Traditional bamboo scaffoldings - Kowloon

Traditional bamboo scaffoldings

Be amazed by these traditional bamboo scaffoldings

You will hardly get to see this traditional trade elsewhere. This trade was in Singapore back in the 1980s and it seems to have vanished since then but you are still able to see them in Kowloon, Hong Kong. Basically, the scaffolders erect them with bamboos and ropes as high as the buildings for some painting or cleaning jobs. You will be amazed how they actually did it.

Reclamation Street Market - Kowloon

Reclamation Street Market

Visit the Reclamation Street Market

This is one of the many markets that you do not find in the guide books. You have to venture on your own and you'll be surprised to see what the locals do. They browse, choose, bargain and buy exactly what they want or else no deal for them.
