The largest bamboo structure altar (temporary) measures 3,897.409 m² (41,951 ft² 52 in²) and was achieved by Kam Tin Heung (China) in Hong Kong SAR, China on 9 December 2025.
The 2025 Kam Tin Heung Grateful Worship Ritual is a decennial Taiping Qingjiao in Kam Tin, Yuen Long, and one of Hong Kong’s longest-standing village ritual traditions, now in its 34th edition. Held from 13–19 December 2025, the main venue is a temporary ritual ground in front of Chow Wong Yi Kung Study Hall at Shui Tau Tsuen, open freely to the public. Originating in the Qing dynasty after border restoration, it commemorates officials who allowed villagers to return and consoles those who died during the evacuation, becoming a key symbol of walled-village identity. The event features Taoist ceremonies, deity processions, lion and dragon dances, Cantonese opera, puppet shows, and communal feasts. A five-storey bamboo pavilion serves first as ritual hall, then as opera theatre, showcasing recognised intangible heritage bamboo-building techniques. Guided tours explain the bamboo theatre structure and ritual space.
