SocietyTraditional South China glutinous rice cakes grow into a rural business
Ligao glutinous rice cakes from Liuzhou, Guangxi, have grown from a household snack into a local industry and agritourism souvenir. Tenth-generation craft inheritor Zhong Huiqun teaches the skill to her daughter and nearby villagers, whose participation in making and selling the cakes has helped raise incomes. District officials say they will strengthen heritage protection and link the craft with rural industries.
