Dragon's beard candy (simplified Chinese:龙须糖; traditional Chinese:龍鬚糖)or Chinese cotton candy is a handmade traditional art of China. It is also a traditional Chinese sweet similar to floss halva or cotton candy, which can be found in many Chinese communities. Dragon's beard candy was initially created in China, but soon spread in popularity and became a regional delicacy in other parts of East Asia such as Korea, as well as (and more recently) Canada, Turkey, Singapore, and the United States.
