Xunpu traditional dresses on the streets of Quanzhou, China

Many of the ladies visiting Quanzhou would venture to don on the colourful dresses and flower head gears you are seeing below. This traditional dressing style actually came from a fishing village, Xunpu, about 3 or 4 kilometers away from West Street. In the village, even grannies put on the head gear, though of a smaller scale. 

In West Street, Quanzhou, many shops have set up to provide this service, renting out head gears, dresses and makeup services to transform he visitors into a fantasy like existence, like living in another world and time. The whole package could include a photographer accompanied. The beautiful ladies were mostly from other parts of China.

All the pics were taken in the compound of Kai Yuan Temple, West Street and lanes nearby.
