The second category:

Traditional tourist souvenirs. That is, the tourist souvenirs that have become deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Such products are no different from the business cards of tourist areas, such as Beijing roast duck, replicas of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses in Xi'an, etc.

Industrialized tourist souvenirs. That is, they have been produced and are on the market but have not been treated or sold as tourist souvenirs. Most of these products are products used daily by residents in tourist areas or across the country. They have local characteristics and culture and have unique commemorative significance. At the same time, many of these products are only sold locally. For example, postcards with local characteristics, yogurt in porcelain jars from Beijing, bee flower sandalwood soap from Shanghai, etc.

Pre-industrialized tourist souvenirs. That is, brand-new tourist souvenirs. There are many types of such products in different shapes, but they are mostly produced by "small workshops" and lack a complete industrial chain. For example, personalized image travel souvenirs, Shanghai advertising posters during the Republic of China, etc.
