The Cheung Chau Bun Festival is arguably one of Hong Kong's most unique festivals, where thousands of locals and tourists gather on the island to celebrate traditional festivities such as the Piu Sik parade and Bun Scrambling competition.
This year, the event kicks off with a Climbing Carnival on May 10, where the public is invited to enjoy fun activities including stall games, handicraft workshops, a variety of performances, climbing demonstrations, and more. Then, on May 24 and 25, 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 and stuff as many of them in their bag as possible. Yes, it's as weird and exciting as it sounds. Don't miss the chance to experience this unique piece of cultural heritage that's been celebrated for over a century!
