Public invited to enjoy Cheung Chau Climbing Carnival
*****************************************************
Interested members of the public who are at least one metre in height can enrol on-site to participate in bun tower climbing. They will climb onto a 14m-tall bun tower, as used in the Bun Scrambling Competition, to experience the fun.
The Hong Kong, China Mountaineering and Climbing Union has been invited to brief participants on the skills and safety matters of bun tower climbing. Participants can therefore learn more about the sport of climbing while enjoying the fun.
At the Carnival, members of the public can also make wishes at the Wishing Bun Tower and join other activities (including variety shows, an exhibition of the winning entries of the Student Drawing Competitions, booth games and handicrafts-making), enjoying the day with families and friends. In addition, there will be a game booth for the mass participation events of the 15th National Games to encourage public participation in the athlete selections.
The Bun Tower Climbing Team Relay will be held from 9am to noon on the same day. Teams from local tertiary institutions, government departments, public utilities and commercial and industrial organisations will compete in the relay. Members of the public are welcome to watch the sport on-site and cheer for the teams.
The Climbing Carnival and Bun Tower Climbing Team Relay are the highlights of the 2025 Bun Carnival as jointly organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department (LCSD) and the Hong Kong Cheung Chau Bun Festival Committee, with the support of the Cheung Chau Wai Chiu County Association Limited, the Cheung Chau Rural Committee, the Islands District Office, and the Hong Kong, China Mountaineering and Climbing Union.
For enquiries, please contact the Islands District Leisure Services Office of the LCSD on 2852 3220, or visit the department's website (www.lcsd.gov.hk/en/bun/index.html).
