1.
Said to be a hundred years history, every year in May all people on the island of Cheung Chau had to keep vegetarian diet for three days. At the last day the procession held, when midnight came, hundreds young men hurried up to the three bun towers, torn off all the buns, put them in bag or spread them over the crowd. This is why people called this the Bun Festival.

2.
This kind of activity was ceased after an accident in 1978, the bamboo structure of the bun tower bent in the middle and half fall. The festival itself is an combination of praying to gods, ganged together, and to navigate the lost spirits.

1. Cheung Chau Bun Festival or Cheung Chau Da Jiu Festival (Traditional Chinese: 長洲太平清醮) is a traditional Chinese festival on the island of Cheung Chau in Hong Kong. It is by far the most famous of several such Da Jiu Festivals (Traditional Chinese: 包山節 or 長洲太平清醮, Jiu (醮) being a Taoist sacrificial ceremony) held by several (mostly rural) communities in Hong Kong, either annually or once every few years.

Cheung Chau's Bun Festival, which draws tens of thousands of local and overseas tourists every year, is staged to mark the Eighth day of the Fourth Moon, in the Chinese calendar (usually in early May). It thus coincides with the local celebration of Buddha's Birthday.

The Cheung Chau Bun Festival began as a fun and exciting ritual for fishing communities to pray for safety from pirates. Today this religious origin has largely been forgotten, and the festival has become a showcase of traditional Chinese culture above all else.

2. The centrepiece of the festival is at Pak Tai Temple where are the "Bun Mountains" or "Bun Towers"(包山), three giant 60-feet bamboo towers covered with buns. It is those bun-covered towers that give the festival its name. Historically, young men would race up the tower to get hold of the buns; the higher the bun, the better fortune it was supposed to bring to the holder's family; the race was known as "Bun-snatching" (搶包山). However, during a race in 1978 one of the towers collapsed, injuring more than 100 people. In subsequent years, three designated climbers (one climber to each tower) raced up their respective towers and having cleared the top buns proceeded to strip the towers of their buns as they descended.
