HONG KONG STORIES 2009: BAMBOO
Hong Kong people are certainly familiar with bamboo scaffolding. From major construction sites to stages for god revering Chinese opera, advertising signs and building maintenance work, the scaffold industry has made immense contribution to Hong Kong's development. Bamboo scaffolding has a long history in China: it is believed that Youchao Tribe (the Nesters) built tree houses with bamboo as early as 5,000 years ago. In recent years, however, iron frames and screws are used to build scaffolding in Mainland China instead of bamboo poles and bamboo skin.

Yet in Hong Kong, bamboo scaffolding continues to be used in construction for its versatility, abundance, convenience, neatness and cost-effectiveness. Doesn't this remind you of the spirit of Hong Kong people?
