China: A variety of souvenirs for sale in Fenghuang's narrow streets, Fenghuang, Hunan Province. Fenghuang is Chinese for Phoenix and refers to the mythical sacred firebird that can be found in the mythologies of the Persians, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Chinese, and (according to Sanchuniathon) the Phoenicians. Legend suggests that two phoenixes on discovering the town hovered overhead for some considerable time before reluctantly flying away.
