Steamed buns are a traditional snack in China. They are made from soft dough and are filled with ingredients like sweet red bean or lotus seed paste, pork, meat, or vegetables, and are steam cooked.

At a bun shop in Shandong Province’s Qingdao City, workers are forming brightly colored doughs into different shapes and animals like tigers, peaches, or sycees which represent imperial China’s gold currency.
