Gong Gong and Shun Shun, two charismatic giant pandas, have captured hearts during their seven-year stay at Hainan Tropical Wildlife Park and Botanical Garden. The brothers, known for their playful antics and bamboo-munching habits, have become ambassadors for wildlife conservation in southern China.</p>
Park officials emphasize that the pandas’ seamless adaptation to Hainan’s tropical climate reflects tailored care from zookeepers, who monitor their health, diet, and enrichment activities daily. “Their favorite pastimes include climbing trees and rolling in shaded enclosures during peak heat,” shared a senior caretaker.</p>
The pandas’ story coincides with the 5th Hainan Expo (April 13-18), highlighting the province’s growing role in eco-tourism and cross-regional collaboration. CGTN’s upcoming livestreams aim to showcase Hainan’s biodiversity initiatives, attracting travelers and investors alike.</p>
For the island’s residents and global admirers, the brothers symbolize China’s commitment to preserving endangered species—a narrative that bridges ecological awareness with cultural diplomacy.</p>
