Known as Happy Doll Pears, these Buddha baby shaped pears were invented by a Chinese farmer. A special plastic mould is placed around the fruit while it is still maturing on the tree. The pears grow to fill the mould and the shape is formed.
Consumers are going crazy for the bizarre shaped fruit that is sold in local supermarkets and even online. It is often given as a gift for the upcoming Lunar New Year in the two countries.
The cute looking fruit is grown in inside the mould of a laughing Buddha, shaping them into the tiny figurines.
Ever since they were created by a man named Gao Xianzhang seven years ago, they have been sold across different regions in China.
Gao spent six years perfecting the intricate baby-shaped pears, carefully crafting each one.
