The panda flash event, which began last Thursday (20th), aims to help the public better understand the plight of endangered species. In addition to the army of pandas, ten other endangered animals will also make an appearance, including the Formosan black bear, polar bear, black rhinoceros, Asian elephant, Indo-Pacific humpback dolphin, Formosan clouded leopard, green sea turtle, fairy pitta, Formosan tree frog, and Formosan leopard cat.

From the Taipei Expo Park, Bopiliao Historic Block, Songshan Cultural and Creative Park, and other locations, the panda flash event made its final stop in the audience seats of the National Theater. For the first time, over a thousand pandas replaced regular audiences, sitting in seats from the first to the fourth floor. Pandas in various poses could be seen in every seat, with the Formosan tree frog also appearing among the seats to convey the importance of conservation.
