At the recently-held Baotou branch venue of China Tourism Day, the final list for the 2022 Baotou cultural and tourism commodity souvenir selection was announced. It included 14 products from the city.

Souvenirs are meant to demonstrate local characteristics and represent a city's image.

Since the selection campaign was launched in Baotou, it has received strong support from the city's cultural and tourism enterprises. A total of 112 cultural and tourism companies and studios signed up for the event, collecting more than 300 cultural, creative and food products.

After the products were collected, displayed, and evaluated by professionals, two second prizes, three third prizes and nine finalists were determined.

The selected products include specialty foods, cultural and creative products, and more. They are selected by an expert review team based on their locality, etiquette, practicality, design, brand, originality and popularity.

The products will be authorized to use the "Baotou companion gift" image identification logo, receive support and subsidies from special funds for urban tourism, and be recommended for various cultural and tourism expositions and commodity competitions across the country.
