Panda-Monium

Whilst currently only found in the bamboo forests of China's Sichuan, Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, the Giant Panda's natural habitat used to stretch across Southeast China, even into Northern Vietnam. Whilst not an iconic symbol of Hong Kong per se, the loss of habitat and resulting classification as an endangered species is an important reminder of the impact we have on the natural world around us. Those interested in witnessing this cuddly giant can visit Ying Ying and Le Le at Ocean Park in HK, or take a trip to the breeding centre at Cheng Du in Central China.
