Hong Kong’s traditional Cheung Chau Bun Festival has returned after a three-year hiatus during the Covid-19 pandemic. Much like previous years, the highlight was the bun scrambling competition on May 26, 2023, where 12 contestants scaled a 15-metre (49-foot) tower to snatch buns for scores. The Post followed Janet Kung, the “Bun Queen” of the scramble’s previous edition, in her journey to prepare for the competition’s return and her attempt to retain her title.
