Giant pandas Shun Shun and Gong Gong are thriving in their tropical paradise at the Hainan Tropical Wildlife Park, winning over visitors with their adorable antics. 🌿 Since arriving earlier this year, the duo has become the park’s star residents, blending Sichuan charm with island vibes.
Shun Shun, the foodie of the pair, spends mornings munching on fresh bamboo flown in from their native Sichuan province. 🎋 Park staff say she’s developed a particular fondness for afternoon naps in hammocks – when she’s not photobombing visitor selfies, that is!
Meanwhile, Gong Gong keeps crowds entertained with his parkour-inspired tumbles and investigative sniffing sessions. 🔍 His latest obsession? Rolling down hills like a fuzzy black-and-white snowball before flopping onto shaded platforms for recovery naps. 😴
The park reports a 40% surge in visitors this year, with many young travelers adding Hainan to their #PandaPilgrimage itineraries. 🧳 Conservationists highlight the facility’s success in creating microclimates that mimic the pandas’ natural habitat – complete with misting systems for those tropical afternoons. 💦
Next up: The park plans to launch a live ‘Panda Cam’ in early 2026, letting fans worldwide tune into the bamboo buffet action 24/7. 📹
