Attending the bun festival on an Cheung Chau Island about 45 minutes from Hong Kong by ferry was great fun on a Saturday. It was a delightful day with perfect weather and lots of colorful events. The buns (pictured at right, with a Chinese symbol "stamped" in red on the top) are steamed and filled with an unusual paste mixture in the center. In the "city square" there was a huge tower of "lucky buns." Lunch was more than ample, with vegetarian food galore, some of it in the "mystery" category - it was "INTERESTING" to say the least.
