A WiFi logo is on in the front of the suit. Residents say it gives the panda a sense of science and technology. /CFP

The new statue's armor is made of stainless steel, unlike the previous one, which was a stone sculpture. It is the second panda landmark since the panda sculpture was installed in the area in 2012. /CFP
