Cheung Chau Bun Festival 2007


Though most attention on the Bun Festival focuses on the parade day - this year to be held on 24 May - it's actually held over several days: this year's Bun Festival starts on 21 May (there's also a Climbing Carnival the day before) and ends on the 25th.

On the Hong Kong Toursim Board's page CHEUNG CHAU BUN FESTIVAL 21 - 26 May, you can find a little info and download a pdf file with some more details and an events calendar - though, curiously, this omits the grand exorcism, which is a key function of the festival.

The Climbing Carnival is scheduled for noon - 6pm on 20 May; will be held on the Bun Festival space rocket cum climbing tower thing in the football court in front of Pak Tei Temple
