Former dressmaker tailors steam buns for the Year of Pig

Zhao crafts a steamed bun in the shape of a pig on Monday, January 14, 2019 at her store in Binzhou, Shandong Province. Zhao Xiaoping, a woman from Binzhou in Shandong Province, used to own a dress shop. But she swapped her scissors for a rolling pin and opened a steamed bun shop last year. Her passion for traditional handicrafts can be seen in the designs of her steamed buns, which come in creative shapes such as flowers and animals. [Photo: VCG]
