Hong Kong green post box with Royal British isignia

Even though Hong Kong is no longer under the British colonial rule, as a visitor, it is edifying to see some history miscellany in society’s practical objects such as the post box.

Of modern type but still green

Bamboo Scaffolding

2 Comments Posted by Lana on October 27, 2015

Bamboo scaffolding is widely used in Hong Kong and that is why this attracts my attention more than the IFCs or Bank of China Tower type of buildings.

One must be amazingly skilled in tying and connecting bamboo poles together at the right places to ensure stability for construction men and materials. How I wish bamboo scaffolders will continue to pass on this ancient skill for generations as bamboo scaffolding takes away the look of dullness of modern infrastructure construction activity happening constantly here and there.
