Bamboo scaffolding

Bamboo scaffolding has been widely used in construction work for centuries. Many landmarks, notably the Great Wall of China, were built using scaffolding made from bamboo, and its use continues today in some parts of the world.

In Hong Kong, the traditional technique using bamboo scaffolding to build temporary Chinese opera theatres is recognized as an item of Intangible Cultural Heritage. West Kowloon Bamboo Theatre and Tsing Yi Bamboo Theatre serve as examples of the technique being used.
