Cloths
During the Qing dynasty (1644–1912), the local Hong Kong population wore the same garments, made of silk or cotton, as the rest of the Han Chinese (ethnic Chinese majority) mainlanders. The changshan, or long gowns, for men. Women wore the ao, a knee-length dress styled like the changshan, with a full-length skirt consisting of front and back panels with pleats or godets (cloth inserts) at the sides to allow movement.
·         The fashion in Hong Kong reflects the fashion in China. So the Chinese traditional dresses are very popular among the people in Hong Kong.
·         There are three types of traditional Chinese dresses and these are the pien-fu, the ch'ang-p'ao, and the shen-i.
