Description and reception


Hehe Xiexie depicts two "cuddly" Giant pandas which, according to Huan, represent a "harmonious society, harmonious world [and] harmonious Expo."[1] They are made of mirror-finished stainless steel and measure 600 centimetres (20 ft) x 420 centimetres (13.8 ft) x 380 centimetres (12.5 ft) and 600 centimetres (20 ft) x 426 centimetres (13.98 ft) x 390 centimetres (12.8 ft).[3] They were manufactured by Zhang Huan Studio and donated by Tomson Group as part of the Collection World Expo.[3]

CNN Travel's Jessica Beaton and Hunter Braithwaite called the piece a "great" and "harmonious" photo opportunity.[1]
