Cheung Chau is a small island off the coast of Hong Kong. Yahoo News reports that, prior to the pandemic, it would host an annual week-long festival to celebrate the Buddha’s birthday. Now that the Chinese government has loosened COVID-related restrictions, that public celebration has resumed. The festivities include a contest to climb a 60-foot tall tower of buns.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
As far as I can tell, the object of this competition is to climb to the top of tower and collect as many buns as possible within a minute.
You can see more photos of this festival at the New York Daily News.
