Tianmen’s Figures Made From Sugar
Tianmen sugar sculpture turns heated sugar into animals, figures and ceremonial forms, joining skilled handwork to local celebration.
Tianmen is one of Hubei’s province-administered county-level cities. The memory of Lu Yu and the Classic of Tea, Shijiahe’s prehistoric remains and Tianmen sugar sculpture are distinct local subjects. Its river-plain setting connects it geographically with nearby cities without making their foods, crafts or archaeological sites interchangeable.
