‘Flash mobs’ on the way as 1,600 paper pandas swarm HK airport

AN army of paper mache pandas swarmed the arrivals hall at Hong Kong airport on Monday as part of a charity campaign to promote conservation of the endangered bears.

The display of 1,600 paper mache pandas was the first of a series of events planned across the city, as part of a monthlong “1,600 Pandas World Tour” campaign. Only about 1,600 giant pandas are believed to remain in the wild.

Organizers say the city will see “flash mobs of pandas” descend on various Hong Kong landmarks including Victoria Harbour, the Shatin racecourse and the city’s trams during the campaign.
