Three-d gold? Is this the Bun Festival goes bling? Stay tuned. Amateur scramblers should take heed, however:

Selected applicants must complete the safety training sessions provided by the Hong Kong Mountaineering Union on April 22 and 23 on bun tower climbing and accident prevention.

Hong Kong Mountaineering Union? What's the betting they'll be handing out an engraved certificate for those who have successfully completed the 'bun tower climbing and accident prevention course'? Stage One -- the "bun scrambler" enrolment form: Leisure and Cultural Services
