Sugar-coated haws on a stick

Price: 5-15 yuan per stick

Sugar-coated haws on a stick (tanghulu) have a sweet-‘n-sour taste to them and are another extremely popular traditional snack. The delicacy, with a history dating back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279), often reminds Chinese adults of their childhood. Apart from the most often used haws, various fruits -- Chinese yams, cherry tomatoes, mandarin oranges, strawberries and kiwifruit -- are also known to be used for the yummy tanghulu.
