The story of the qipao is the story of Chinese women’s pursuit of beauty and freedom, and of a society stepping from tradition into the modern age.
For more than a decade, Qifengtang has shared that story across the San Francisco Bay Area through exhibitions, workshops, lectures and the annual Qipao Culture Month.
