Cheung Chau Bun Festival 2008 長洲太平清醮2008

A Hong Kong festival celebrating victory against evil ending by climbing a tower made of pastry buns and grabbing as many as possible? Well if that doesn't sound like fun, what does? Cheung Chau Bun Festival celebrates an ancient event when Cheung Chau's residents disguised themselves as different deities to drive away evil spirits. On May 12, the SO-U.TV team was on the island to take in all the mayhem. Go to http://www.so-u.tv/playVideo.php?contestid=&id=620 to watch the highlights of the day.

長洲太平清醮是香港其中一個主要的傳統節日,亦是該小島一年一度的大慶典.當中的活動除了傳統的祭祀儀式外,還有最受歡迎的會景巡遊及搶包山比賽.今年吸引了約五萬名遊客­到訪,我們的攝影隊伍亦在其中.如錯過了該次盛會,即到SO-U.TV欣賞.http://www.so-u.tv/playVideo.php?contestid=&­id=620
