1600 Pandas Invasion @ Publika KL #1600PandasMY

I've been noticing these 1600 Pandas ever since I saw their photos while they were in Hong Kong. It has never crossed my mind that they'll be coming to Malaysia. But they did and their first stop in Malaysia was at Dataran Merdeka on 21st December 2014! I missed it though cos I only knew about it when I saw my friends' photos on Facebook and the pandas were only there for an hour T_T

So after I checked 1600PandasMY World Tour Schedule, I decided to make an appointment with the pandas on 13th January 2015 @ Publika. It was quite hard to find parking at level G1. In the end, I had to drive out and enter another parking entrance.

I was greeted by the sight of 1600 paper mache pandas at Publika Square, Level G2. It was full of cute pandas!! Because it was held indoors this time, the pandas will be here until 25th January 2015 (10 am - 10 pm).




Many people have purposely came to Publika KL just to see these pandas! Don't miss it cos you'll never know if they'll ever come again.


French sculptor, Paulo Grangeon has made 7 Malaysia-themed pandas for the exhibition - Beca, Wau, Badminton, Wayang Kulit, Congkak, Bunga Raya (Hibiscus) and Gasing. All these pandas were displayed in a glass casing.

Besides admiring the cuteness of these pandas, let's not forget the reason they're here - to create awareness about endangered species. Until 2004, there are only 1600 wild pandas left.
