Hong Kong – The Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau (CSTB), the Hong Kong Tourism Board (HKTB), and Ocean Park are joining forces to roll out a series of citywide promotional activities, celebrating the public debut of Hong Kong’s giant panda cubs and bringing panda-themed experiences to iconic locations and platforms across the city.
As part of the panda cubs’ debut celebration, CSTB, HKTB, and Hongkong Post have introduced 3D panda-themed mailboxes. A total of 49 mailboxes will be installed across Hong Kong, Kowloon, and the New Territories, with the first five appearing in Causeway Bay and the Southern District. The remaining mailboxes will be rolled out from February to early March.
The mailboxes feature 3D-printed panda twins: the elder sister holding a Hong Kong soft-serve ice cream and the younger brother capturing the moment with a camera. Adorned with iconic city landmarks, the mailboxes invite visitors to explore Hong Kong and encourage locals to share the city’s charm with friends and family.
Following this, HKTB, Ocean Park, and MTR are partnering to introduce panda-themed decorations at MTR Ocean Park Station, select themed trains, Airport Express stations, and key MTR stations, including Admiralty.
Additionally, panda-themed displays will also appear at Hong Kong International Airport, the Tsim Sha Tsui Star Ferry Pier, bus stops across various districts, and the HKTB Kowloon Visitor Information Centre, extending the panda-themed experience across the city.
In addition to outdoor activities, the panda cubs’ debut extends on screen, featuring swimming star Siobhán Haughey, known as the “Flying Fish,” visiting Ocean Park to meet the pandas up close.
In a video on Discover Hong Kong’s official YouTube channel, Haughey, a devoted panda fan, spoke with caretakers, shared insights into the pandas’ playful personalities, and encouraged viewers to visit them in person.
