Guide to Access to He Hua Panda

"He Hua" or "Hua Hua" panda is a pretty female panda. Through social media videos spreading, Hehua's videos are increasingly seen and liked by more and more people, even fueling the Panda Economy in Chengdu City in 2023, the hometown of pandas. Many people choose to visit Chengdu because of He Hua Panda.

Her nicknames include "Hua Hua" and "Guo Lai", “Hua Hua” means “Flower” for its beautiful appearance and “Guo Lai” means “coming” in Chinese, because when keepers ask her to come back for food, she thinks “coming” is her name and will come to enjoy the food.

Hua Hua was born on July 4, 2020, together with her twin sister He Ye, in the Moon Delivery Room of the Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding, Sichuan, China. Her mother is Cheng Gong, known as the "Princess Mysophobia", and her father is a returned giant panda named Mei Lan.

1. Why He Hua panda is so pupluar in the panda world?

Firstly, compared with her peers, Hua Hua is shorter and more chubby, slower in movement, and not good at climbing trees. It seems funny and cute when moving.

Secondly, the appearance is not the only reason we keep our eyes glued to the Hehua panda's video. In fact, she has been loved by people for her "silly" and peaceful nature, as well as her adorable and beautiful appearance.

More importante, the bamboo shoots she just peeled off in her hand are always snatched away by other pandas, and sometimes she may be beat up by pandas who passed by. The bullied Hehua panda just looks at these little friends in confusion, which causes people’s great pity.
