Mmm yumm. I loved this stuff when I lived in Beijing,
and they were really common too. A lot of vendors wander around selling them. It's basically just a candied fruits kebab, traditionally hawthorn (shan zha), that's really popular in northern China. Anyways, so I went back last year and spent two days searching for them, only to be informed that they weren't sold on the streets anymore in the summer because it's too hot and they were melting or something. :( They do sell them in stores though, but it's just not the same. Look how delicious it looks in all of its unpackaged glory. And then compare it to the processed ones. They added a whole bunch of sugar and whatnot.
