Construction sites are everywhere in Hong Kong. They rumble and hammer to the rhythm of the city, thereby slowly changing her face. Though they cause both inconvenience and annoyance to the public, they still go on — a symbol of the prosperity and dynamism of Hong Kong. Certainly, without ceaseless improvement, Hong Kong would never be the same.
Through the scaffolding, a glimpse of the Tsing Ma Bridge, which is nearing completion. |

 Building scaffolding is like a spider weaving a web. |
 Many skills are required, from welding and carpentry to construction engineering. |
 Teamwork is important. |
