A week-long festival on the tiny island of Cheng Chau ends with a contest to the top of a tower made of plastic buns. 12 climbers scramble up a 60-feet tower covered with plastic buns with an aim to collect as many buns as possible. One male and one female winner are selected. The festival celebrates the sea deity Pak Tai who is credited with stopping the plague there.
