Get ready to squeal, Hong Kong—giant panda charm has officially taken over the city! Ocean Park is thrilled to announce its collaboration with the Tourism Commission and the Hong Kong Tourism Board to launch the citywide Pandastic Panda Birthday Parade, celebrating Hong Kong’s most beloved conservation and tourism ambassadors.
This summer-long party turns the entire city into a joyful panda land. The spotlight shines brightest on the Hong Kong-born giant panda twins Jia Jia and De De as they turn two, joined by their August-born parents, Ying Ying and Le Le, alongside June birthday stars, An An and Ke Ke. Daily commutes and weekend shopping trips are getting an irresistible dose of cuteness!
Join the Pandastic Panda Birthday Parade on trams and buses
Tram 300
From 4 to 31 August 2026, keep your cameras locked and loaded for Tram 300, which rocks Hong Kong’s first-ever optical illusion design starring ‘Elder Sister’ Jia Jia and ‘Little Brother’ De De for the ultimate social media snap. Commuters can also hop aboard three more designated trams wrapped in vibrant designs featuring Ying Ying, Le Le, An An and Ke Ke.
For those travelling further, catch a ride on KMB routes 1, 307 and 968*, where colourful designs with the six Hong Kong giant pandas turn bus rides into rolling festivities across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, and the New Territories.
*The bus route numbers are subject to change based on road conditions and operational adjustments.
Note: The optical illusion designs on tram and bus bodies are for advertising purpose only.
Paint the town panda: the Panda Friends Pop-up Roadshow
The party extends straight into the city’s prime retail hubs with the Panda Friends Pop-up Roadshow. The first stop at Fashion Walk in Causeway Bay runs from now until 23 August 2026, transforming the pedestrian walkway into a vibrant playground where fans can capture sweet memories and grab limited-edition merchandise. The Panda Friends crew will then move up to The Peak Galleria from 24 August to 27 September 2026, continuing to spread birthday joy against a breathtaking scenic backdrop.
