Tibetan clothes are mainly traditional Tibetan clothes, which are characterized by long sleeves, wide waist and large chest. Women wear long-sleeved robes in winter and sleeveless robes in summer, with shirts of various colors and patterns inside and an apron with colorful patterns in front of their waist. Tibetan compatriots especially like Hada and regard it as the most precious gift. Hada is a snow-white fabric, generally about 20 to 30 centimeters wide and about 1 to 2 meters long.

Manchu costumes are divided into flag dresses and mandarin jackets. When it comes to flag dress, people often think of women. In fact, the flag dress is a very representative dress of Manchu, and its wearing is not limited to women. Flag dress, because it is a kind of robe worn by "flag bearer" (Manchu is also called flag bearer), was later called flag dress. Mandarin jacket is a kind of coat that Manchu men often wear when riding horses. In order to ride a horse conveniently, a short robe covering the four sides of the navel is put outside the robe to keep out the cold. Nowadays, many small cotton-padded jackets worn by Manchu people evolved from mandarin jackets.

Miao people are widely distributed and have many branches. There are obvious regional differences in clothing. Typical dresses for women are tops and pleated skirts.

The silver ornaments on the head, neck, chest and hands are the most common ornaments, and the silver ornaments of Miao nationality are second to none among all ethnic jewelry. The colorful costume culture fully shows the intelligence of the Miao people, and still maintains its own national characteristics.

The traditional national costume of Uighurs is "Yu Yi", with embroidered shirts, diagonal collars and buttons. Yu Yi is knee-length and wears a belt outside. Because of the cold weather in northern Xinjiang, coats often have buttons, while women like to wear colorful dresses and often wear embroidered vests outside. Both men and women like to wear embroidered hats and boots. Uighurs like to choose pure wool, cotton, silk and leather as the materials of this kind of clothes, while women like brightly colored clothes and decorate them with earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces and other accessories.

The sleeves of children's coats are made of colorful "seven-color satin", just like a rainbow flowing on the body. Women's clothes are short skirts and long skirts, which Koreans call "Ze" and "Ma Qi". I like to choose yellow, white and pink fabrics. Korean shoes, from clogs and sandals to sandals and Ma Xie, to modern men's wide rectangular rubber shoes and women's pointed boat rubber shoes, are unique.
