Taipei Zoo's latest additions, panda pair Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan, have attracted thousands of visitors during the Spring Festival season. Businesses around the zoo are booming.
The street near the zoo used to be famed for its bean curd products, but now pandas are the new theme. As people pour into the zoo, they all want to go home with panda mementos. In hotel rooms, on the street, and throughout the zoo, panda souvenirs appear in many different shapes and sizes.
Even the bears' favorite food - bamboo - has become a popular dish for zoo visitors. Anything with a panda theme is a bestseller here. Some stores and restaurants near the zoo say business is up around 30 percent thanks to the ongoing 'panda popularity'.
