Description of Our Community: Dadaocheng is located in Datong District, Taipei City. Many stores had been around in Dadaocheng in the first year of Xianfeng (1851), and started Dadaocheng 's business activities. After the opening of Tamsui harbor in 1860, Dadaocheng became the most prosperous collection and distribution center in Taipei. The main trades are tea and cloth. After that, under Japanese rule, Japanese businessmen boycotted foreign companies and turned to Japan and Southeast Asia as their main markets. After the war, Dadaocheng gradually lost its function as a river harbor due to the aggradation in Tamsui River, and Taipei downtown was gradually developed and moved to the eastern part of Taipei city. Dadaocheng became an old traditional district outskirt of Taipei.

Project Description: "Qipao" is an indispensable cultural and artistic product in the process of evolution in China. Every time in some important ceremonies and evening gala, we can see people wearing it which is very stunning, so every event can have brilliant ending. "Dadaocheng ", the first impression people will think of is the cloth trade. Because cloth is easy to obtain, many famous qipao designers settle down here. This time we are going to interview the famous store----Yufeng qipao, and we vocational students are curious about how to make such a traditional and distinctive qipao which can attract many people to find a master to customize and we also want to know the original intention of making qipao, and understand the origin and inheritance of qipao more deeply. The research way of making this project is to browse the webpage to search for relevant information, and to understand marketing strategy and theory of business. By visiting and interviewing the boss of Yufeng qipao, we can have more understanding for its theory to run a business, and experience the unique characteristic of qipao in person.
