Following the resounding success of Pingtung’s Bicycle Greenway Flower Festival “Autumn Travel as a Guest” series on September 27 and 28 at the County Stadium, to further engage the public in environmental conservation, carbon reduction, and land and ecological restoration, the county government has arrangedfor paper pandas to visit Guangcai Wetland in Linbian Township on October 4, taking children and adults alike into the nation’s largest solar photovoltaic industrial zone, and sharing the efforts and achievements of Linbian Township in post-disaster reconstruction, green energy, and land repurposing.

On the morning of October 2, Magistrate Tsao Chi-hung, Deputy Director of the Education Department Hsu Pei-hsiang, and 30 elementary school students from Sishih Elementary School took a train from Sishih Railway Station to escort 30 paper pandas to Linbian Railway Station. Upon their arrival, the paper pandas were warmly welcomed by Linbian Township Mayor Cheng Hsin-cheng and over 100 kindergarten children. The kids, with cute panda makeup on their faces or dressed up as little pandas, were absolutely adorable—matching the charm of the paper pandas and stealing the show.

Led by the children, the group marched in high spirits to the nearby Kuoliao Park. The Linbian Nature and Cultural History Conservation Association and local residents prepared bamboo-flavored dishes and panda-themed meals made with local ingredients, including bamboo leaf rice balls, panda sushi, and bamboo shoot soup, to treat the paper panda guests and children. The lively event served as a warm-up for the October 4 activities.

Last week, the paper pandas drew huge crowds at the Stadium. This weekend they’re heading to Linbian Township, hoping to attract more visitors to learn about the area. Everyone is welcome to take the train to see the paper pandas, becauseGuangcai Wetland is located right behind Linbian Railway Station, just a 10-minute walk from the exhibition area, making it a great low-carbon travel option. Plus, taking the train allows you to experience the newly elevated railway and the reconstructed Linbian Railway Station, witnessing the transformation of Linbian.
