Harbin's bustling streets come alive in winter with the irresistible allure of candied fruit skewers. This traditional Chinese treat incorporates an array of fruits from strawberries and pineapples to figs and grapes, coated in a glossy, crunchy sugar shell. Whether you prefer the classic tartness of hawthorn or the exotic juiciness of tropical fruit, there's a skewer to satisfy every craving. The frosty winter air adds to the charm, as the icy coating hardens quickly, enhancing the crunch with every bite.
