Hong Kong Embraces Panda Craze With Giant Sculpture Exhibition

A panda mascot poses for photographs in front of the panda sculptures displayed at the Hong Kong International Airport during the welcome ceremony of the panda-themed exhibition "Panda Go!" in Hong Ko

Thousands of giant panda sculptures will be on display in Hong Kong starting this weekend, as part of the PANDA GO! FEST HK exhibition. The launch ceremony took place at Hong Kong's airport, with 2,500 exhibits showcased. These sculptures will first be displayed at the Avenue of Stars in Tsim Sha Tsui before moving to three other locations in the city.

One of the designated spots for the panda sculptures is Ocean Park, where twin cubs were born in August to mother Ying Ying. The design of six sculptures was inspired by these pandas, made from recycled rubber barrels and resins. The twin cubs, along with their parents and two other pandas gifted by Beijing, are expected to meet visitors as early as February.
