In addition to an arch featuring outlines of a panda's head at one end, the Daxing Erqiao Bridge, spanning over the Qingyi River in Yucheng District, Ya'an City in southwest China's Sichuan Province, steals the show with an additional 36 panda sculptures installed on both sides of its guardrails.

These giant panda sculptures were adorned in the national costumes of over 10 countries and posed in adorable stances. The prototypes for these installations include some well-known giant pandas in China, as well as others that were gifted to other countries as national treasures.
