Chefs make baozi (steamed buns with stuffing) at Dahualou Baozi Restaurant in Nantong, East China’s Jiangsu province, on Jan 24. Orders for various kinds of steamed buns are currently flooding into the restaurant as Chinese New Year draws near. In traditional Chinese culture, people make steamed buns to bring prosperity and progress in the new year. But, as living standards have risen, more people are buying ready-made buns, although in rural areas, it is still common to find people doing things the old fashioned way. [Photo/IC]
