The Chinese city of Xi'an has issued two new transportation cards inspired by cultural relics. One is made in the shape of a tiger tally, while the other looks like a jade pendant. In ancient China, tiger tally was the symbol of military power, and kings gave them to generals when they appointed them as army leaders. The cards can be used in more than 200 cities in China.
