All festivals whether downbeat or light hearted end in feast. Christmas and easter are well known however there are a few more unusual festivals such as the Bun festival.
 |
Cheung Chau bun festival, a mounmtain of buns to be climbed for the festival.
|
The buns are fixed to a wooden frame or scaffolding higher than a house. A signal is heard then young men and boys clamber up and grab what they can. Whoever snatches the highest cakes will have the best luck for a whole year. This festival only happens in Hong Kong and is usually attended by the governor.
