In the context where the impact of the pandemic has not yet been completely eradicated, to ensure the safe and orderly conduct of the Han Fu outing day activities, the Han Fu associations and university clubs in Harbin have made significant efforts. It is understood that the Han Fu organizations participating in this Han Fu parade include Gu Shi Yue Han Culture, Si He Fang • Zao Wu Ban, Liu Chou Han Fu Experience Hall, You Yu Han Culture Studio, Jin Yi Qin Jun Du Zhi Hui Shi Si, Han Ying Media • Qian Hua Su Yi Han Fu Experience Hall, etc., as well as college students and Han Fu enthusiasts from major universities in Harbin. Among the nearly 200 people, what was most surprising was that there were also mothers with their babies participating in this event, symbolizing the inheritance and continuation of traditional culture.

No matter in winter or summer, the busiest place in Harbin must be Central Street. Even in temperatures below minus ten degrees, it… show all
In recent years, Harbin's homestay accommodations have developed rapidly. On the Meituan Homestay platform, the number of listings has reached tens of thousands, doubling compared to last year, with functionality also achieving “leapfrog” changes. According to the reporter's investigation, Harbin's homestays focus on the overall design of the rooms, emphasize the inherent functions of the rooms, and strive to meet the social needs of young people. Homestays are no longer just limited to “accommodation,” but rather a place where people can spend more time within the room, allowing guests to not only stay in a homestay but also “tour” a homestay.
Xiao Han opened a Han Fu themed cafe in the Daowai Zhonghua Baroque Block. She introduced that the earliest Han Fu shops in Harbin appeared in 2008. Currently, there are approximately three business models: One is physical Han Fu stores, mainly renting and selling Han Fu. Another is photography self-portrait studios, where experience halls provide venues and costumes, allowing experiencers to wear Han Fu, apply makeup, and take photos in an ancient style environment, which is very suitable for those who are shy about wearing Han Fu out. The third type is Han Fu themed cafes, cake shops, or pubs. Here, Han Fu can be seen, worn, photographed, and even gathered in, providing a comprehensive traditional cultural experience.
Tong Pao is the mutual name used by Han Fu promoters, derived from the “Shijing · Qin Feng · Wu Yi” “Who says there is no clothing, I share my coat with you.” It is used to express mutual support and joint efforts to revive and promote Han Fu. Compared to the promotion level in some cities in the south, “Han Fu” is still in its nascent stage in Harbin. However, the frequent and meticulously planned “Han Fu shows,” the emergence of Han Fu experience halls, and the increasing number of promoters confidently wearing Han Fu on the streets are objective manifestations of the gradual trendiness of these traditional cultural promotion activities in Harbin.
The owner of a Han Fu hall in Haixi Jinchao Wanxiang, “AMYlinn Orange,” told reporters that apart from selling and taking photos, they also organize Han Fu fashion shows and national style band performances irregularly. Small niche professions such as Han Fu models and Han Fu designers have emerged. “He Li Han” has gained some fame in Harbin's Han Fu circle. This Harbin girl, tall and slender with willowy eyebrows and phoenix eyes, excels at “Dream of the Red Chamber” attire. She frequently designs Han Fu herself, and now has 200,000 followers on Weibo.
“The number of tourists from our province has increased significantly compared to last year, and people from surrounding counties and cities who come to play in Harbin also like to stay in homestays.” Xiao Yang said. In addition to tourists from nearby cities in the province, even local Harbin residents come to stay in homestays. Xiao Yang told reporters that when the homestays reopened, she hosted a family of three from Harbin, with a child around six or seven years old. They stayed in a room with a slide and ball pool. Xiao Yang learned that the child particularly wanted to play with the balls. At that time, there were few places open for children to play, so the parents considered minimizing gatherings and booked this room, staying and playing in the homestay. Xiao Li from the “Xinghe Rumei” homestay also felt that although the number of tourists from other provinces decreased this year, the number of local tourists increased compared to previous years. “This year, the proportion of local tourists exceeded 70%, with more locals gathering in homestays and more people from surrounding counties and cities coming to Harbin for exams.” Xiao Li said that the order volume in October and November this year was significantly better than the same period last year, with particularly high local demand. According to Meituan data, from the perspective of guest source distribution, over 53% of the homestay bookings in Harbin are local orders. The top five sources of guests within the province are Daqing, Suihua, Qiqihar, Jiamusi, and Mudanjiang; the top five sources of guests outside the province are Changchun, Beijing, Shenyang, Tianjin, and Shanghai.

In 2019, Zhou Chen and Su Lu jointly established the Liu Chou Han Culture Experience Hall, one of the earliest Han Fu experience halls founded in Harbin. “Liu Chou” has organized, planned, and participated in many public welfare Han Fu cultural activities, having long-term cooperation with major shopping malls, with a fan WeChat group of 2,000 people, and nearly 8,000 fans and 220,000 likes on the Douyin platform. As southerners, Zhou Chen and Su Lu mentioned the reason for choosing to open an experience hall in Harbin: “At that time, we felt that fewer people in Harbin knew about Han Fu, thinking that the market would be broader and could influence more people, making this cause more meaningful. For example, after organizing events, many people got to know Han Fu and its cultural significance behind it, which gave us a great sense of accomplishment.”
