More than 30 women wearing hanfu joined in the needlework competition in Taiyuan before Qixi, Chinese Valentine's Day which falls on August 13, 2013. In ancient times, women on Qixi gather to show their needlework and see who is the most diligent, so the festival is also called Qiqiao Festival in Chinese. Qiqiao means hoping to be diligent.[Photo/CFP]
