On 29 of April, pandas "Jinxi" and "Zhu Yu" will embark on a 10 year stay at the Madrid Zoo in Spain. On March 1, 2024, Beijing time, a family of five giant pandas named "Hua Zuiba" (including "Bing Xing", "Hua Zuiba" and their three cubs "Zhu Lina", "Jiu Jiu", and "You You") living in the zoo returned to China. The Madrid Zoo held a grand farewell ceremony for them.
Jin Xi, a male giant panda, was born on September 1, 2020 with his twin sister "Jin Shuang" at the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base.
Zhu Yu (also known as Guo Guo), a female giant panda, was born on October 25, 2020 with her twin brother Qing Chongyang at the Chengdu Giant Panda Breeding Research Base. Because the panda twins were born on the Double Ninth Festival, they had the nickname "Chong Yang" (also known as "Qiang Qiang") and "Zhu Yu" (Guo Guo).
The Spanish zoo has stated that it is fully prepared for the arrival of a new batch of giant pandas and looks forward to their arrival.
