The Cheung Chau Bun Festival originally started as a celebration of the end of a plague on Cheng Chau. Nowadays, it has transformed into one of Hong Kong's most famous festivals, where hundreds and thousands would flock to the island to celebrate.
This year, the event kicks off with a Climbing Carnival on April 27, where the public is invited to enjoy fun activities, including stall games, handicraft workshops, a variety of performances, a Bun Towner Climbing Fun Day, and more. Then, on May 5 and 6, the finale of the iconic Bun Scrambling Competition will take place, where participants must climb giant bamboo towers covered with buns while trying to grab as many buns as possible. Don't miss the chance to see this unique piece of cultural heritage that's been celebrated for over a century!
