Bingtang Hulu -- a popular
snack in Beijing in winter

Bingtang Hulu, or crystalline sugar-coated haws on a stick, do not
require much promotion among young sweet-lovers in Beijing, despite the
increasing competition from new generation snack foods like potato chips,
popcorn and chocolate.
About 20 centimeters long, bright red in color with a perfect
sweet-and-sour taste, Bingtang Hulu is a much-loved traditional confection in the
capital city.
