Cheung Chau Bun Festival

This week-long celebration includes a fantastic parade of children dressed up as mythological Chinese characters as well as a bun tower scrambling competition where contestants clamber up a 60-foot-high tower stacked with buns trying to grab the lucky buns. This amazing festival attracts thousands upon thousands of locals and overseas tourists every year and it gets its name from the huge towers of lucky buns.

♥♥♥ If you want to experience a quiet little fishing village, friendly people, warm breezy air, Cháng Zhōu 長洲 (Long Island) is a very nice place to visit. I was there in December ♥♥♥.
