SINGAPORE - If you are in Chinatown this weekend, you may come across people wearing silky robes or elaborate hairpieces.
While they look like they could be extras from a Chinese period drama, they are actually participants of Chinatown's inaugural Hanfu Festival. Hanfu refers to traditional clothing worn by the Han Chinese.
