Move over, K-pop idols – giant pandas Shunshun and Gonggong are stealing hearts in Hainan! 🌴 These fluffy ambassadors have become the main attraction at the Hainan Tropical Wildlife Park since their arrival, with their bamboo-munching sessions and acrobatic rolls drawing record crowds this year.
Park staff report that Shunshun’s obsession with Sichuan bamboo (air-shipped weekly!) has inspired a new line of panda-themed snacks in the gift shop. Meanwhile, Gonggong’s habit of napping in yoga-worthy poses has spawned countless viral TikTok clips. 🎥
"They’re better than Netflix," laughed 22-year-old visitor Li Jiawei. "I’ve visited three times this month just to watch Gonggong’s afternoon playtime routine."
Conservationists highlight how their adaptation to Hainan’s tropical climate demonstrates China’s wildlife protection successes. The pandas’ enclosure now features misting systems and custom-designed shade structures, proving eco-tourism can thrive alongside animal welfare. 🌿
