To promote traditional Chinese culture and create an atmosphere for learning about the culture on campus and in the local community, the University of Macau (UM) Centre for Chinese History and Culture hosts the 2nd Festival of Chinese Culture.  In response to this festival, UM Moon Chun Memorial College organized “Experiencing Exquisite Elegance: Cheongsam Experiential Workshop” to promote the appreciation and perservation of Chinese traditional culture.

Qipao, also known as cheongsam, is a quintessential traditional Chinese clothing style renowned for its gracefulness and exquisite design. MCM College is delighted to have invited Ms Ka Ying Maggie Chan, Macau Cultural Ambassador, as the speaker on the topic. She provided insights on how to properly wear the qipao, delved into its historical background, and explored different design styles, enabling participants to develop a deeper understanding of Chinese clothing culture in an accessible and straightforward manner. This experience not only enhanced their aesthetic sensibilities but also elevated their self-confidence.

In collaboration with Qiyuan Limited, the workshop also offered participants the opportunity to try on different qipao costumes and explore various hairstyling designs. This created a social platform where participants could immerse themselves in the transformative power of elegance, confidence, and beauty provided by qipao, further enriching their Chinese cultural experience.
