Sugar-coated haws on a stick
Date: 1988
Location: Qianmen Watchtower
Among well-known Beijing snacks, bingtanghulu (sugar-coated haws on a stick) is probably the most famous, a city trademark.
For children living in the 1980s in Beijing, when there were no McDonald's or KFCs, bingtanghulu was their favorite snack. Now, a bite of bingtanghulu brings reminiscence and nostalgia.
