Since their arrival earlier this year at the Hainan Tropical Wildlife Park and Botanical Garden in Hainan Province on the Chinese mainland, giant pandas Shun Shun and Gong Gong have fully settled into their lush new home. Visitors are treated to daily displays of panda charm, from Shun Shun’s leisurely bamboo feasts to Gong Gong’s playful somersaults across the lawn.
Thanks to a steady supply of fresh, Sichuan-sourced bamboo shoots, Shun Shun often spends the morning nibbling through stalks with calm focus. Meanwhile, Gong Gong captivates crowds by tumbling, rolling, and curling up for naps on shaded platforms, before venturing out to explore his surroundings with childlike curiosity.
These endearing routines not only draw wildlife enthusiasts and travelers to Hainan’s tropical shores but also highlight global conservation efforts. The pandas’ smooth adaptation to a new environment underscores ongoing work to protect this vulnerable species and promote sustainable tourism across regions.
For young global citizens seeking immersive travel experiences, Shun Shun and Gong Gong offer a perfect blend of nature, culture, and unforgettable moments. Whether you’re a digital nomad capturing candid clips or a family looking for an ethical wildlife adventure, a visit to these gentle giants in Hainan is a reminder of the joy and unity that conservation can inspire.
