Chinese beauties in 'qipao' bring Shanghai style to rail stations

Dozens of Chinese women wearing qipao, a formfitting Chinese dress, were seen at the high-speed railway station in Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, on Tuesday, transporting passengers back to Shanghai in the 1920s.

They are performers from Back to the Bund, a new project from the tourism performing arts group Show of Thousands.

By performing and interacting with passengers, they provide an immersive theater experience to audiences.

According to the team, the project, which helps support Shanghai in becoming Asia's entertainment capital, will eventually be staged for audiences in Shanghai in 2020.
