糖葫芦, pronounced "tánghúlu," is a traditional Chinese snack made of fruits, typically hawthorn berries, skewered on a stick and coated in a layer of hardened sugar syrup. This treat is often found at street markets and festivals, where it is popular among both children and adults. The sweet and slightly tangy flavor of the fruit contrasts with the crunchy sugar coating, making it a delightful snack. The origins of 糖葫芦 date back to the Song Dynasty, and it has since become a symbol of Chinese street food culture. While hawthorn berries are the most common fruit used, variations can include grapes, strawberries, and even cherries. The bright red color and shiny appearance make 糖葫芦 visually appealing, attracting many to try this delicious treat.
