I?m going to Beijing and Xi'an in May. A friend asked if I could bring back a cool Chinese sword like the ones in the movie.

I don't ever remember seeing one. Anyone who know where they might be sold? And if it?s better for me to get them in Xi'an or Beijing?

There are many markets in Beijing. I remember seeing some swords south of Hepingmen in the Liulichang market areas. But I cannot honestly speak for their quality or workmanship.

In Xi'an, your best bet is to walk the Muslim Quarter just north of the Drum Tower. There are a few small streets the make a maze in the M.Q.

There are lots of shops selling novelties, swords and knives among them. But once again, I cannot speak for their quality.
