Hainan Island threw a bamboo-powered bash this week for its most iconic residents: giant pandas Gong Gong and Shun Shun! The duo marked five years at the Hainan Tropical Wildlife Park, where keepers spoiled them with fresh bamboo feasts and fruity treats.
Born in Sichuan Province in 2013, these fluffy ambassadors arrived in Haikou on November 25, 2018, ending Hainan's status as China's only panda-free province. Their debut was a game-changer for local wildlife tourism, blending Sichuan charm with tropical vibes.
Park staff shared that Gong Gong (the laid-back 'chill brother') and Shun Shun (the playful 'sunshine girl') have become #CoupleGoals for panda enthusiasts. Fans worldwide tune into their 24/7 livestreams—proving these bears are true digital-age icons.
Fun fact: Hainan’s warm climate initially raised eyebrows, but the pandas adapted like pros. Now they’re thriving, munching on local bamboo varieties and napping in custom air-conditioned dens. Talk about living your best life!
