24 – 25 of May – The 2026 Cheung Chau Bun Carnival will take place from April to May, bringing the most ‘addictive’ bun mountain tradition to the island: three towering bamboo structures covered entirely in bread (no joke). To the rhythm of live music, lion dances, and floating parade processions, you’ll gradually come to understand why this festival draws both locals and tourists alike.

If you’re the kind of person who queues up early for the perfect sweet-salty bite, the electric atmosphere, and the sheer joy of celebrating alongside others, then this trip is your ultimate urban escape recipe — from the training and selection rounds of the Bun Scrambling Competition, to the final ‘bun snatching’ finals and awards ceremony. Add to that the bun tower climbing carnival, a student art exhibition, and days of deep-rooted festive rituals across the island. The best part? You’re not just a spectator — you’ll be swept up in that collective, high-energy buzz. Can’t grab a bun from the tower? No worries — every minute on-site is worth capturing.
