Large crowds headed to Victoria Park on Tuesday to see more than 100 panda installations that came in different sizes, as part of celebrations marking the SAR's 28th anniversary.

Two of the installations are as tall as 2 metres.

Lulu and her family went to the park especially for the pandas.

"[It's] really interesting. The kid and my husband, both of them enjoyed [it] a lot. They want to do the same pose as those giant pandas," she said.

"We are fans of pandas, we have many doll pandas at home."

Chan, who is a photographer, said the panda installations are unique.

"Usually, panda installations do not allow the public to get close to them. We can only take photos of them from outside," she said.

"But the special thing about this installation is that it allows us to come in and touch them, which allows the public to be more engaged and take photos of the atmosphere, which is quite cute."

Some even brought along panda plush toys to pose for photos.

The event, organised by the Hong Kong Celebrations Association, also features a robot dog that can interact with visitors.

Sze, who often watches videos of the invention online, told RTHK that it was his first time seeing the robot in real life.

"The ones I saw from YouTube could do backflips and do a lot of tricks. But I couldn't see the one here performing these tricks. Maybe because there are too many people here."
