Hangzhou baozi chain warmly welcomed in Boston (2)

People stand on line for the offerings of Hangzhou-based Gan Qi Shi's first overseas baozi shop, in Harvard Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts in October, 2016. Tong Qihua, founder of the 200-store chain, is planning to expand "even to the West Coast", he said, "and we may franchise". The US chain adopted the English name of Tom's BaoBao. A fist-sized baozi costs about $3. The bamboo steamers were made of bamboo from the Yangtze River Delta region and the flour shipped from China. (Photo: China News Service/ Liao Pan)
