A large number of young women are dressed in Hanfu ancient costumes, wearing Zanhuawei, taking pictures on ancient bridges, ancient streets, and in front of ancient houses. Obviously, Zanhuawei has been popular from Xunpu, Fujian to Hangzhou. If you haven't taken a Zanhuawei yet, you're out! "Blooming", "Bright and moving", "Smiling like a flower" and other words have always been used to describe the outstanding appearance of women. Zanhuawei, at first, was only very popular in Xunpu ancient village in Fujian. At the beginning of 2023, Zhao Liying's Zanhuawei style became popular, and this popularity also ignited the Xunpu women's culture. Zhao Liying's Zanhuawei style is a very successful set of styles last year, which has ignited the development of cultural tourism and intangible cultural heritage. Now, Zanhuawei has become popular in Hangzhou. In the Xiaohe Straight Street historical block in Hangzhou, many businesses provide Hanfu rental services and Zanhuawei wearing rental services. Little sisters who come to Hangzhou for tourism must come here to play, it is very characteristic. Taking a set of beautiful Zanhuawei photos is the most memorable youth. If you need to shoot, you can call me. The Xiaohe Straight Street historical block has many small shops, snacks, fun, rental costumes and flower hairpins, cafes, noodle shops, etc., it is worth a visit, even if you don't take pictures here, you can also stroll leisurely for an afternoon, various small shops are dazzling, full of atmosphere.

Hangzhou has a literary and artistic district that is perfect for spending an afternoon alone

After arriving in Hangzhou, don't just stick to the citywalk by the West Lake, head straight to Xiaohe Straight Street. Whether it's sunny or rainy, it's very chill~ There are many sisters with hairpins on the street, which blend in well with this street. If you want to experience it, you should go early. Basically, you can finish strolling in about 2~3 hours. I had dinner at 'Viting Xunwei Jiangnan' on Xiaohe Straight Street, recommended to me by a local friend from Hangzhou. The environment is quite nice, great for taking photos, suitable for gatherings with friends and family dinners. Their Danshan dipping water green mango and lime jelly orange were my first try, very appetizing, and the presentation is exquisite~

Hangzhou's Xiaohe Straight Street has already been conquered by hairpin shops!!!

💫 I remember the old Xiaohe Straight Street was very suitable for a stroll after dinner or on weekends, a quiet place to have a tea. It was less crowded and had little commercial atmosphere, which made it a favorite spot of mine. I recall it was around October 1, 2022, when Xiaohe Park opened, and then it slowly started to gain popularity as various platforms began to recommend it. The place quickly became bustling with people. It seems that in the second half of 2023, around November, I went for a walk with my daughter after dinner and noticed a few hairpin shops had opened up. Then, like bamboo shoots after a rain, they rapidly increased to 10, 20... I heard there are now about 35 shops. Now, if you go there on a weekend, it's really crowded with people everywhere. There are people taking photos of the hairpins, and also of Yanji clothing. As many netizens have said, the hairpins are beautiful, everyone likes them, and they are indeed pretty, but I always feel that they don't quite fit with Hangzhou's style. Even if Hangzhou were to embrace hairpin fashion, perhaps it could consider adopting Song dynasty-style hairpins.

Hangzhou | Spend a leisurely day at Xiaohe Straight Street for Goddess Festival

Now, there are many new hairpin shops opened, or perhaps, it's a place where elegance and vulgarity are appreciated together! I dare not come on weekends, too many people, haha! 🌟 Highlights: The old street in Hangzhou with the strongest Lijiang-style atmosphere 🚉 Transportation Tips: Cars can be parked at Xiaohe Park parking lot 📝 Note Tips: The restaurants don't offer many main dishes, more like light meals and afternoon tea

Stroll down Xiaohe Straight Street to experience the hustle and bustle of a popular check-in spot

Seven years ago, when I was still in Hangzhou, I often wandered around Xiaohe Straight Street. Back then, the original residents, in groups of twos and threes, would either sit idly in front of their houses or hang things out to dry, with a few handcraft shops (like Xia Mo Homemade), and grocery stores exuding a fresh and artistic vibe. Wandering in the rain felt particularly refreshing. Unexpectedly, seven years later, this place has become a hotspot for internet celebrities. Hairpins, Hanfu, coffee shops, riverside tea rooms, snacks... The street is bustling with noise, and there are photo opportunities everywhere, making it suitable for young ladies to rent a set of Hanfu and walk around taking pictures. Sitting in a tea room and looking at the river view opposite, one can really feel the charm of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. It's quite nice.

Hangzhou - Xiaohe Straight Street

It's been a long time since I've been to Hangzhou. This year, I took advantage of the fewer people before the New Year to take a stroll. It was my first time to Xiaohe Straight Street, which is known as the 'Little Kyoto'. There were really a lot of people on the few small streets, probably because it was the weekend I found a coffee shop by the river to sit down. It seemed to be a popular online spot. Luckily, there was a spot by the river. I enjoyed the long-lost winter sunshine, drank coffee, and watched people at other tables boiling tea around the stove. It was nice, but I had just finished lunch and was too full, so I had to give up 🌟Casually strolling around is quite nice. I saw many young girls taking pictures as 'Zan Flower Women'. Isn't this from the Minnan region? Why is it everywhere in Hangzhou
