Over 400 panda souvenirs musters excitement ahead of panda meet

Ocean Park has launched more than 400 giant panda-themed souvenirs and food items to lure customers ahead of the pandas’ public debut.

The souvenirs featuring the first Hong Kong-born giant panda twins “Elder Sister” and “Younger Brother” include various plush toys which are popular among visitors.

The twin giant panda cubs will meet the public on February 16 after debuting a day earlier.

Ocean Park Chief Executive Ivan Wong Chi-fai told the media on Friday that the park is considering different measures to ease the crowd of panda fans, including a possible limit on visit time.

Born on August 15 of last year, the cubs weighed only 122 and 112 grams respectively, and they now weigh around 11 kilograms each.
