Only In China 5 - Bun Festival and Bun Scrambling

The Century Old Bun Festival in China features a unique bun scrambling competition where climbers race to collect buns from a tall tower. The event has become safer since a tower collapse in 1978, with formal training now required for participants. The buns are believed to bring health and luck, and the festival is a major cultural event, drawing large crowds and requiring bakers to work tirelessly. Despite the humor and popularity, the festival maintains its cultural significance.
