For nearly seven years, panda brothers Gong Gong and Shun Shun have been calling the Hainan Tropical Wildlife Park and Botanical Garden their home. Nestled in the southernmost province of China, the pair have become star attractions, delighting visitors with their playful antics and charming personalities.
Their journey from cooler climates to the tropical warmth of Hainan Province has been remarkable. Thanks to the dedicated care of the park’s zookeepers, Gong Gong and Shun Shun have adapted seamlessly to their lush surroundings, enjoying a life filled with bamboo feasts and leisurely afternoons.
"They’ve truly become part of our family here," says one of the zookeepers. "We take great pride in ensuring they are happy and healthy."
The pandas’ presence highlights Hainan’s commitment to wildlife conservation and environmental awareness. As the province prepares for the 5th edition of the Hainan Expo, scheduled from April 13 to 18, the spotlight on Gong Gong and Shun Shun underscores the region’s rich biodiversity and dedication to protecting endangered species.
Visitors to the park can witness firsthand the daily lives of these beloved creatures, making memories that last a lifetime. Whether they’re munching on bamboo or engaging in playful wrestling matches, Gong Gong and Shun Shun continue to capture hearts from around the world.
