Chengdu provides the tourist with a number of convenient shopping opportunities, offering a wide range of Chinese and Tibet-stye "souvenir items" from traditional Chengdu (Shu) brocades and embroidery to art objects (mostly replicas, some antique), and Tibetan-style and more traditional Chinese ornaments and souvenirs. Brocades – usually silk brocades – are one of the most popular "souvenir items" among tourists, as they are not only quintessentially Chinese, but also have high intrinsic value. The age-old brocade style developed over the aeons in the Chengdu area is the Shu brocade style. The Shu brocade style is one of the four justly famous brocade styles of China, the other three being Hunan, Cantonese and Su brocade styles.

Popular art objects include: silk prints with literary-, landscape- and calligraphic motifs; bamboo and ivory carvings; porcelain; and jade. Popular ornaments include Tibetan-style jewelry items such as highly colorful beaded bracelets and necklaces (sometimes also worn as a head adornment), tassels and more traditional jewelry such as earrings, pendants and bracelets made of precious metals such as gold, silver and copper. Souvenir items range from postcards and key-ring trinkets to the aforementioned art objects such as wood and ivory carvings, etc.Read More »
