It is often said that no one can leave Zibo empty-handed. This reputation rests not only on the sizzling, lively allure of Zibo barbecue, but also on the local handmade treasures that carry the cultural legacy of the ancient Qi state and the ingenuity of its craftspeople.

　　The glazed MOLLY figurine has brought Zibo's handicrafts into the global spotlight — yet it is only a glimpse of the city's rich artisan heritage. Liuli, soft clay figurines, silk, inner painting, straw weaving, cuju… every one of these crafts carries its own distinctive cultural warmth from the land of Qi.

　　Zibo soft clay is a municipal-level intangible cultural heritage. Rooted in traditional local clay-sculpting techniques, each piece is shaped entirely by hand through kneading, pinching, rolling, and pressing, then solidified at low temperature to become water-resistant and durable. The signature piece "Ma Biaobiao" earned the silver award at the National Tourism Souvenirs Competition, injecting youthful energy into this age-old heritage.

　　With a history spanning more than two thousand years, Zhoucun silk once bore witness to the splendor of the Silk Road during the Han and Tang dynasties. From delicately elegant scarves to vividly expressive silk brocade paintings, every thread carries the city's profound memories — making them a perfect choice for gifting to friends or keeping as cherished mementos.
