Twenty couples turned back the clock in style this week, exchanging vows during a dazzling traditional Chinese group wedding ceremony in Shanghai! The event, part of a local tourism festival, transformed an ancient water town into a living postcard of cultural heritage.
Dressed in vibrant hanfu wedding robes straight out of a historical drama , the couples participated in time-honored rituals like tea ceremonies and ancestral blessings. Cheers erupted as families tied red strings around the newlyweds’ wrists—a symbolic gesture of lifelong connection.
The streets buzzed with drum performances and floating lanterns, creating the perfect fusion of ancient romance and modern community spirit. One participant told NewspaperAmigo: 'It felt like stepping into a fairy tale while writing our real-life love story!'
