Linyi's flower steamed buns see booming sales ahead of Spring Festival

Craftspeople prepare freshly made festive steamed buns at a traditional steamed bun workshop in Linyi City, east China's Shandong Province, Feb 4. As the Spring Festival approaches, Linyi's floral steamed buns—a form of intangible cultural heritage—have entered their peak sales season. These artistically shaped buns, ranging from designs like a "galloping horse" symbolizing prosperity, traditional lion dance motifs, and "Happy New Year" blessings, to cartoon-style ponies, all radiate festive joy and carry the rich essence of Chinese Lunar New Year celebrations.
