HONG KONG – To celebrate the public debut of Hong Kong-born giant panda twins – Elder Sister and Little Brother – on Sunday, total 49 panda-themed 3D mailboxes, designed by the Hongkong Post, will appear on the streets of Hong Kong starting mid-February.
The first batch of five mailboxes will appear in Causeway Bay and the Southern district, while the rest of them will appear gradually before early March.
Atop each of the mailboxes will be a 3D-printed doll of Elder Sister holding a soft ice cream and a doll of the Little Brother holding a camera, seemingly prepared to capture the charm of Hong Kong.
