Bun Scrambling Competition in Hong Kong

Bun Scrambling Competition is an annual fun sport held on the Cheung Chau Island of Hong Kong in each year's May. Competitors are required to climb a tall bamboo tower studded with thousands of 'lucky buns' during this midnight mountaineering adventure and the one who, in three minutes, grabs the buns with the highest total score will be the winner.

The two-century-old bun-scrambling festival was once stopped 27 years starting from 1978 when more than 100 people were injured after one of the towers collapsed. It was only resumed in 2005. Links 1, 2, 3, 4
