Cheung Chau Bun Festival (Hong Kong)
Cheung Chau Island in Hong Kong celebrates a traditional Chinese festival on the 8th day of the fourth month of the Chinese lunar calendar, usually in April or May. The festival honors Pak Tai, the Taoist god of the sea, with parades, lion dances, and the popular bun scrambling competition where people climb a bun-covered tower. This event holds great importance for the local community, deeply rooted in ancient traditions, and was revitalized in the early 20th century to become a significant cultural celebration.
