Sugar painting 

Sugar painting is a time-honored traditional folk art. It’s an extremely tough job to make beautiful sugar paintings, because it requires a perfect match between how long the sugar should be cooked, and the skills of painting and removing the works from the table. If you move a little too slowly, the sugar will solidify and you cannot paint; if you move a little too quickly, excessive sugar will drop on the painting; if you are not very careful when removing the work from the table, the delicate artwork could be destroyed. Due to the complexity and delicacy of these skills, very few people in Hong Kong have mastered the skills. When the audience has an opportunity to appreciate the craftsmanship, they stop and take a look.
