Become a Tang-dynasty prince or princess for a day in Luoyang, China's undisputed hanfu dress-up capital. Rent an elaborate traditional robe with professional hair styling and makeup (packages typically run about US$15-40), then stroll the lantern-lit streets of Luoyi Ancient City or pose beneath the illuminated Yingtian Gate for a photoshoot among hundreds of fellow hanfu wearers. The Zhengzhou-Luoyang region is among the fastest-growing in foreign search interest in 2026 thanks to these 'princess for a day' experiences, and the activity pairs perfectly with a visit to the nearby Longmen Grottoes.
