Spring Festival Market in Qingdao --- Tangqiu Hui

【What is Tangqiu】

For many Chinese people, attending "Tangqiu Hui" comes second only to the family reunion activety during the Spring Festival.

Mentioning to "Tangqiu", some of our students said, for a long time, they were not able to figure our what kind of fruit they were eating. Most of people said hawthorn berries but hawthorn berries in the US are smaller and no-one eats them. Someone else suggested crab-apples, but crab-apples are much larger than the marble size fruit. Turns out that if you eat a traditional tangqiu (and not one of the kiwi, strawberry, tomato, or orange ones, though they are equally delicious) you are actually eating Crataegus Pinnatifida also known as the Chinese Haw.
