10 traditional foods that make Beijing's winter merrier

Persimmon is a typical winter fruit in China's capital city. In the past, people often froze mature persimmons to keep them in storage. By putting the persimmons in slightly warm water to let the ice thaw, the flesh inside would become soft and sweet making them a delicious snack for any occasion. Persimmon trees are still easy to find in Beijing. When matured, the fruits hanging on the trees look like red lanterns. [Photo/IC]
