A souvenir shop in the popular Houhai tourist area of Beijing has recently become quite famous because it is selling products with the image of U.S. President Barack Obama's face imprinted over that of China's late leader Mao Zedong, CCTV.com reports.

The shop has sold thousands of products bearing the Oba Mao design since stocks arrived just over a month ago, Liu said.
