Are there pandas by Shuangliu Airport? Is this because the Panda Base has moved? No! It's not!
The 'Pandas Field' landscape in Shuangliu Airport creates a panda landscape that looks like a group of pandas when viewed from above. Because it is close to Shuangliu Airport runway, some tourists can clearly see 'pandas' when planes take off and land. Some netizens also share photos of the panda landscape taken through the windows of airplanes. This led netizens to launch a 'map hunt for pandas' game, one, two, three, four, and the most netizens said they found six, and some 'misinformed' netizens said 'eagerly came in, thinking they were alive'!
Weibo-certified Weibo Aviation Commentary Group Member's 'Viewing Guide': 'It's not difficult to find on satellite maps. If you sit on the left side near the landing, you can see it. Has anyone taken a picture and commented?
Red Star News reporter opened navigation software maps and adjusted to satellite map mode, and indeed found one 'panda' outside Shuangliu Airport runway. However, for the netizens' given 'guidance' address, there was no other one found.
