Chinese New Year is the longest and the most important festival in the Lunar Calendar and also the happiest festival for the Chinese...

The Chinese are very concern about the celebration of Chinese New Year especially the regional customes and traditions...

They willingly pour out money for their presents, decoration, material, food, and clothing during this precious festival...

As i mentiones in my previous post...

Cheongsam and Changshan are the traditional clothing which praised as the Symbol of Chinese clothing in the contemporary international clothes...

Now , we present you our pre-celebration of Chinese New Year with the symbol of Chinese's clothing!!!! CHEONGSAM & CHANGSHAN !!!! ~*
