The Oriental Pearl Tower made of Umaibo stick-shaped snacks is on display at Encho-en in Yurigahama, Tottori Prefecture.
Students of Yurihama Gakuen Senior High School used 5,830 Umaibo to create the panda and four other objects resembling landmarks across China — Shanghai’s Oriental Pearl Tower, the Great Wall of China, the Canton Tower and the Potala Palace in the Tibet Autonomous Region — as part of the school’s exploratory study.
Wrapped Umaibo were stuck to cardboard frames to build the 3-meter-tall Oriental Pearl Tower and the 7-meter-long palace. The 1-meter-tall giant panda was made using the chocolate flavored Umaibo because of its dark brown wrapper.

The Oriental Pearl Tower made of Umaibo stick-shaped snacks is on display at Encho-en in Yurigahama, Tottori Prefecture.
The snack display can be seen until noon on Feb. 27. Afterward, the pieces will be dismantled, and the Umaibo will be given away to visitors.
