In the lush environs of Hainan Tropical Wildlife Park and Botanical Garden, giant panda brothers Gong Gong and Shun Shun have become beloved symbols of wildlife conservation. The duo, residents of south China's Hainan Province for nearly seven years, continue to captivate visitors with their playful antics and thriving health.
Zookeepers at the park emphasize the pandas' adaptation to Hainan's tropical climate, made possible through specially designed habitats and carefully curated diets. "Their daily routines include bamboo feasts, enrichment activities, and regular health checks," explained a senior park veterinarian. "Monitoring their wellbeing remains our top priority."
The pandas' successful acclimatization coincides with Hainan's growing reputation as an ecological hub. The island province will host its 5th Hainan Expo from April 13 to 18, showcasing regional sustainability initiatives alongside trade and cultural exchange programs.
While the expo focuses on economic collaboration, wildlife experts note that Hainan's conservation efforts – exemplified by the panda brothers' care – demonstrate China's broader ecological commitments. The park's botanical gardens also feature over 2,000 plant species, creating a biodiverse sanctuary that supports both education and research.
For travelers planning visits, the park offers immersive experiences that blend wildlife observation with environmental awareness campaigns – a model gaining attention across Asia's ecotourism sector.
