Bun Hill!


Bun competition, a local festival in Cheung Chau. The government allowed the reorganization of the activity after it had been stopped for 26 years.
Here is how it works. All the 'safe buns' are tied on a bamboo frame and form a hill. People climb on the hill and get as many buns as possible. The higher the buns located, the more blessing you get. Only local male residents were allowed to climb the hill before.
26 years ago, people climbed and fell down. Many people broke their legs and arms so the government stopped the organizing the activity.
The reorganization means something! Mudull's 'Twelve bun capture hands' is no longer a cartoon story! Posted by Hello
