The Chongqing Zoo marked a special occasion as giant panda twins Xing Xing and Chen Chen celebrated their third birthday on June 10, 2024. This year’s birthday coincided with the vibrant Dragon Boat Festival, adding an extra layer of festivity to the celebrations.
To honor the twins and the traditional festival, the zoo organized a joyous party filled with excitement and cultural significance. A highlight of the event was the serving of zongzi, a traditional Chinese rice dish wrapped in bamboo leaves, specially prepared for all the pandas in the zoo. This delightful treat not only celebrated the pandas’ milestone but also fostered a sense of community among the zoo’s beloved residents.
The harmonious blend of wildlife celebration and cultural festivities exemplifies Chongqing Zoo’s commitment to providing enriching experiences for both its animals and visitors. As Xing Xing and Chen Chen continue to grow, their joyful celebrations serve as a reminder of the importance of conservation and cultural heritage.
