The Island of Cheng Chau hosted it's 2008 annual bun festival, which culminates in a midnight scramble up a bun tower in a race to grab as many buns as possible, unfortunatly didn't see that because the last ferry left at half eleven. But it was still a good day, although very busy, with an estimated 20,000 visitors (about twice the island's population).
