During the Beijing Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, foreign visitors have not only been attract- ed by the sport events, but also by rich Chinese culture. An elegant part of this cul-ture is the Chinese qipao, the national dress for women in China, now also becoming popular in the West, something evidenced by Anne Rogge, wife of Jacques Rogge, President of the International Olympic Committee, who was seen in a red qipao at the opening ceremony of the Games on August 8.
