An “unprofessional” scaffold for a Chinese opera

This scaffold was built for the Chinese opera at an opening ceremony of a temple in Suen Wan, Tai Po. At the entrance of the scaffold, 2 supporting bamboos were selected from thicker bamboos and China fir. The sides and the top of the scaffold were covered by zinc plates, while the platform was covered by bamboos and carpets. Mr Chan did not consider himself an expert in this kind of scaffold, because he thought a scaffold of this kind should be more refined and beautifully crafted.
