Gaily-colored scarves, exotic quadrangle caps, folk-patterned earrings, colored ribbons and dazzling temporary face tattoos will be in fashion for spectators cheering on China during the Beijing Olympics.

All kinds of creative and distinctive ornaments with Olympic and Chinese cultural designs are becoming popular among enthusiastic fans and adding to the joyful atmosphere in Beijing.

Stick-on tattoos with patriotic patterns can be pasted on any part of the body. One netizen called Si Tu has noted that compared with face painting, stick-on tattoos are more hygienic and convenient, but equally bright-colored and striking.

Many private cars will also be decorated with patriotic designs. Some people have been suggesting that every car in Beijing should be decked out with stickers in both English and Chinese.

These stickers, which were used to reflect the unity of China after the devastating Wenchuan earthquake, will continue to reflect the patriotic sentiments of the Chinese people during the Olympics. Some car clubs have decided to provide their members with 0.5 yuan stickers for free.

National flags and T-shirts printed with a Chinese map or slogans like "I Love China!" have become best-sellers. Over 1,000 online stores have prepared large numbers of flags for the upcoming Beijing leg of the torch relay and the Games.

T-shirts printed with Olympic logos or patriotic designs have been given a prominent position by many salespeople. According to one salesperson, Olympic T-shirts costing 7.9 yuan will certainly be sold out before Aug 6, when the Olympic torch begins its three-day trip in Beijing.

Olympic logos and national flags have become fashionable elements in young girls' ornaments, such as earrings, necklaces and rings. Walking into some stores in the Xidan business area, you'll find plenty of decorations with distinctive Olympic and national features. These commodities range in price from 10 to 20 yuan. A small electric fan with Beijing opera mask figures attract the attention of many youngsters. When you turn on the fan, you will see through the rotating fan the Chinese characters "Welcome to Beijing."

"We plan to sell some temporary stick-on tattoos, small national flags and T-shirts along the route of the torch relay in Beijing," said a student surnamed Zhang, from Beijing Union University. He added that he would cheer for China in this way as they were unable to join the ranks of volunteers.
