A man making candy sugar lollipops, stands almost every day
at the entrance to Fuxing Park. I have seen him there many times but really
never paid much attention to him. As I exited the park one day during Qingming
Festival holiday a crowd had gathered around him. The Chinese are very curious
and will stop and look if something catches there eye.
The man had families lined up with their kids waiting for lollipop. Next to his marble slab are pictures of the Chinese zodiac and other
images, you pay 10Yaun ($1.75) spin the spinner and where the arrow lands is
what shape he makes for you. He was quite the craftsman's making very elaborate
lollipops. Here are some of the pictures I took.
