Cheung Chau Bun Festival
The Cheung Chau Bun Festival is an annual celebration held on Cheung Chau Island in Hong Kong. It usually takes place in late April or early May and lasts for several days. The festival is famous for its colorful parades, traditional lion dances, and the iconic bun towers, which are made of steamed buns stacked high.
One of the main highlights of the festival is the Bun Scrambling Competition, where participants race to climb bun towers to collect as many buns as possible. The event has deep cultural significance, originally intended to appease the spirits and ensure a good harvest. Today, it attracts many visitors and showcases local traditions.
