Cheung Chau Bun Festival

If you visit Hong Kong around the end of April or the beginning of May, you will have the opportunity to participate in a one-of-a-kind festival called the Cheung Chau Bun Festival. It's a one-of-a-kind cultural experience with massive bamboo towers topped with delicious buns that shouldn't be missed. The four-day event honors the Taoist god Pak Tai and includes music, parades, and plenty of delicious buns.

The festival's main location is on Cheung Chau Island, in front of the iconic Pak Tai Temple. The bun scrambling competition is the primary event. The competition is won by the first person to climb to the top and get the buns. Aside from that, the titles of King and Queen Bun are up for grabs. During the festival, everyone will be vegetarian, including locals and tourists, and no meat will be served.

When: from April to May
