In Southwest China's Chongqing municipality, a night market has been drawing consumers since the New Year's Eve with its unique intangible cultural heritage demonstrations and products.
Zhong Kui, a sugar painter, quickly scooped up a spoonful of malt syrup from the pot. As he moved the spoon around, the steaming syrup poured down onto an iron plate, forming a beautiful pattern.
"I used to sell sugar paintings in the street by shouting out loud, but now I don't have to. More and more people have been drawn to traditional cultures such as sugar painting," Zhong said. "I no longer worry about sales."
