Joyful atmosphere fills the day of the event.

A cool Harley aficionado, dressed as a cowboy, is a shrewd trader by day, encouraging almost every passer-by to have a ride on his 30,000-yuan Harley-style-inspired bicycle.

A teenage girl, with her pet Corgi in the bicycle basket, patiently stands and poses for photographers. But the person who attracts the most attention is the owner of a famous vintage shop in town, who made his public debut in the green uniforms of 1950s' China.

Xin Han, who dresses to look like Elvis Presley, says he decided to imitate the king of rock'n' roll because he wanted to try something unusual.

"I am not a big fan of Presley, in fact, but I love the looks of his time, and I have never tried that look before," he says, adding that while studying in the United States, dressing up in weird costumes was a monthly activity he did with his wife, who dons a polka-dot skirt.
