Chengdu and Volgograd: Nostalgia Tourist. The climbing panda

This September, Volgograd and Chengdu students have prepared a whole series of colorful and informative videos about the iconic statues, buildings and little-known sites of Volgograd and Chengdu. Today on air is Xu Xinhao from Chengdu. He is going to show us one of the cutest urban statues ever -- follow him!

Tell us a little bit about yourself, please.

– I'm Xu Xinhao from Yucai Middle School Attached to Chengdu No.7 High School, Xuedao Campus. I'm 13, I like photography and hope one day I can take photos in your city.

Why did you choose this particular spot for the video?

– This climbing panda was designed by Lawrence Argent for public welfare activities. Lawrence Argent wants people remember to "care for the precious creatures that are like pandas on our planet". That is what we all should concern. At the same time, it makes our city a little livelier. The Panda sculpture embodies modern art, it can show you another side of Chengdu. It is not only a city of leisure, but also become more and more international, fashionable and artistic.

If you found yourself in Volgograd for a whole day, what would you like to see and do?

– If I could stay at Volgograd for one day. I want to travel all over the city and take a lot of beautiful pictures. Maybe I'll take some time to send postcards to my friends in Chengdu to share my happiness with them. Then I want to sit by a beautiful river and eat all kinds of local delicacies, enjoy the glorious sunset while listening to the local music, until nightfall. I hope I can also make some friends, people in the two cities know each other better!

Xinhao's video is waiting for you on YouTube:
