Hong Kong Shopping, Goldfish & Giant Panda Bears

Terry Hodgkinson aka "wandering ninja" shows some video clips of Hong Kong's Stanley Market and Ocean Park where he captured excellent footage of interesting looking goldfish and cute but giant size panda bears.
"Stanley Market was huge, so much to look at. The goldfish in Ocean Park were all unique, some I had never seen anywhere before. Now the giant panda bears, JiaJia and AnAn were the main attraction. What a pleasure and treat it was to watch these beautiful bears!" - Terry

Facts:

Stanley Market
The ever-popular Stanley Market is situated in Stanley New Street near the Stanley food market. It is an array of small shops and street stalls flaunting handicrafts and souvenirs rich in local flavour, as well as household items, toys and low cost fashion. The selection is dazzling and offers great value for money.

History of goldfish in China
In ancient China, various species of carp (collectively known as Asian carps) were domesticated and have been reared as food fish for thousands of years. Some of these normally gray or silver species have a tendency to produce red, orange or yellow color mutations; this was first recorded in the Jin Dynasty (265--420).

Info on Giant Pandas
The giant panda lives in a few mountain ranges in central China, mainly in Sichuan province, but also in the Shaanxi and Gansu provinces.[8] Due to farming, deforestation and other development, the panda has been driven out of the lowland areas where it once lived.
While the dragon has historically served as China's national emblem, in recent decades the panda has also served as an emblem for the country. Its image appears on a large number of modern Chinese commemorative silver, gold, and platinum coins. Though the panda is often assumed to be docile, it has been known to attack humans, presumably out of irritation rather than predation.
