5.Daredevil construction
不怕死的建设过程
Most of those skyscrapers were built using bamboo scaffolding, an old craft thatinvolves tying long pieces of sturdy bamboo together to form a freestandinggrid structure for workmen to hang out on. Daredevil scaffolders dangling precariously on bits of bamboo suspended in midair, with asmall harness for support, are a common and heart-stopping sight in Hong Kong's streets. While most other cities are using steel and aluminium scaffolding,Hong Kong stands by bamboo, even establishing a licensing system through the Hong Kong Construction Industry Council. There are now more than 1,700 bamboo scaffolders registered with the ConstructionWorkers Registration Board.
大多数的这些建筑都是通过使用竹制脚手架盖成的，这是一项古老的技艺，把长长的坚硬的竹子绑在一起，构成一个独立式的网格结构，这样工人就可以站在上面盖楼了。
胆大的工人们就这样站在半空中的竹制结构上，身上绑着绳子来维持平衡，这是香港街头普遍而又惊心动魄的一幕幕。 大多数其他城市使用的都是铁的或者铝的脚手架，香港则靠竹子，甚至还通过香港建筑工业委员会设立了一项许可制度。目前建筑工人注册委员会已经有1700个竹子脚手架注册工人了。
