Hong Kong’s quirkiest tradition is back – the Cheung Chau Bun Festival, where the famous bun scrambling competition and Piu Sik parade turn this sleepy island into a unique spectacle. Want to experience it all yourself? Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of it. What is the Cheung Chau Bun Festival? Also known as the Cheung Chau Jiao Festival, the Cheung Chau Bun Festival is one of Hong Kong’s most beloved and unusual traditions.  According to legends, Cheung Chau was struck by a devastating plague during the late Qing dynasty. To dispel the disaster, islanders gathered to pray to Pak Tai, a Taoist deity, to help drive away the disease and evil spirits. Deity statues were also paraded along village lanes, while buns were offered to appease the gods and spirits. The plague eventually subsided, and since then, residents have been expressing their gratitude to Pak Tai for bringing peace and safety to the island. Over time, these rituals evolved into the lively festival that we see today. In 2011, this unique local festival was inscribed onto the third national list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.   When is the Cheung Chau Bun Festival? The Cheung Chau Bun Festival occurs on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, coinciding with the celebration of the Buddha's Birthday in Hong Kong. For 2025, that day lands on May 5. The Piu Sik parade will occur on the same day in the afternoon, while the bun scrambling competition will take place later at night. Photograph:

If you’re planning to catch the sky-high spectacle, here’s your go-to guide for avoiding the crowds, snagging the best views, and making the most of the night. When and Where: 2025 Wan Chai drone show The show kicks off at 8pm on May 1 over Victoria Harbour near the Wan Chai Temporary Promenade. The performance will last around 12 minutes and is completely free to watch – but be sure to arrive early to find a prime spot as the place will fill up fast.  Best spots to watch the drone show in Hong Kong Since the drone show will be held at the Wan Chai harbourfront area, the best places to view the show will be the Wan Chai Temporary Promenade and HarbourChill. You can also try your luck further down by Wan Chai Ferry Pier or the Golden Bauhinia Square, but do note that certain areas will be closed off or have limited visibility affected by angles. How to get there There are several ways in which you can easily get to the Wan Chai harbourfront area: MTR: Get off at the Exhibition Centre MTR station and take exit A2. Follow the signs and walk for a few minutes via the footbridge to get to the harbourfront. Ferry: Opt for a more scenic route and take the Star Ferry from the Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier. Bus: Citybus routes 720 and 788 will get you nearby, but make sure to check Citybus’ website for any Labour D

Hong Kong has no shortage of yakiniku spots, but this newcomer is already sitting high up on our list. Sitting on Wyndham Street among the chaos of the LKF area, Yakiniku Sho brings something different to the table. It's a straightforward Japanese-Korean barbecue joint where quality Wagyu meets the soulful flavours of Korean home cooking – all at prices that won't make your wallet weep. Photograph: Jenny Leung The restaurant offers two omakase-style sets featuring the finest A5-grade Japanese Black Wagyu and a selection of rare cuts based on what's available each day. The $490 'Don't Think Yasu' set offers six premium cuts that might include anything from velvety Misuji shoulder to wine-marinated Hokkaido pork ribs, while the $790 'Don't Think Sho' adds premium touches with additions like Wagyu tartare and Hokkaido scallops draped in salmon roe. Everything's grilled right at your table – no fuss, just good meat cooked properly. Photograph: Courtesy Yakiniku Sho What makes Yakiniku Sho different from the rest is the Korean dishes that are anything but some half-hearted fusion gimmick. Recipes were passed down from the owner’s mother, including the homemade kimchi (fermented for three years), spicy tofu hotpot that comes bubbling to your table, and traditional Korean-style steamed egg stuffed with crab meat. They've also got a decent range of sake with pairings chosen to complement both the rich beef and the bolder Korean flavours. While the sets are the stars, à la carte o

K-drama Friendly Rivalry has just dropped on Netflix, and if you've been hooked on this gripping mystery thriller like we have, then you're already familiar with Oh Woori's standout performance as the sharp and ambitious Choi Kyung. Fresh off the drama’s success, the 28-year-old actress is already back on screens with the newly premiered supernatural romance Way Back Love. We caught up with Oh Woori to talk about her experience while filming Friendly Rivalry, her favourite behind-the-scenes moments, and what fans can expect from her latest role. What made you decide to audition for this role? Was it the script, the original webtoon, or the opportunity to work with certain actors? At the time of the audition, I didn’t know exactly which project it was for. However, I had read the original webtoon, and I found the character Choi Kyung incredibly captivating.I was also intrigued by the idea of portraying the intense academic rivalry among high school girls. Photograph: Courtesy Studio X+U/Friendly Rivalry How did you prepare for the role of Choi Kyung? Were there any scenes you found especially difficult? I had to make a lot of changes to my appearance, but more importantly, I focused on expressing Kyung’s sharp and edgy aura. The director told me he wanted her to feel like a small dagger, and I kept that image in mind throughout.
