Shaanxi resident Wang Puzhan has turned the art of making steamed buns into literal art.

The 55-year-old makes steamed buns for festivals and special occasions. But these aren't your average baozi — they've got many different colors and patterns and can cost as much as RMB120!

It typically takes Wang a whole day — including one hour of steaming — to put together these truly spectacular creations, which are known as "Huazhou patterened steamed buns." The craft has over 3,000 years of history in Wang's hometown of Weinan in Shaanxi province.
