Street vendors are creating various styles of blown-sugar figurines for children on a street in Bijie City, Guizhou Province. This traditional snack has been growing in popularity thanks to its sweet taste, vivid shapes and intricate designs. The artisans heat the syrup to a certain temperature and knead it into a ball with an open center, pinch the open area and stretch it to form a tube, and then blow air into the ball from the tube while forming the sugar ball into different shapes. This traditional folk art has been listed as a national intangible cultural heritage.
