Three bamboo towers covered with buns are being erected for religious purposes, but there is only one 14-meter tower for climbing, and it is made of steel. Designed to Hong Kong skyscraper standards, the steel is anchored to a heavy metal plate buried in about 40 centimeters of concrete. It has been wrapped in bundles of bamboo to disguise the girders and make it resemble a traditional tower. Blue plastic impact-absorbing boxes have been spread around the base of the tower and are covered with thick blue gym mats, in case any climber's equipment malfunctions.Complete report in the no-registration required IHT here.
Thanks, Lincoln!
