Hong Kong Tai Ping Qing Jiao Festival | Come to McDull’s hometown 🐽 and experience the most interesting festival in Hong Kong

Speaking of Cheung Chau Island, everyone will think of the cute image of McDull🐽. This gentle and friendly island 🏝️ is the hometown of the cartoon character McDull. But you may not know that the annual bun grabbing event on Cheung Chau Island is also very interesting and popular. In this custom, the more peace bags you grab, the greater your blessings🧧, and the more luck and success you will have in the whole year💫. 🥁As the gong was struck, the highlight of the Cheung Chau Jiao Festival in Hong Kong, “Bun Grabbing”, officially began🧗🏻. The contestants sprinted up the 14-meter-high bag mountain and used all their skills within the 3-minute time limit to quickly grab the bag with their left and right hands🏅. There was a lot of cheering and shouting at the scene, it was very interesting. This festival was also selected by Time magazine as one of the “Top Ten Weird Festivals in the World”. The peace bun is about the size of a palm and is made of flour, white sugar and water. The word "peace" is printed on the front of the bun with red oil. There are many flavors such as sesame paste, lotus paste, and red bean paste🫘, which means peace and health. Many tourists buy it as a souvenir to take home🛍️. Friends who plan to come to Hong Kong in May, don’t miss this fun festival full of Hong Kong traditional style💕. 🕑Time: 📆Climbing Carnival: 9:00 am to 6:00 pm on May 5 📆Bun Grabbing Finals and Award Ceremony: 11:30pm on May 15 to 12:45am on May 16 💰Activity Fees: Free admission 🚢Transportation: Walk from Central/Hong Kong MTR station to the pier and take a ferry from Pier 5 in Central (see the last picture for the ferry schedule). If you are traveling to Hong Kong during the holidays, Dorsett Mongkok is definitely a treasure residence that you cannot miss. Clean and comfortable rooms, unparalleled value for money, perfect service and free shuttle bus will surely give you a perfect travel experience! 📍Hotel location: 88 Tai Kok Tsui Road, Hong Kong. #HongKong #HongKongTourism #Cheung Chau Island

Cheung Chau

Cheung Chau, Hong Kong, has always been the king of choice for locals to relax on weekends! From Central, take the ferry and jump away from the rhythm of the city to a small island with unbeatable sea views, village houses, and human touch. This time I share a half-day trip to Cheung Chau, suitable for sunny days out - hiking and seeing the sea + leisurely eating snacks, is definitely the perfect combination to Chill and enjoy the leisure time! 🌊List of Trip Highlights: - Enjoy the view of Victoria Harbor by ferry and enter the slow pace of Cheung Chau Island - Explore the cuisine around the pier, the super-sized fishballs must try - Walk along the coastal hiking trail to enjoy the sea breeze and watch the sunset - Take a random picture of the blue sky sea view, the city worries are all thrown away! 📍Attraction Recommendation: 1. Cheung Chau Ferry Terminal Location: Cheung Chau, Hong Kong From Central Pier, the boat ride is about 1 hour, the boat has a strong sea breeze, you can feel the sea view of Victoria Harbor + South China Sea. After getting off the boat, there are many souvenir shops next to the pier. Big fish balls, coconut milk cool and sweet drinks, shark fin soup, mango glutinous rice dumplings, etc. are popular choices for tourists. Recommendation: The big fishball shop across the pier, a portion of 2 super giant size, Q bomb enough flavor, must eat! 2. Humanity + natural scenery around Cheung Chau Island From the pier, you can see old-style fishing village huts and colorful murals everywhere along the loop around the island. You can explore the most popular "Northern Emperor Temple" or "Cheung Po Tsai Cave", and then walk along the seaside hiking trail. It is recommended to start from East Bay Beach to the observation deck, walk slowly, take pictures while, 1–2 hours easily done. Several times on the way you can see clear water intertwined with distant buildings, perfect for taking pictures! ⛰️ Personal test tips: - Choose a sunny day out, the sky in Cheung Chau is beautifully blue, and the sea view is particularly healing - The hiking trail is mainly by the sea, some roads are more sunny, it is best to bring a hat and sunscreen - Breathable sneakers are recommended for easy uphill and downhill journeys - Some snack bars serve different hours in the morning and afternoon 🍴Food Recommendations: - Big Fish Balls opposite Cheung Chau Ferry Terminal (neighbors strongly recommend!) - Island handmade mango glutinous rice dumplings, coconut milk drinks 🚢Transportation Guide: - To Cheung Chau, you can take a ferry (ordinary/express ferry) at Central Pier, the journey is about 1 hour, and the frequency is more frequent on holidays - You can also choose a fast boat to and from the city, which saves time and is comfortable ✅ Island Ecosystem Tips: - Although Cheung Chau is small, it is crowded on weekends/holidays, so it is recommended to avoid the daytime peak - Some seats near the pier overlook the sea, suitable for slow chill eating - Some sections of the hike are uncovered, remember to refill! When you go to Cheung Chau, you have to take your time. When you are tired from walking, sit down and eat fishballs, blow the sea breeze and look at the distant view. It is definitely the best healing trip for urbanites! If you are planning to relax on the weekend, you might as well choose a good weather to go and experience a day of "slow life" Cheung Chau! #CheungChauDayTrip #HongKongIslandTrip #WharfFood #Hiking andSeaSea #LocalChillLife #CheungChau
