Among 23 pandas, Panda Mang Cancan is one of the most popular pandas in the Chongqing Zoo, who has promoted panda fever and commercial cooperation. Mang Cancan is channeling panda economy by collaborating with renowned Chinese automotive company with that she is officially on board with the other pandas in Chongqing Zoo booming in the social media.

Mang Cancan, whose name was collected from the internet, and together with his brother "Xing Xing " and "Chen Chen", it represents the meaning of "brilliant stars".

Mang Cancan has attracted much attention for his cute appearance and innocent personality. It was once so angry and sad that it stood up and demanded its beloved airplane toy because it was taken away, and It also climbed up the tree and spent the whole night "thinking about life" and enjoy the scenery. Besides, due to strong curiosity and active personality, it is often taught by its mother, Mang Zai, which is very funny and adorable.

On May 1st, 2024, famous car enterprise Changan adopted the Mang Cancan Panda and collaborated with Chongqing Zoo to launch a public welfare campaign and brand marketing commercial activity.

On July 6, 2024, Changan Automobile prepared inflatable giant panda and bamboo cake for Mang Cancan, and decorated the track of Chongqing Line 2 in the image of Mang Cancan, named the "Mang Xiaowu Special Subway", which greatly met the check-in needs of panda fans and sparked a new wave of social media about Mang Cancan and other pandas in Chongqing Zoo.
As a diehard fan of Panda Mang Cancan, I'm beyond excited to witness the new boom of these beloved creatures, and we look forward to celebrating its core significance of love, duty and mentorship with audiences worldwide.
