The qipao, literally ‘Manchu robe', was generally referred to as the cheongsam in Hong Kong, meaning ‘long dress'. This one-pieced dress was highly fashionable between the 1930s and 1970s.

Hong Kong Museum of History and Hong Kong Arts Centre collaborate to present an exhibition "Hong Kong Cheongsam Story" near Gate 22 at the Airport. The exhibition focuses on how the tradition of the women's cheongsam continues to develop in Hong Kong and gradually inspires new creations. Meanwhile, it underscores the city's contribution to preserving, perpetuating and promoting the craftsmanship of cheongsam. Featuring the exquisite handicrafts of cheongsam tailors with a display of the tools they use and the elegant dresses they make, visitors can appreciate the extricated tailoring skills in cheongsam-making and learn more about its cultural significance in.
