Getting married? Pick a tradition

A unique wedding show was staged at a hotel in Lanzhou, Gansu province, on Sunday, featuring traditional Chinese clothing and rituals.

Initiated by the Lanzhou culture and tourism department, the show presented a combination of cultures — modern and traditional — attracting about 100 couples.

The show allowed the audience to appreciate the unique charms of guochao, a style whose popularity is trending upward among young people in domestic brands and products that incorporate traditional Chinese elements, organizers said.

Besides the dresses, traditional rituals of Chinese weddings were also staged at the event.
