The Cheung Chau Climbing Carnival will be held at the soccer pitch of Pak Tai Temple Playground, Cheung Chau, from noon to 6pm this Sunday (May 5). Members of the public are invited to join and have an early experience of the exciting atmosphere of bun scrambling.

     Interested members of the public who are at least one metre in height can participate in the bun tower climbing activity by making an on-site application. They can then climb the approximately 14m-tall bun tower set up for the Bun Scrambling Competition to experience the fun of climbing.

     Members of the China Hong Kong Mountaineering and Climbing Union will be invited to brief participants on climbing skills and safety matters of bun tower climbing to let them learn more about the sport of climbing while having fun.

     The public can make wishes at the Wishing Bun Tower at the venue. Together with other activities, including an exhibition of winning works from Student Drawing Competitions as well as variety shows, game stalls and handicrafts, the carnival will offer families and friends an eventful holiday.

     The Climbing Carnival is one of the highlights of the 2024 Bun Carnival which is jointly organised by the Hong Kong Cheung Chau Bun Festival Committee and the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD), with the support of the Cheung Chau Wai Chiu County Association Limited, the Cheung Chau Rural Committee, the Islands District Office and the China Hong Kong Mountaineering and Climbing Union.
