Move over, pumpkin spice lattes—giant pandas are stealing the spotlight this Mid-Autumn Festival! 🌕 Chongqing Zoo’s furry VIPs celebrated the lunar holiday in style on October 6, 2025, munching on custom-made mooncakes crafted just for them. Talk about a *panda-monium* of cuteness! 🎋
Keepers prepared bamboo-shaped treats stuffed with fruits and vitamins, blending tradition with panda-approved nutrition. Visitors snapped photos as the black-and-white stars lounged with their festive snacks, proving that mooncake joy isn’t just for humans. 🥮✨
Mid-Autumn Festival, rooted in gratitude and family reunions, took on new charm this year. As one zookeeper joked: "If pandas could write poetry, they’d definitely thank the moon for these snacks!" 🌙 The event highlights China’s efforts to blend cultural heritage with wildlife care—a win for both conservation and holiday vibes.
