Revellers pack a Hong Kong island for a bun festival, a century-old tradition

Hong Kong's Cheung Chau island hosted its annual Bun Festival, drawing thousands of residents and tourists to watch the Piu Sik parade and the midnight bun-scrambling competition on a 60-metre tower. The century-old tradition, suspended from 1978 to 2005 after a tower collapse, has become one of Hong Kong's top tourist attractions, with no direct relevance to tech or business decisions.
