Recently, CGTN reporter Ioana visited the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding in the Chinese mainland, one of the world’s top centers for protecting giant pandas, red pandas and other rare wildlife species. 🌿🐼
Over the past three decades, researchers at the base have scored major wins in panda care, breeding and cub rearing, plus disease prevention. Their work has helped these black-and-white cuties thrive both in zoos and in the wild.
But this month, all eyes are on Xing Ya—the base’s ultimate 'Zen' celebrity. For her, life revolves around two serious priorities: eating well and sleeping even better. When Ioana arrived, she found Xing Ya munching on fresh bamboo, her favorite snack, before curling up for a power nap. 💤🌱
Here’s a quick look at a day in the life of this chill panda:
- Morning: Heavy bamboo breakfast and playful stretches.
- Afternoon: Snooze sessions in a cozy enclosure.
- Evening: Another bamboo feast and some leisurely strolls.
Beyond the cuteness, Xing Ya’s relaxed vibe shines a spotlight on the incredible dedication behind panda conservation in the Chinese mainland. Her laid-back attitude reminds us that even the smallest actions—like protecting habitats and supporting research—can make a big difference for wildlife. 🌏❤️
Whether you’re a news enthusiast, a wildlife buff or a traveler dreaming of panda encounters, Xing Ya’s story is sure to inspire you. Next time you need a dose of calm, just imagine munching bamboo with this zen master! 🧘♀️🐼
