstyling.
The biggest plus is convenience. After renting, you can immediately find a nearby street corner in the ancient town to take photos without waiting to enter the scenic area. But if you want a more beautiful, dreamy, and magical backdrop, you should still visit the central area!
2. Lán Shān Gé
- Location: No. 7, Changfeng Road
If you prefer authentic, non-modernized Hanfu, this place is the best. The dresses here are meticulously sewn with high-quality fabrics and exquisite embroidery, making you feel like you've traveled back to ancient times.
But the highlight of Lán Shān Gé is their divine makeup service. They don't just apply makeup; they know how to choose the right tones to match each outfit and face. Whether you want a gentle or a sharp look, they can deliver. After the makeup, you'll be looking in the mirror saying, "Wait, is that me? Why am I so beautiful?"
The only downside is that it's very popular and gets crowded. Many beautiful outfits are rented out early, so if you want the best selection, book in advance.
3. Zhīchūn Guó Fēng Hànfú
- Location: Near West Side
This place focuses on a "full service" experience from A to Z. They pay attention to every detail, from selecting the dress to styling the hair and applying makeup. In particular, their hairstyles are very secure, and the hairpins and updos stay put all day long.
The biggest strength of this shop is their top-notch makeup. They not only apply beautiful makeup but also know how to highlight each person's unique charm. Whether you want a gentle, poetic look or a sharp, palace drama female lead vibe, they can handle it all. The rental price is around 299 – 399 yuan, slightly higher than the average, but worth every penny.
