Bun Scrambling 搶包山

Bun Scrambling
繁:搶包山
简:抢包山

自2005年開始,長洲重辦停止了27年的搶包山傳統活動,搶包山原是太平清醮的一個重要習俗,可惜在1978年5月9日發生了包山倒塌意外,導致多人受傷,之後就被港府下令禁止舉行搶包山活動,直到2005年才解禁

As for the bun scrambling contest, it is thought to have developed later as an additional bit of local competition between villages. Rumors abound that in previous years more than local pride was at stake, with some low level triad and betting interest in the event.
