dà xióng māo大熊猫néng能bāng zhù帮助xiāng gǎng香港jīng jì经济ma吗?
Recently, many giant panda sculptures have appeared in the city and tourist attractions in Hong Kong.
The government hopes to use the 'panda economy' to attract more tourists.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and some social issues, Hong Kong's tourism and economy have been affected.
Currently, Hong Kong has six giant pandas, including two newly born baby pandas.
Ocean Park held a celebration for them, and many people came to visit.
Raising giant pandas is expensive and requires a lot of money every year.
Ocean Park also needs to build new houses and buy bamboo for the pandas to eat.
Some people think giant pandas can bring more tourists to Hong Kong and help improve the economy.
Others say giant pandas can help Hong Kong's children better understand China.
Although everyone likes the cute giant pandas, some people joke that if pandas could really improve the economy, Chengdu would have long become a financial center.
