There are nearly 100 cartoon giant pandas in different shapes painted on the wall of the alley. Some of them are charmingly naive, some are vivacious, and some are clever and naughty. The whole valley is just like a "Panda Kingdom". The paintings such as panda climbing the tree, panda warrior going canyoning, are skillfully integrated with the surrounding residential buildings. When the residents passing by, they will see the lively and interesting scene.
