【雲上嶺南】Cheung Chau Island in Hong Kong held the Cheung Chau Da Jiu Festival 

香港长洲岛举办“太平清醮”系列民俗活动

Art and Culture | On 15 May, the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, the festive atmosphere of the Cheung Chau Da Jiu Festival, lasting for several days, reached its climax on Cheung Chau Island in Hong Kong. Every year, the residents of Cheung Chau Island in Hong Kong organize the festival to pray for peace. During the day, the highlight of the #event was the Piu Sik parade. Several strong men carrying large flags led the way and were accompanied by lion #dance performances, children dressed in various themed costumes, standing on 2-meter-high iron frames, escorted by the drum and gong teams and the guard of honor in the middle of the parade, waving and interacting with the public and tourists. Another exciting activity was the #Bun Scrambling Competition, which took place at midnight. Twelve players bravely climbed to the 14.42 meters high bun mountain frame, hanging 9,000 simulated buns, to compete for Ping On buns in the different areas of different values, and the highest score won. #artandculture
