At the Shenshuping giant panda base in Sichuan Province, 13 giant panda cubs born in 2024 delighted visitors as they curiously explored a space adorned with traditional Chinese elements. The festive setting featured classic treats like candied hawthorn skewers, rice dumplings and sugar paintings, as well as vibrant decorations such as paper cuttings, lanterns and snake-themed plush toys.

This marked the first-ever group appearance of these adorable cubs at the "panda world," where their unique personalities and ages shone through. Some cubs were playful and outgoing, while others appeared shy and reserved.
