TOTTORI -- Hundreds of Umaibo, a popular Japanese stick-shaped snack, were used to form a giant panda at Encho-en, a Chinese-style garden in Yurihama, Tottori Prefecture.
Students of Yurihama Gakuen Senior High School used 5,830 Umaibo to create the panda and four other objects resembling landmarks across China -- Shanghai's Oriental Pearl Tower, the Great Wall of China, the Canton Tower and the Potala Palace in the Tibet Autonomous Region -- as part of the school's exploratory study.
