The world's biggest bun fight

I was just surfing through the internet when I found this article about the Cheung Chau Bun Carnival, which looked very interesting. 

The Cheung Chau Bun Carnival is held on the island of Cheung Chau, and coincides with Buddha's birthday and a public holiday in Hong Kong. Being such a popular event, it attracts thousands of visitors to the island, all wanting to join in the festive atmosphere, watching the performances and buying souvenirs.


The scaling of a 'bun mountain' is the main part of the Cheung Chau Bun carnival, and in this game, participants are supposed to collect as many buns as they can and reach the top of the bun mountain, all in just two minutes. For safely purposes, the buns are covered in plastic, and the audience is watching from a safe distance.


This event is the first of its kind in the world, and this unique event attracts tons of curious visitors to the island of Cheung Chau, turning it into a lively island. This is definitely an event not to be missed, and if I have the chance, I will definitely go there the next time.
