Chuxiong Yongren Saizhuang Festival

Costume Festival is a fashion show for Yi girls, and there are costume festivals in two places in Yizhou, Chuxiong. One is the clothing festival in Zhiju village, Yongren county, which is held on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year. One is the Saizhuang Festival in Santai Township, Dayao County, which is held on March 28th every year.

Fashion Festival provides an opportunity for young men and women who live in scattered places and have little chance to get together and get to know each other. The most attractive thing for girls is to see whose clothes are the most beautiful. Yi women's dresses rely entirely on handmade peach blossoms and embroidery, and it often takes one or two years to make a suit. Therefore, whoever has more clothes and good patterns will be regarded as hardworking, capable and ingenious.
