換裝體驗的好所在 / Awesome places for dress-up experiences

我記得早些年，人們去日本旅遊時，多會選擇租借日式和服，換裝走在日本巷弄，好好體驗一番日式風情，不論是在景點留影或是自拍，都留下難得的回憶，上次，去廈門時，我在中山路上也看到有些換裝自拍館，館內有提供各式服裝，讓人暢遊在自拍館的古風場景、中式宮廷或復古街區等搭建出來的場景，打扮成不一樣的自己，好好地自拍，過癮一下。

近幾年，類似的自拍館似乎越來越多了，聽說有些瘋動漫的玩家，還會特地裝扮成喜愛的動漫角色，出席此類動漫盛典，前一陣子，有位朋友發現在迪化老街的遊客中心，有個提供換裝體驗服務的地方，需要事先預約，到該處，可以依據服飾與個人適合的尺寸，選擇一款喜歡的服飾及配件，在館內的復古佈景拍攝，因為它是免費的，所以相當熱門，朋友剛好有預約到，我就跟過去看看，是怎樣的體驗。

其實，我身邊有不少女生朋友，還沒有穿過旗袍，在外面的攝影工作室的旗袍體驗方案，可能要上千元台幣，所以，當他們知道有這樣免費的地方，非常踴躍地投入體驗，裡面有客安中藥行、春生喫茶店、永樂燈苑、稻江公學校等幾個復古場景，我覺得復古場景的作工非常精美，且場景算大的，有點網紅店的感覺，甚至於勝過那些不怎麼樣的網紅店。

看著朋友們，在各個場景擺放各種姿勢，而我們專門的攝影師，則是捕抓每個人的最完美的瞬間，其實，沒有租借到服裝的，這裡可自由入內拍照，只是在這樣復古的場景，穿上適合的服裝拍攝，會更有感覺，館內的永樂燈苑內有各種顏色的燈籠高掛，暖色的燈光打下來，有點日式風情，但又有點農曆節慶時熱鬧的氛圍，也是最多人駐足的場景，當然，穿中式旗袍或中山裝，還在在中式復古場景拍照，更有感覺，和朋友在玩鬧中度過三個小時的體驗時間，很多朋友都覺得體驗時間太短，您們覺得呢

You know, back in the day, when people traveled to Japan, they'd often rent those Japanese kimonos, dress up, and wander around the little streets, really soaking in the Japanese vibe. Whether it was snapping pics at landmarks or just taking selfies, it was all about making those special memories. And then, just the other day, when I was in Xiamen, I saw these dress-up selfie studios on Zhongshan Road. They had all sorts of outfits, letting you dive into these cool themed sets – like old-school Chinese courtyards or retro street scenes – and just have a blast taking photos, you know, dressing up as someone else for a change.

Seems like these selfie studios have been popping up everywhere lately. I heard some hardcore anime fans even dress up as their favorite characters for these anime events. And just recently, a friend of mine found this place in the Dihua Street visitor center that offers free dress-up experiences. You gotta book ahead, but once you're in, you can pick out an outfit and accessories that fit you, and then take photos in their retro-style setups. Since it's free, it's super popular. My friend managed to snag a reservation, so I tagged along to see what it was all about.

Honestly, a lot of my girlfriends have never worn a cheongsam before. And those cheongsam photo sessions at regular studios can cost a fortune, like thousands of NT dollars. So when they heard about this free place, they were all over it. They've got a few cool backdrops, like a traditional Chinese medicine shop, a tea house, a lantern shop, and an old schoolhouse. I gotta say, the sets are super well-made, and they're pretty big too. It's almost like one of those trendy influencer spots, maybe even better than some of them.

Watching my friends strike all sorts of poses in those settings, and having a photographer capture their best angles, it was a blast. Even if you don't rent an outfit, you can still go in and take photos. But honestly, dressing up in those retro clothes just makes the whole experience so much better. The lantern shop, with all its colorful lanterns and warm lighting, had this mix of Japanese and festive Chinese New Year vibes, and it was definitely the most popular spot. Of course, wearing a cheongsam or a Zhongshan suit and posing in those Chinese retro settings just felt so right. We spent three hours there, just laughing and having a great time. A lot of my friends thought the time flew by too fast. What do you guys think?
