Well, Meet
the Giant Panda Programme was one of the most memorable experience for me during my recent trip to Ocean Park Hong Kong to experience their Christmas Sensation 2017 attractions apart from the Hong Kong's First VR Rollercoaster Ride. Meet the Giant Panda is also one of the park
experiences to get closer to the animals as part of the park's initiatives to offer entertainment with education and conservation.
Meet Le Le The Giant Panda @ Ocean Park Hong Kong |
On the
second day, we went to the park again and this time is was quite early before
the park opened to the public. Then we went to Mountain and River Classroom,
over there we were briefed about the Panda Conservation, Le Le The Giant Panda,
the dos and don’ts plus the rules and regulations before we enter.
Are you ready to meet Le Le, The Giant Panda? |
Basically, we were given a cute Panda apron to put on, removed all our jewelries and metal items on our body including our watch, tided up our hair and then we have to pass our camera or handphone to the animal keeper, they will help us to take photos. There are lockers to keep our bags and stuff.

Before we
enter, we have step into chemical to disinfect our shoes base and then we moved
to the kitchen area to learn how to prepare food for panda. Hygiene is very
important, remember to wash hand with the hand wash prepared and also wear
gloves when preparing the food or treats for Le Le.
