Fuzhou Panda World in China's Fujian Province marked its grand reopening on January 17, 2026, welcoming visitors to meet five giant pandas recently relocated from Chengdu. The facility's revival comes as part of enhanced wildlife conservation efforts this year, with the new residents already showing playful adaptation to their coastal home.
Park officials report smooth operations since reopening, with advanced booking systems managing visitor flow. A caretaker told CGTN: "The pandas' favorite activity is climbing the specially designed structures mimicking Fujian's forest terrain. Their appetite for local bamboo varieties has been particularly encouraging."
Through CGTN's livestream, global audiences can observe feeding sessions and educational programs about panda conservation. The broadcast highlights the 1,200-square-meter habitat featuring climate-controlled environments and interactive learning zones about China's biodiversity efforts.
For those planning visits, the park now offers augmented reality guides and evening light shows depicting panda folklore. Current travel advisories recommend weekday visits for optimal viewing experiences.
