Shaolin Souvenirs

Vendors hawking all manner of wares can be found near the schools outside the temple and in the temple itself.A large parking lot near the Forest of Pagodas features standsselling everything from incense for prayer and postcards to sinister swords and kitschy statuettes.Vendors are eager to make a sale，so any kind of bargaining ability will serve visitors well.

Yellow River mud（huanghe chengniyon）are gracefully shaped and make interesting souvenirs.Rub a white tissue against the stone；if the tissue remains white then it’s genuine.Shaolin swords will definitely be an attention grabber if you take one home.They can be found at the Shaolin Sword Factory（shaolin jianching zhinxidobi）at 1/F，Scientific Technique Committee，middle section of Songyang Lu Dengfeng.
