Link DetailsVisitors flock to Jiao Festival Thousands of people flocked to Cheung Chau today to enjoy the boisterous Jiao Festival.
The festival, listed on the national list of intangible cultural heritage, originated from a traditional ritual to expel bad spirits.
Festival highlights include the Grand Parade and a bun scrambling competition.
In the afternoon, children balancing on poles and dressed in colourful costumes were paraded around the island along with lion dancers.
Traditional steamed buns, a symbol of well-being, were sold at Cheung Chau shops.
The bun scrambling competition will be held tonight with 12 finalists climbing a tower to snatch as many buns as possible.
