The large-scale outdoor public art exhibition “1600 Pandas World Tour—Taipei,” co-hosted by the Taipei City Government’s Department of Information and Tourism and Left Brain Creative Marketing, is set to open in Taipei on February 28. In the lead-up to the opening, the organizers recently took 1,600 paper pandas on a flash mob tour around Taipei, snapping photos at spots such as Dajia Riverside Park, the Taipei Water Source Reservoir Museum, Xinyi Civic Plaza, and the National Theater. This attracted many fans who followed the pandas’ flash mob trail to take pictures. For those who missed the live events, check out the adorable paper pandas in their playful poses around Taipei’s iconic sites.
