The Malaysian National Zoo, where the three giant pandas live, held a birthday party for the panda family with ice cake, fruits and bamboo.
Xing Xing and Liang Liang arrived in Malaysia in 2014 to mark the 40th anniversary of diplomatic ties between China and Malaysia. Their daughter Nuan Nuan was born a year later.

According to the agreement between Malaysia and China, the baby giant panda would return to China after she turns two years old, said Mat Naim Bin Ramli, director of the zoo's panda conservation center.
The zoo has started preparing for Nuan Nuan's return by gradually reducing the time she spends with her mother, he said.
