What it is
CHIPAO is a well-known qipao rental studio located just outside Jiufen's main pedestrian strip, easily reached on foot from the Old Street bus stop. Guests choose from a wide selection of long or short cheongsam styles in sizes ranging from S to 5XL (children's sizes available for heights 80–140 cm), and receive a complete outfit: embroidered shoes, a retro clutch bag, and vintage hair accessories. Basic hairstyling assistance is provided on-site. Once dressed, you're free to explore Jiufen's iconic scenery — the red-lantern-draped stairways of Shengping Road, the teahouse terraces overlooking the sea, and the moody stone alleys of the Old Street — for the full rental period. Men can rent Mandarin-collar shirts, kung fu jackets, or ma gua (traditional Chinese men's robes). Luggage storage is offered so you can roam freely without carrying bags.
Highlights
- Full cheongsam outfit included — rental covers a long or short qipao in silk-look fabric, embroidered shoes, vintage clutch bag, and retro hair accessories for a complete period look
- Sizes S to 5XL plus children's — one of the broadest size ranges available, making this suitable for solo travelers, couples, families, and group friends
- Men's and children's options — men can choose kung fu jackets, Mandarin-collar shirts, or ma gua robes; children's costumes available for kids aged roughly 2–8
- All-day rental with luggage storage — take your time wandering Jiufen without rushing; the store holds your bags while you explore
- Red-lantern alley photo backdrops — the Shengping Road stone staircase lined with red lanterns is steps away, offering some of the most photogenic scenery in Taiwan for qipao portraits
- Iconic teahouse scenery nearby — Amei Teahouse and other hillside tea houses overlooking the harbor serve as atmospheric backdrops reminiscent of classic Taiwan cinema
Good to know
- Typical duration is around 3–5 hours of free exploration; rental is usually charged by the day (return before closing), so arriving in the morning gives you the most time
- Operating hours are typically 11:00–19:00; CHIPAO is generally closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays, plus one additional day per month — check ahead before visiting
- Getting there: take Bus 1062 from Taipei's Zhongxiao Fuxing MRT station or from Ruifang Train Station; alight at the Jiufen Old Street stop and walk about 5 minutes across the road to find CHIPAO at around No. 34 Automobile Road (汽車路34號)

- How long can I rent the qipao for, and do I need to return it the same day?
